Under a Killing Moon / Pandora Directive

If this is the wrong place, please direct me where to go.

I tried to install these two oldies on my computer recently.

They were made for Windows 95, and I have XP Pro at home.

I ran the compatibility mode thingy, and I actually got both games to install and run, but when they start up, my mouse cursor doesn't seem to want to appear. The only way I can get out of these is to Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

I was wondering if anybody has managed to get these oldies to run on their coms, or has any advice for me to get them running on XP Pro.

Thanks.

 

i was going to try and run tie fighter and x-wing, but i have to cabilate my joystick, and there is no connection thing for my old joystick in the back of my xp, so once i get it working ill tell you

 

Sweet thanks.

I assume by you calibrating the joystick, you mean I could possibly do the same thing with my mouse?

 

Anyone ever play the Original title? Mean Streets? I'd love to find a copy of it.

 

honestly i dont know if a mouse will work, but its worth a shot. i mean, does the game need a joystick?
if it doesnt, the mouse should work fine.

 

No, it does not need a joystick.

But, when I run the game, the mouse cursor doesn't show up, and I'm out of ideas.

 

Sounds like they were made for DOS, but run in a DOS shell in Win95.

Hang on a second...

Yeah, look here.

And here and here.



Google is your friend.

 

yeah just like Dark Forces
its run in MS-DOS
and MS-DOS games like that wont work on XP, at least from what i have tried
sry

Almost any DOS game can work in XP given the right tweaks. Dark Forces is easy enough...
