This game was the shit back in the day. Very deep sci-fi/fantasy RPG. The dungeons are all in first person too. Fucking great game... it's also long and has a shit ton of dialogue.

Looks like it's free now. Check it out

Also, when I first saw Avatar, i thought it completely ripped this game off.. way to fucking rip off the alien species. all they did is make them blue

Downloading for sure.

whoops, this should have been marked video game.
if anyone is serious about playing this game, see how far you can get. it starts getting fucking hard. it's pretty cool when all the pagan\Viking elements are thrown in (after the first few hours of doing shit in alien city)

I can't remember... haven't played in years. Check the walkthru. Just make sure you check a lot of wardrobes and dressers and stuff

I Downloaded and installed it on my new comp and when I hit run it just opens a window that says "Please insert the Albion CD into your drive. Thank you for playing Albion" WTF

toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 7,2011 4:03pm
gotta get dosbox. then you got to put albion on your C:/ drive by going like this in dosbox:

mount c C:\Albion

C:\ dir

-it will then list all the stuff in C:\Albion

then just type "main" and it should run "Main.exe"


if that doesn't work.. try typing "setup" to run "setup.exe"

it will bring you to the sound configuration option.. just select sound blaster 16 or whatever and it should work

yea, you get the pistol in the COM ROOM. just played for a little bit last night.

I went through setup and everything, it still does the same gay thing. is DOS box something i need to download?



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 7,2011 4:21pm
if you have windows XP or windows 7, albion might not work.
so you need to get the dosbox thing.. you can download it here. it's a pretty small DL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/fil...ox0.74-win32-installer.exe/download

DOSBox Emulates DOS the way NEW WINDOWS SYSTEMS SHOULD BE DOING IT. FUCK YOU MICROSOFT

once you install dosbox and put the "ALBION" folder on your C: drive "C:\Albion" - run DOSbox and follow those steps above

it would work fine



toggletoggle post by BlessedOffal  at Mar 7,2011 4:45pm
thanks. downloading DOSbox now. hopefully it'll work cuz this game has peaked my interest.



toggletoggle post by BlessedOffal  at Mar 7,2011 5:56pm
It still just says 'please insert the Albion CD in your CD-ROM drive'



toggletoggle post by Randy_Marsh at Mar 7,2011 6:02pm
rossua,

when in DOSbox...
example:
mount a c:\users\mike\desktop\downloads\albion

z:>a:
a:>launch.exe

to setup the sound it should look like this...

a:>setup.exe

and then you will go to the albion configuration screen.

Uuggghhhhh, so good. Reminds me of going to CompUSA back in the day.



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 7,2011 6:45pm
fuck. you can only download the normality CD as a premium user. that game was pretty funny. typical mid 90s stoner adventure game. kind of pissed, the version they have that you can download doesnt have the voice acting- the best thing about the game.

i have the .iso ripped of the cd if anyone wants it.

toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 7,2011 8:20pm
really man? That link Eddie posted should work.

Download the "cd" version from that site. there's this program called Dameon Tools that can run those disc image files which acts like the CDs in the computer. That'd work..
DL dameon tools haha. Or just give up?

dwarf fortress rules btw. I am awful at it because it's the most complicated thing ever, but I REFUSE to let technology win.

You can only buy Albion on Ebay, pretty much. It was a rare game in the US to begin with. I only heard of it because the demo was on a 1995 issue of PC Games magazine. Fuck, I still have all those old demo comps. I'm gonna bust them out.
