Hi, has anyone tried the BB computer game on XP? There's a guy on ebay selling it (and I thinnk it's been sold a few times) and I'd like it if it would work on xp bt I checked out his feedback and one buyer said it didn't. Anyone had better luck? The item number is 3183687484 .
Cheers

You can just download it from those abandonwarez sites around, The Underdogs, Classic Trash .. just go for a search ...

I had it running at a 98 se box with no problems, but i couldn't make it work on a XP home ed.

I even got it working in Mac OS X.

If you got it running in win98 have you tried changing the compatibility settings in winxp to win98?

I also got it running on a win98 box -but I guess this is worth a try with WineX for Suse at home

It works fine on XP if you know what you are doing.

I'd best give up now then

.

Thanks for the links though - despite my luddite approach to computers I think I'll give it a go....

Nonono, I'm not recommending he purchase it. If you want it, go get it from an abandonware site. DON'T BUY IT. It ain't worth it (unless you want it for a collectors item or something)

Well, I got DosBox... excellent program by the way... I can actually play my old Lucas Arts games now... woo hoo!!

Anyways, I kinda got Blood Bowl running on it, just having a small issue with sound...

Anyone that has gotten it to work could you post what you configured your sound as?

Thanks.

I didn't have a problem with it... except that it is truly awful.

First thing I did when starting up was look for the music/sound effects "Off" switch.

What was the problem? Any other games have similar issues?
