AOD works !?!?

John Pancoast · 09-27-06, 10:16 AM

Doing some software cleaning out (much needed), and came across my old floppy version of AOD. Have the cd version too.

Haven't loaded it in years on a non-dos box, because of the usual problems.

However, that was always with the cd version. On a whim, loaded up the *floppy* version on an old P4 I have, and it runs perfectly ! Sound, everything. SB live soundcard, no less, Win98 restarted in dos mode.

Has to be slowed down of course, but I was surprised it even started/ran.

So, if it hasn't been mentioned before, maybe one or more of the extras on the cd version is the culprit more than anything.

Anyway, fwiw.

I was able to get it to run on my old computer running Win98...but without the sound. That's a little too much 'silent' hunter for me.
