sudo dnf install dosboxĮxtract the Windows 3.1 VHD file (which I had from my old MSDN AA days). Install DOSBox, which is probably in the main package manager on your GNU/Linux platform. We are going to install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox, install drivers, and then install the game. The Zoombinis game was published in 1996, and it supports Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Here is the optimal route for making it work.
I decided to try to install it on my Devuan ceres laptop. It was fun, and apparently I learned a lot. The game Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was an amazing game when I was young.
Gamespot walkthrough for Beyond the Titanic. gitlab: beyond-the-titanic/History/History.txt. The icon I used for my project is linkware, so by linking to the author’s requested page at, I can use the icon. Loading the fpc-version savegames into the DOS version of the game caused some funny and tragic endings where the monster killed me while I was standing on the deck of the Titanic. I did observe the savegame files are not compatible between builds. The game has an interesting quirk in that it really, really depends on having a terminal with size 80×24 and not anything else.Īnd of course, my Fedora COPR was having trouble building the package, but I promise you the rpm spec works on Fedora 28 (reference 4) and the dpkg spec works on Devuan 2.0 beowulf/ceres.Īlthough you could of course just run the BEYOND.COM version in Dosbox. An enterprising individual (not this author) modified it and made it possible to build with the Free Pascal Compiler (probably known as fpc in your distro packages). In 2009 its source code was released under the GPL (reference 2). It was a shareware game for MS-DOS, in the genre of text adventure (now known as interactive fiction). One game I played in the past was Beyond the Titanic.
