urluckyday Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hey, I know that not a lot of these old adventure games work well on XP computers, and I do have a 95 computer as well, so my question is: Would I be better off playing the Dig on the 95 computer, or will it work fine on my XP computer? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I don't know how well The Dig runs on either 95 or XP natively (if at all). However, there is an excellent DOS emulator floating around in on the interweb called DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ ). Just follow their instructions for mounting your CDROM drive (or hard disk, if you so choose) and set your sound card options to the default SBlaster16 settings from within The Dig launcher itself, and you should be good to go. Of course, you can try running it under XP, but I doubt it'll work. You might have better luck with 95. I suppose I should test that myself, but I really have no need to.

VampireNaomi Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I had no trouble running it under XP. However, you can always try SCUMMVM. It's specifically designed to run old LucasArts (and some other) games, so The Dig will work perfectly on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well, I mean, if it is a DOS game, then it should work great under my 95 computer because I really never had any problem with it on that computer. I'm sure I'll try it on XP first, but my 95 version will probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglu Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 What about Mac? Is there a Mac-version of this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yes there is, but that's all I know. I have no idea where you could start looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglu Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Well, if there is a Mac-version, I will find it someday! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnaltung Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well, if you do have access to a Win95 computer, you can play the game there practically without any flaws. In a Win XP computer you'll most likely need ScummVM to do so, but (thanks to this little program) most probably you won't feel the difference. Check the Sticky, it's all there.

eloqui Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 What about Mac? Is there a Mac-version of this game? I have successfully played the PC version on my Mac using either ScummVM or DosBOX, though I can't now recall which one specifically. They should both theoretically work fine. If there was a Mac version released back in the day, keep in mind it would have been written for MacOS 7 or something, so may not work nicely with OSX.

Valkian Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 There was indeed, a version released for Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
