That was a fun read to go back to page one. It was especially nice to read all the posts from Jenny. Makes me miss her even more down in Glitches.


Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

After attempting for the #$%^& time to
install "Dead Reefs" on my Windows 10
today I succeeded!
The developers must have had
their hands free due to the recent circumstances blush

Anyway: for those who own the disk version
this is good news.
(as administrator and
on Windows vista, this worked for me)

For those who want to see "The Deppster"
again in action, lol


wink Rob, FlyingDutchman 41 (not anymore cry whistle)

Well done, Flying Dutchman42! So, just install as an Administrator and it works, right?

That is great news! The game runs great on my Windows 7 computer but I hadn't tested it on Windows 10.

And yes, the main character reminds me of Johnny Depp, too. grin

Thanks for letting us know! thumbsup

Hi Guys,

It runs fine on my windows 10, but only since yesterday,
so there must have been some changes made recently
(by developers I guess)

Marian: "Reminds me of Johnny Depp?" You can say that again!
It's "Sleepy Hollow" (without the Sleepy Hollow parts,
but with the ghost! lol )

Thanks for the reply's wave wave2 , Robert

Hi all
Anyone know if Byzantine: The Betrayal will run on Windows 10? Near as I can tell it isn't available in a configured form, and I don't have a cd drive. Happy to purchase an external one as they aren't expensive but if getting it to run is a lost or fussy cause I probably won't bother.

I believe this game would require being run in a virtual machine in order to get it working on the newest operating systems. If I find any info about running this particular game, I will let you know. smile

flotsam, take a look at this link. I "believe" this game is classified as abandonware, but I'm not sure. Anyway, this has a download which uses a version of DOSBox and has been tested on Windows 10. Website not vetted!!

To download the game, follow the link below. This exclusive installer uses the DOSBox Daum build of DOSBox 0.74 running Windows '95. Manual included. Tested on Windows 10.

IMPORTANT - Remember to shut down the emulated version of Windows before exiting DOSBox. This could potentially result in errors, lost saves and corrupt data. Press Ctrl-F9 when it is safe to do so.

Thanks for the Byzantine link Draclvr, I downloaded the game and it will be awhile before I install and test it, but thanks again.

And Yes, it is an Abandonware game so all is good for legal reasons.
