Witchaven and Witchaven 2
Does anyone have any experience running these games? I cant get them to run even under Win98! Are they even worth bothering with?[/img]

Build 3D Compatibility
I have a game called Powerslave. It is another one of the Build 3D made games and I think it is really underrated unlike Duke Nukem. In my opinion, it's pretty fun but it won't run on my computer. I'm planning to use this setup for that game. Speaking of Build 3d Game compatibilty, I heard the guy who made the Nolf B patches say that he worked really hard on compatibilty with Duke 3d, Blood, and Shadow warrior. Powerslave, Witchhaven, etc. he hasn't really been working on. So basically, those games have very lose compatibilty according to him. Obviously, they won't run well on your computer with that.

Powerslave exits just like that....
I still can't get the game to work in Windows or Dos. That's because first of all I need to know where is the default directory with the game e.g.(Duke Nukem 3d is C:\Games\Duke3D
Now I don't know where to put PowerSlave. I also tried DosBox, it works at the beginning but just after a few seconds at the title screen where the skull is laughing the game just exits. I really have no idea what the problem is. Have you made any progress trying to get it to work?

Powerslave 95?
Thanks! I will give that a try to see if it works! So what do you think about Powerslave so far? I read a lot of reviews where they said that the game had a nice atmosphere.
Just like before
This was exactly what happened before when I ran it with Windows. That is why I switched to Dosbox. After swinging my knife a few times and running a few steps the game just exits. So then I tried Dosbox and it exited at the title screen. I configured it to Creative Labs Sound Blaster or 100% compatible which is what I always do. The sound works and everything is all nice but after a few steps the game just quits for some reason just like before. Can you please help me get it working, then?

Krieg rule this earth
Ok,the best thing i can suggest is to play through the first level with no sound {tell setup you want no digital sound} because i used a cheat to get to level 2 and it didnt crash at all.It could well be fine just after that first level {or even segment of level} type holly during gameplay and then in the box that pops up type level 2 if you want to bypass levels.I had no luck using VDMS sound.Also be aware that there is a shareware version of the game that contains entierly different levels if you find you like it and finish it

Windows ME was really good with Dos
Well all I remember was that it was running fine when I was using Windows ME. You can play so many Dos games and they all work with that operating system so you will rarely need to use Dos emulators.
No sound, still no work
Hmm.. I just tried it with no sound and it still exits out after a few steps. I have no idea with level 2 because I can't even run through the first path way let alone kill all the enemies, solve all the puzzles, do all the objectives to finally get to level 2.

Try the cheat to get to level 2,i had no crashing at all after doing that,the problem could be a bug in the game itself.There probably wont ever be a port,the game was universaly canned {the pc version} when it came out but i dont think its THAT bad! It shouldent matter what directory you use,i just run it from desktop.Use the cheat to warp to level 2,it seems fine after that..........when you start a new game and your just standing there type "holly" to bring up a box in the upper right corner of the screen then type "level 2" {remember the space after "level"}..........
