Hi,

a while back I tried running this pack in my Dell Dimension XPS D266 pentium 2 machine that I've maintained to play old DOS games. And had trouble apparently because of the game protection. Has anyone been able to successfully move this game from DosBox to a real DOS machine. Most of these games I am able to play because I have the original disks but some of the tables I was never able to acquire that's why I jumped at the chance of buying the full pack.


Thanks.

The game has been modified so the original games run without the protection and the updated version of the game which is in your GOG account, replaces the audio soundtracks and other missing items they previously could not offer but now do. If you have the old version of the game, get rid of it, go to your account and get the updated one, its much more improved and includes a correct aspect ration for those fanatics who like a perfectly square picture that only a CRT can provide like the good old days.

Now there is a LITTLE bit more involved to get these games going on a real PC.

GOG.com uses compress audio tracks but a DOS PC wants Audio CD tracks.

I happen to cover Pinball Fantasies in one my videos showing how to run GOG.com games on a real DOS PC:

It involves converting the audio into WAV files (Audio CD format), mounting the disc image in a virtual CD and then burning a mixed mode CD using the WAV files and the mounted disc image.
