Hmmmmm, I don't remember if I got sound to work in that game or not. I've usually just been going through every game I can get my hands on and first seeing if the game actually runs. Then later I'm gonna go back and not the odd problems with them in 2000. (No sound/vesa). According to the VDMSOUND Compatibility page: http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/ntvdm/compat/index.html
 
It works. I'll see if I can test it out to work today or more likely I'll have to play around with it tonight at home.

So, Dosfreak is british....I guess you have the same kind of poor connection like the rest of Europe. Like your, I want high speed internet...I want cable (but the fuc..... cable provider is VERY slow putting cable everywhere, so until 2003 I won't be able to connect to a higher speed than 56k (and don't mention ISDN, it's flat rate is very expensive (100 Euro/Month) !!!!!
 
PS: Day of the tentacle rulez!!!

Then, welcome to European slow and expensive internet access :-(
 
I know americans are always surprised when they come to europe and see there no really afordable flat rate in NO european country. that's why we did an strike a long time ago, but still no success ( http://telecom.eu.org)
