Privateer 2 Deluxe Edition

Sanchez

The game runs fine without any compatibility layers but it runs real fast. This is the Win95 version and it basically runs as fast as it can on the computer. I'm running win2k pro and tried qfixapp and nothing helps to slow it down.

VIA/S3G graphic card, 64MB performs like 16 MB? King Kong don't like.....

E42onthebrink

Recently bought King Kong. Won't run right. It seems that the only games my video card can handle are for 16MB cards or less, when mine is supposed to be 64MB. Driver's all updated, still doesn't work.

I've been trying to get Earthworm Jim to run on my computer all day, and just can't seem to do it. I'm running *gasp* Windows XP with SP2 installed. I've tried to run the game through DOSBox, but no luck - it immediately crashes.

Oni´s error message is quite fun. When I launch it with no compability mode, I see the intro and after that, an error says: Blam, Oni Crashed!. When I use a compability mode, I can´t see the movies and a different error appears.
