[edit] Installing on XP64 Hard to Find - Encylopedic Though?

You have to go through some odd steps to get this game to work on a 64-bit Windows system, but I've done it, and I can document it. Unfortunately, there's nowhere I can find, except my own head, where this information exists, or could exist, in any persistent manner. This leads me to Wikipedia, but I'm torn over whether such material is encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a tech support site, but there is nowhere to link the information that is more appropriate and can be retained indefinitely. Thoughts? --208.41.98.142 12:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd think it would not work here, but I wouldn't fight the info being preserved. Perhaps a link to a page that has these instructions, such as gamefaqs? Aristoi 17:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

A link to a site that has the solution would be best. Because its a DOS game though, all you need to get it to work is DOSBox or another decent DOS emulator though. I run it with DOSBox on Vista with no problem. Finfyd 07:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Finfyd

Regarding the style police comments, I agree that the format could use some tweaking. I might take a stab at it when I get some time. Finfyd 08:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Finfyd

[edit] Edits

I've started to break the article into more manageable parts and will continue tomorrow.--Wilson 14:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC) ♦More progress,will need to rewrite some.--Wilson 16:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It has been broken up but beyond that I don't know how to fix.--Wilson 14:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice job! I'd say making the tone a bit more formal and cutting some of the content down. A overview of the main parts would be sufficient for a next step. Aristoi 18:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
