Very picky DOS game...

roxor · February 4th, 2004

I have a very picky DOS game, Tyrian. The only computer I have been able to sucessfully get Tyrian to run on is my piece-o'-junk 486SX/25 laptop running DOS 6.22, and even then I have to have it on low detail and max speed to be playable (no to mention I have to play in black and white, due to the laptop's monochrome screen). I have had it run under win95/98 on other machines in the past, but none of mine.

Does anybody know any way I can get this game to run, either under Win98, WinXP, or an emulator?
