Okay I'm back- I guess I'm just a noob with DosBox and what-not.
For anyone else who needs to play the game from the disc-
Insert Disc
Start DosBox
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\ (this gave me some silly warning)
Now open the d drive- d:\
type install and run the install. It will ask where to install it to, send it to c:\lord
Installation takes like 40 minutes for real
To play WITH EPIC MUSIC AND VIDEOS AND NO PARAGRAPH READING open DosBox again and
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\lord\game
c:\
lord
Its incredible! Thanks for this thread though, I wouldn't have had the motivation to do it without it. If theres any way I can upload this data to the site, let me know, i'm happy to help.
