I noticed that on the review page it says that the game is compatible with Windows XP. That isn't true. I own the CD version and have tried running it many times on Windows XP. The game runs but you just get a black screen most of the time.[/b]
Games don't work indentically on every XP-equipped system.
Also, the compatibility tag only means the game will run in that system - not that it will run flawlessly.
This is why we advise most people to use DosBox to run these games.

Not many people seem to be listening to you when you say, "Use it under DOSBox!". LOL



Or are they?

Sadly, they don't. That's what I have this hammer-stamp for.
One swing, and they'll remember it every time they look in a mirror.

I actually played this when I was a kid of about 5+ and I loved it back then (I remember I called the flesh-eaters the flush-eaters). I recently came back to it and it still is an awesome game. Yes, it is a bunch of environmental preaching but it kinda makes it fun to play and laugh at if you're not into all that. (he's like johnny quest in a way...only more ecologically concerned) I think what really makes the game is the music - it's quite atmospheric and fits the underwater theme perfectly - and of course the classic sierra gameplay.
Great game - don't pass it up just because its a preachy kids game; you could be missing out on a lot of other fun.

Default Help! lol

Sorry I know this has been mentioned on here but I'm new to this whole thing so I kinda need help. My game goes into a loop after I get out of the net and I know it was mentioned to play the game in Dosbox. How do you do that? (lol I know I'm not the brightest person) I have the DosBox program but I don't really know how to use it. Thanks to any one who might be able to help me!

Try to read this:

It will certainly help you.
