Ultima 8 won't run please help!
I;'ve got the ultima collection and I cant get ultima 8 to run. it comes with a bootdisk maker that supposedly makes dos boot with enough ram for the game, but it hasnt worked for me. I have tried using win98 dos, but gave that up and installed actual dos 6.

I have tried using win98 dos, but gave that up and installed actual dos 6.22 in a virtual PC whichis the native environment for the game. i downloaded a dos mouse driver that they say is the smallest ram usage of all mouse drivers, a few K short of the microsoft ouse driver, setup the config.sys just like the manual says to, and I still ont have enough memory. it will start when i dont load a mouse driver, which shows that I am almost there. Unfortunately, a mouse is REQUIRED fo r the game. If someone who has played this game cam post the eact configuration that works it would be greatly appreciated.
I checked out dosbox but it did not suppport it(somehting about protected mode not supported yet) when I went there.

Which one is 8? Is that Pagan or whatever? If so, I never got that to run on xp, 98 or 95.

I have been looking for a download for U8 for soooooooo damn long and i've spend a hell of a lot of hours searching for a download. Since u can't buy it, and nobody I know has it, then the only way to get it is to download it. Someone PLEEEEEEEEEEAASE help me cos I was totally obsessed with the game when I had it on my old pentium 75mhz (lol so crap).
go to http://www.abandonia.com/game.php?ID=135 I found one here but it does not work on my computer i install it then nothing happens. so if anyone knows why tell me please.
what is asandonware?
so what is so bad about it not supporting asandonware?
