Quest for Glory 4 Collection problem

Post by Edward »

Hi all,

I have the QFG Collection CD in my disc drive.

I discovered the useful installer on this website in conjunction with DOSBox. I have DOSBox 0.74 installed. The installer worked great with QFG 1, 2, 3. But number 4 fails to work -- which is the one I especially wanted to play, voice-overs etc. intact.

Any idea what's wrong? Double clicking the shortcut prompts DOSBox to start, revealing where the drive is mounted, but then it simply exits. The game doesn't start.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Collector,

I solved the issue. I had a copy of the Anthology disc lying around. I used the Anthology installer for Quest for Glory 4 in conjunction with the Anthology CD and it works. Not sure why the Collectors edition didn't work. Thanks for your input.
