Here is best DOSBox tip I can offer: use Gravis Ultrasound for sound! The quality is superb compared to Adlib/SB variants. I even think the music was composed specifically for it - that's how better it sounds. And speech is there too.
For Gravis to work you'll have to run game's own SETUP.EXE and choose it [1.], then change following DOSBox lines in .conf:

Code:

sbtype=none
gus=true
gusbase=220

2nd best choice is SB Pro but DOSBox does not emulate stereo with that card. For it to work correctly (but in mono) "sbtype=sbpro1" must be set. If you leave =sb16 then you will hear the absolute worst SB16 sound of your entire life.

@Hlges
Thanks for the Guide! How is 2018 treating you?

@Mystvan
Looks like the ISO Cellar already has the CD-Image

You have our gratitude, the Grandmaster Jackie Chun.

My great regret is that many tools like GameWizard no longer work on the latest Operating Systems...

Lucky to you all!

Hello. Would it be possible if you could offer your copy (original on CD) in Forum Offers please?

Depending on the file size, the link for game could be made available in Forum The ISO Cellar.

We would be grateful for your offer.

Anyway, since Dosbox was launched, I never had trouble making it work. Also, after all these years, I have written a guide to it, available in Gamefaqs (I won't put the link here because I don't know if this breaks the forum rules).

I have never experienced the bugs described here, and I play this game since the 1990's. Probably a bad copy?

Hello. I am not sure because I cannot remember the facts of more than 20 years ago. I presume the causes of the problem could be:

• Bad copy mentioned by you with corrupted files;

• (Old) Game patch with bugs. Bugs of Sam & Max have already caused problems, but those do not compare with bugs of FFVIII

. Probably the bugs of FFVIII are comparable to the bugs of Reunion;

• Use of the editor / trainer GameWizard at this point in the game;

• Unknown causes?

By the way, thank you for the Walkthrough / Guide.

Unfortunately, Reunion does not have many tips or guides in an organized way (Walkthrough, Guide, etc.)...

With the use of Game Wizard Editor (looks more Trainer than Editor), you could change the wealth and other game details. The only one though of this wonderful tool is MS-DOS and Windows 3.x compatibility only.

As some Abandonians mentioned in previous posts, at some point in the game, the game crashed and was abandoned by my brother several years ago...

It is a pity. If someone could fix all the bugs, it would be a great strategy game.

By the way, marko river... I’ve never seen an Abandonian with as many powers (or badges) as you.

You just missed being a member of Grammar Squad...

I will add more details.

• I do not know if the Game Wizard works on Winsows 95;

• I would like a more detailed and complete Walkthrough - Wikipedia gives an overview since the beginning to the end of the game;

• The Game Wizard is very versatile, because I remember it worked on Syndicate (before we know the cheat codes), Master of Magic, Gods, etc. It was a wonderful Mega Trainer / Editor...

• The Game Wizard leaves you so powerful that you are able to defeat the last hostile alien race. I remember my brother had a powerful squadron that was defeating the enemy squad when it suddenly boomed! Big Bang! And the game has always crashed on the same spot so be abandoned forever...

In relation to marko river...

• He only needed to have an avatar among the Admins, Updaters and Mods in Realms of Abandonia

;

• I think the marko river just does not have the Elite, Staff and Grammar Squad badges.

EDIT:

Unless someone releases a bug fix patch to the game Reunion, I doubt anyone will be able to reach the end of the game. If anyone managed to finish the game, there must have been quite a few players.

And no wonder there are just a few walkthroughs about the game and only with information with few details.

I have a lot of desire to play the game, but I prefer to avoid the frustration of not being able to finish the game merely due to the bugs.

EDIT:

It would be nice if GOG.com tried to fix the bugs of the game and release it on its store...

EDIT:

I may be mistaken, but maybe after and epic stellar battle, it would be the last step before humans could return to Earth.

Unfortunately, bugs in the game do not allow humans to reunite with their fellow humans on the home planet. Lost in space forever...

I sincerely hope that GOG.com can offer this game with the other classics (Dune series, Gods, Flashback, etc.) to its customers.

Yeah, could be our website is a bit buggy... I mean there are lot of bugs, could be changing adress is one of them.

Anyway good luck with Reunion bugs. The game does deserve to be completed, although I'm sad it didn't add even more diplomacy. Good game still.

Nope I'm totally assured that mushroom bug is actually simple bug (not one of that green planets surface), now there is no bug for now... Been playing for like hours yesterday and nothing, we shall see

P.S. Meni te opcije uopšte ne prihvata, stavio sam mesto i grad ali ništa i dalje kaže updejtovano, a onda stoji N/A

Hmmm, aren't mushrooms part of jungle planet scenery when you land on it? Maybe it mixing what to display and breaking. I didn't have this problems, although I heard lot of stories that game is buggy in the second half, only my bugs didn't prevent me from playing. Good luck then with your persistence

P.S. Auuu moram da update-ujem account, ne zivim u BG vec godinama

A i drzavu bih mogao da updatujem kad malo bolje pogledam
