Welcome to the Forum, jello.

Yes this is the correct place for your question.

As for your problem, you do not have to install the game, in order to play it. Just type "star" in the Dos prompt. If you try to install the game it simply copies the exact same files to another directory. The reason the install program is asking for disk 1 is that you probably have crossed out the speech pack. This feature does not exist on the english version.

Keep in mind that this is a German remake of a game in English. Germans, in particular, are not good translators. (Watch out for the occasional mistranslations in the game). And there are very few germans who speak English. That is the reason why speech is not included.

The option is only left in the install program. They probably forgot to remove it.

Hope this has helped you a bit.

(Also it took me some time to make them :wink: )

Hey, I don't think that there are very few Germans who speak English! I mean, try to find someone who speaks English in France, Italy or Spain. There you will have a hard time!

In fact, the games of the "Northland Trilogy" are remakes in English of originally German games. The fantastic world where the games take place is a well-known German pen&paper roleplaying game called "Das Schwarze Auge", that has been invented in the early 80's. As far as the direct translation of that name (The Black Eye) has a completely different sense, they called it "Realms of Arkania" at first and today (I think) "The Attic".

The games benefit from this fact! You can sense that there is a huge fantasy world and a long used rpg-system behind them.

I don't think there are more English or American people speaking German than the other way round. So, please be careful what you're talking about. Many Germans know how to speak English a lot better than quite a few other folks as they start learning it from the age of 10 for about 4-5 hours a week. Even if you're from Norway and do know German: keep it together!

Your comment is, therefore, quite unhelpful and ill-researched.

By the way, how do you explain that hundred thousands of copies of the English Harry Potter version were sold in Germany on the first few days. If they don't understand any English, it must have been for decoration...
