: I've had copies of both Indy3 and Atlantis for ages. Last year I got a new computer with Win95 and _PAID_ LucasArts for a disk swap.
: When the new disks arrived, I couldn't get them to work. The games seemingly installed right, but the sound doesn't work.
: The tech-support people at LucasArts have been no help at all. They feed me loads of computer gibber and say I need to install DOS drivers and such, but I have no idea what they're talking about!
: Can anyone help me out?
: Why did these games work in Win3.1 but not in Win95?

I MIGHT be able to help.

In the demo versions of the game, to hear sound correctly on a modern computer, you must:

A] Go to the MS-DOS prompt.

B] Type cd\[directory here], i.e. cd\playfate, in the case of the FOA demo. Hit return. At this point, you will have a C:\PLAYFATE> command line.

C] Normally, you would next simply type "playfate", and hit return. The change in our case is to type "playfate a". That's playfate SPACE a. Hit return, and you are go for good sound, my friend!

Hope this helps.
