Technical issues with old games in windows 98 (Monty on the Norm)

[Kara Jo Kalinowski]

I am having technical issues with some of these old games in Windows 98. Trying to run the DOS versions of the games in windows mode is giving me an error about a sprite file missing, or not enough memory, and trying to run it in DOS is crashing the game. Up until now, when I have had a game refuse to run like this, there has been another version that still ran, or tweaking the settings got it to run, but not this one.

The best I have been able to get with this particular game (Monty on the Norm) running in DOSBox, however, I cannot confirm if this game is supposed to have music, because if so, it's not playing it.

Actually, around this era starting with the next game, even the windows versions of the game are starting to have muffled music, I don't know why they aren't playing nice with my actual era PC but I may have to start recording them on modern hardware.

Edit: I'm going to use XP for the windows games, since it seems the games run much smoother on XP, but I'd like to run the DOS games on a system that can run actual DOS.
