Installing Escape from Monkey Island on Win XP x64?

[malmern]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a hold of a 64 bit installer for MI:4?
The original installer won't work since it's partially 16 bit (Or so I've been told) and 16 bit won't work in 64 bit what so ever!
MI:1,2 and 3 works fine, since they can be run with SCUMM, but you can't run MI:4 on SCUMM since it's not a DOS game.
Oh yeah, I tried installing MI:4 on my laptop that runs 32 bit xp, and I copied the registry, but I get an error message when I try to start it saying that I have to reinstall the game.

Best Regards

Quick And Easy Software recently released a new tool called EMI Setup, which is an alternate installer that promises to work on 64 bit systems. You can find more information and download it here: http://quick.mixnmojo.com/software#emisetup

I hope that that works!

Thousands of thanks.. I was hoping that something like those programs should exists.. hehe anyone know if there's a program that includes all sorts of 16 bit games and programs that you can install and then run those old games/programs?

I hope you're not looking for illegal copies of those games...

Anyway, if you want to buy old games and not worry too much about how to run them, you could try Steam, or Good Old Games, which is really cheap. To run old adventure games, you may want to consider ScummVM. You can also download some free games from their site here (legally!).

Well I do not know where i could buy Monkey Island 2, 3 and 4. I do have steam so i have bought Tales Of MI and the Special Edition on MI 1.

Im too young to have bought those games when they were realesed i only remember my bigbrother sat and played CMI while i drewled beside him, altho' I didn't understande a single word that they were saying:P

Love at first sight:P

I was more thinking of an old "Swedish teaching adventure game" that was called "Pyramiden - GÃ¥tan Vid Nilens Strand" I do have the Cd's and have downloaded the game but as i have Windows 7 64x i can't play that oldie.. hehe.. Well im playing EMI now again and after that it's time for another run at "Grimfandango". I do think that a program will be released in due time so that you can play all oldies with just a single program.

I did add your MSN. And i do guess that you have a steam account so maybe you want to share that with me? My Id is "NicklasSteam".

Well the only real place to buy them now is eBay. It's where I got all of mine from. They're probably up for around $20-30 now.
