Review and Download (if available)

looks great!!

yeah it looks like an adventure game :ok:
let's try this

the interface is veeeeeery slow... and were can i save?

To save, open the inventory and double click on the disk.

Cool looking game, and since it's adventure, even better.

wow, I remember playing this game as a kid. Completely forgot about it until now. Thanks to whoever uploaded it!

Yer welcome.

You might want to drop the 'DosBox' compatibility. The stupid thing gives me file allocation errors every time I try to go through more than one section without quitting and restarting the program, and sometimes forced me to redo the same section several times before it stays stable long enough to save. Then there's the Marine Life section, which always kills the program just as I get rid of the pollution.

yeah,

The game got so many bugs/errors in it..

I cant even play longer then a few minutes or he kicked me :not_ok:

I really enjoyed this game however the levels with "put the stuff together" sections utterly lock up the game which is a shame. Perhaps there's a way to make it work better in dosbox?

no one got an idea to solve the problems with the bugs???? :blink:

I managed to make it work on windows XP somehow, no problems or bugs at all. I'm running Service Pack 1 which might have something to do with it

Hey i didnt know this game was on here, i have a disc of it that i played recently, fun game. :ok:

i remember this game from my childhood! loved it at the time! does anyone know if it works on XP?

thanks

Try running it in DOSBox. That should work according to the review.

I remember playing this game years ago. It was awesome!! Thanks a ton for whoever uploaded it. Also, if you like this game, I would also highly recommend Teen Agent. Very good :ok:

OMG!
I remember playing this game years ago, but I only had the demo... WOW! thanks so much!

This game and EcoQuest... I remember that! Before I found this site I kept thinking "I must be nuts. I've looked everywhere and haven't even found a reference to the game. I guess I must have invented it..."

Now if only I can find those weird books I read around the same point in my life...

I have been looking for this game for years and no one has ever heard of it. The cruel thing is that I have the six or so 3.5 floppies that it originally came on in a box in the attic but the last floppy got utterly corrupted so I couldn't install it for 10 years at least. You guys have really made my day. I loved this game when I was little because it was so different than your average p&c adventure. It is literally full of fun historical and scientific information and it made it fun to learn about. Every room has plaques that you can read on your leisure to learn more about the particular exhibit and the puzzles themselves are pretty well thought out. I gotta say my favorite section is and always will be the Salem Witch Trials, because seeing the flabbergasted looks on those gaggling girl's faces is a riot when you make rainbows appear.

Restarting DOSBOX after finishing an exhibit isn't that big of a deal for me but it is odd and I would like to know why it gives me memory allocation errors. I'm a little worried about finishing the game, it might not let me transfer from the last exhibit to the final confrontation with the virus without going up in smoke but we'll see.

I'm finding so much stuff on your site that I used to own but doesn't work anymore and things that I've never heard of but definitely should have. But, I do recommend you get rid of the games pages that are protected or aren't fully complete. I'm not even sure why you have those on there. No one is going to pay $20 for something that should be abandonware and I personally can't stand playing an incomplete version of a game that is supposed to be a talkie or FMV version.

Oh man. . its almost creepy how much can be remembered just from re-seeing a scene. .. like . . . well, every exhibit! And the music! Rocking. . althouhg it seems as if the sound effects are being a bit skimpy. . . I seem to remember hearing more walking and sounds and whatnot . .

I loved this game as a kid. Thanks for uploading.

for some reason I haven't had any problems yet, besides getting stuck in air powered flight exhibit.. how the hell do you get the dirigible back on the mooring? it's driving me insaaane. :sos:

this game was one of the best i have ever played, i remember the nights i spent as a kid trying to figure some rooms out.

Anyone Having A Problem When Trying To Finish The Game? I can't get him to use the tape recorders to play the audio tape at all. I've finished all the exhibits and such but i can't get to the final confrontation. Any Suggestions?

You know its funny how a game that took me two years to beat when I was nine took about five hours ten years later.:amused:

A lot of sound effects are missing, but many important ones are there. (Like the screaming in Salem village!) The music is just as good as I remember, and mick the robot just as much of a jerk.

Okay, i need help on this. I'm running dosbox on Mac OS X, but can't get the program to run at all. HELP!

oh the memories
 

I remember going to my cousins house and playing this game she had alot of fun games

how the hell do u get this thing to install? dos box wont work tried the tutorial thread didnt help me at all, xp 32bit

The game runs fine in Dosbox 0.73. :)
Unzip the folder mmadness on your virtual C folder, run dosbox, mount your virtual C, do a cd mmadness, run setup once and set sound to soundblaster.
Run the game with museum

[Copycat mode]
[/Copycat mode]

virtual c folder?? dont get it...i just unzipped to my actual C drive (my documents)

nvm i did all the steps, changed to soundblaster, tried to run with museum then dosbox gets stuck at trying to run museum

Click here to know how to get a virtual C and to run dosbox properly.

Also:

If you continue to ignore my posts you're on your own.
It's pretty useless to explain it all here how you must run the game, even if in fact it's very simple, in a couple of weeks we can start over with another beginner because the whole explanation will be buried.

calm down, did all that..im not an idiot virtual c to me means using a program called alcohol 120% and making a virtual c drive within that program, sorry i dont speak 1989 DOS lingo. DOSBOX gives me a message like upgrade your video drivers/direct x...if you are so willing to

www.crossloop.com (put fake email address, install, skip registration)

u can connect to my laptop via that program and do the 2min process for me and see what the problem is if not then i guess nostalgia will never come for me

Nope, no can do. No private sessions.

If you have a problem installing dosbox that's the place to be:

It's not DOS lingo, but very generic computing lingo.
Virtual drive = any simulated drive. That also includes such things as hard drives and floppy disks. :noworry:
Alcohol 120%, meanwhile, is meant for virtual CD and DVD drives - ie a small sub-set.

Now that I think about it, maybe you're one of those persons that feels better using a front end, as is:

Don't need to speak 1989 dos lingo with those, they speak win lingo to you ....

No Sound
 

Hey guys, I am not getting any sound from DOSBox when running Museum Madness, anybody having similar problems, I am running DOSBox on a Macbook Pro.

Thanks!

GOT IT!
 

Hey, I got it, had to run the setup file!
