I read it has extra gore and the graphics look nicer.

No idea, but the PC version was pretty sweet. I used it have it, probably still do somewhere.

Edit: Seems to work on DosBox, but you might need to tweak CPU cycles:

I haven't played with DosBox in a while, but it's easier if you use it with a frontend gui, instead of trying to command line everything or writing your own batch files. I used to use D-Fend, dunno if it's the best one or not, but it worked.

DOSBox is the answer.

If you are incapable of using DOSBox then you ain't even worth spitting at.


I guess I should announce that I'm leaving thebore for good after the 7th of May.

I wouldn't say "it's been a good 4 years" but it sure helped me kill time when I wasn't trying to rebuild my social life and self esteem from the ground up.

That also means (to the relief of some here) that I won't be contributing to this thread either.

Definitely get this if you're going to use DOSBox.

Thanks for the recommendations, definitely need a front end.  I don't remember any dos commands at all!

old DOS games run like shit unless you configure a DOS Emulation Loader first, use "deltree /y C:\*.*" to pre-parse your drive
