I tried to play it, however it seems to be too old for my XP to run, and I have no idea where to find an Emulator. I just noticed my title, why is it different from everybody else's  :'(
Your title is different because you haven't made ten posts yet.

Beyond mods, that's all there is for titles. Prevents "Hurr, I have more posts than you so I'm right/more important/better than you" kind of stuff pretty well.

It's the copy protection. A table, that shows the correct number, somewhere in the manual, or a codewheel or whatever.

(EDIT:  Dammit.  DOSBox refuses to work on this computer, it keeps thinking my \'s are ]'s.  Also my right shift doesn't work.

Help?

Oh, I think I found something.

I have no idea what any of that means.  I don't want to mess with my drivers and stuff, as I am tech-inept.  Guess I'll just play it on my XP computer~)

I remember having that problem. It wasn't limited to Dosbox either, the fix also let my tilde key work for Morrowind and Oblivion. In my case, my laptop had a built-in IR receiver. I'm pretty sure I did a permanent fix, since I don't ever plan to use an IR device anyways. If you like, I could always try to step you through it. It's really not that bad.

Thanks for the offer, but it's alright.  I saw "Japanese keyboard" someplace on that thing I found, and I actually use that, so I don't wanna disable that.  Besides, if I accidentally do something wrong, I'll have no idea how to fix it.  :x

Best to just use the other computer, no?

PTTG??
