Just read the compatibility info in the review. Only one line above the link to this thread, you know.
And to answer your question: yes.

Ok guys, I d9ownloaded this game from another abandonware site, but if i try to open them, they say they are not compatible with my computer or something. I really want ot play! Is there anything else that I need to download to be able to play? Any help would be great, thanks!

Have you extracted the ZIP or RAR archive or are you trying to run the game from inside it?

As for extra compatiblity enchancers, you might try using VDMSound and if that fails, DosBox. VDMSound consumes less system resources, but may experience problems with certain games. DosBox needs you to be a bit more computer-savy and willing to experiment with different settings, but it is by far and large the best DOS emulator around, and runs most of the games perfectly (albeit some of them might need a tweak or two in your config file)

When I am running away from the murder when I run into the mummy room the game gives me a error telling me that they did not expect me to do that and I tried reinstalling and changing the sound to pc speaker but it still happened

I have the same problem. I tried using CPUKiller, but that did not help.

I THINK this only happens when you haven't done something that is needed. It could be that you forgot something to pick up or put in your notebook...

When I got out from the newspaper's building and called the taxi, the game simply hangs. The taxi comes, stops near Laura, the pointer changes into halt hand and that's all. Have anyone encountered similiar thing in this game?

I am playing on DOSBox

Hey there, I have a very silly question for you.
At the end of act 5, in the tunnel when I come across the cobras, I use the last bit of the snake oil by they do not react to it. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I love this game. It is awesome not only because of the fact that the entire game tests your ability to use reasonable logic (IE, not trial and error like most "logic" games) to survive, AND it tests your ability to pay attention to the story and surrounding details of the murder mystery. Well, provided you don't cheat. I love the Inquest at the end.

Good job, guys, another awesome Sierra classic has made it on Abandonia.

Euh ... I'm trying to install and for some reason right at the beginning when it tells me to press enter my keyboard just doesnt seem to work :S ... I tried re-downloading the game and it does the same thing ... help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
