Er ... I assume CyberGladiators is a DOS game? I have never heard of it.

For a start, you can try the Tech Support section on Rudy's "Sierra Chest" site: http://sierrachest.com/index.php?a=game ... s&fld=tech :)

If it is a DOS game, you can also try DOSBox. It needs a bit of tinkering, but it's easy enough to use.

For anything else, I'll leave this thread to those with more knowledge than me. Buona fortuna! :)

I'd never heard of the game either, but a five-second Google search told me that Cyber Gladiators is a Windows 95 game.

A good idea, but it may not solve the issue of running a Win95 game (that's 26 years old) on Windows 11. It might need a specific installer or something similar to get it to run properly, assuming compatibility mode — if such a thing exists on Win11 — doesn't solve the problem (and let's be honest, compatibility mode usually doesn't do anything useful, regardless of Windows version).

Oops, I forgot to google it. :| Windows 95 narrows your options considerably.

I mean, you could try Scummvm. It's a program which allows you to run some classic adventure and/or role-playing games, provided you already have their data files.

The operative word is some -- Scummvm doesn't support all classic games. (I don't know any one program that does!) ;) But it's worth a try, right?

You may want to try your luck at Vogons.org. I did manage to find an 8 year old thread where they had some luck with Windows XP. Although XP is 5 OSs removed from Windows 11.

This might be a lot of work, but running Windows 95 in DOSBox is possible.

https://DOSBox-x.com/wiki/Guide%3AInstalling-Windows-95

I tried this years ago and got it to sort of work, but I think I had problems getting a game to install. It looks like some progress has been made since then.

Afraid I've never heard of the game though.

Yes, so did I. Just wondering, MI: what is that avatar from? A game? A show? Just curious.

I thought it was you at first. I can't remember if I have it in the avatar gallery or not. If so, its addition to the gallery would have predated your usage.

That can't be. I cropped that image myself. The dimensions and pixels are identical.

Did ye ever use the avatar on other forums, other than here, where they may have snaked it from?

Then it's mystery solved. ;)

I hope no-one snakes your new image, MI (King Graham playing a violin? *light bulb goes on* It's KQ2, isn't it?)

Not a mystery (or an offence really). I was just thrown off when I first saw it is all lol. And no, it's just KQ1 not KQ2. Graham doesn't play a fiddle in KQ2.
