I downloaded Return of the Phantom and started it okay. I left the computer for a minute. When I came back the screensaver had started, the game had shut down and now it won't load. I get a message about needing EMS. What is this and why do I need it?

Computers back in the day needed various types of memory - EMS,XMS, Himemm etc. Try closing the game down, and then restarting it in Dosbox. Click on Resume or Restore at the main menu. Hope this helps.

Use DosBox. Or VDMSound. Whichever works better on your system.
You can get them from our programs page.

I can't get past the copy protection part. The word it asks for never lines up with the PDF.

Page 11, line 6, word 1 for me is "managed", but it's asking for a word starting with "i".

I've tried a few of these and still can't get past.

EDIT: I figured out that you have to look about a line up and try and find the word nearer there instead.

The archive I gave already has the sound set. But you need to use DosBox to play the game and get sound.

I've downloaded the game but now it won't work....i tried running it in windows xp (mainmenu.exe) but it will only go through the intro and shutz down...no music or anything....i tried loading the others files but the boxes appear and dissappear before i can see the problem....i also tried playing the game in dosbox....running phantom.bat in it....but it still doesnt work....when i try the mainmenu.exe in dosbox it jus says thankyou for playing.....is there anyone that cud help....i really liked the remake of the movie and id love to play this game.....or is there another site to download the game?

The game does not work on Windows XP, it only works in DosBox.
What version of DosBox are you using? You can get the latest version from here - http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs

Don't try to use the Setup files, as the sound is already set. Just use the Phantom.bat in DosBox. It should work with no problems.

This game is amazing!

But I'm at the part where I've fallen from the Sky Loft, and the game keeps crashing. I've disabled sound and music, but it still crashes and my PC is way too slow to run dosbox

Hints please?
