Select “Extended Level MIDI” instead of “Base Level MIDI” when asked.
Dosbox windows 3.1 games small resoluiton install#
Install the game with default options, and be sure to install MS Video for Windows. When the installer starts up, select “Install game to hard drive (faster)” and click OK. In Windows 3.1 go to File > Run Run d:\setup.exe Once the King’s Quest VI disc is in the drive, start up Windows 3.1 then go to File > Run and type D:\setup.exe (not install.exe!). Now DOSBox would act as though I had my original CD-ROM loaded in an optical drive. In my case I started up DOSBox then at the command prompt typed in imgmount d c:/users/josh/documents/kq6.iso -t iso.
iso file as a virtual CD-ROM using the imgmount command. iso file from it to use and saved it in my Documents folder. I still had my original CD-ROM so I created a disc image. It really was a pioneer in the CD-ROM gaming industry back then.įor my recent replay, I wanted to experience the enhanced version again. It had higher resolution facial animations and some other artwork which was a welcome enhancement at the time. My first playthrough as a kid used the DOS version of the game, but I discovered that there was an enhanced version a few years later and we actually owned that CD-ROM version so I tried it out on that same PC when I was in junior high school. As a kid I spent hours trying to figure out the puzzles, dying constantly, reloading saved games, and discovering the fun and quirky world in the game.
King’s Quest VI is the first PC game I played (apart from Solitaire and Minesweeper) because my parents purchased it with our first family PC in the early 90s (see my article about Windows 3.1 where I talk about that). I previously wrote about running Windows 3.1 via DOSBox, so this article will pick up from that point. I recently had the urge to replay King’s Quest VI and wanted to use the enhanced version that works in Windows 3.1. However the steps outlined still apply in Windows 10 or other OSes. Some of these screenshots are from Windows 7.
Quick Note: This is an old draft of an article that I am finally getting around to finishing several years later.
