OK, now I'm completely stuck! I've just tried Virtual PC 2004, installing the ol' MSDOS 6.22 from my original floppies and the necessary CDROM drivers, as well as the mandatory SB16 line in AUTOEXEC.BAT... but the game just installs, happily playing the test guitar riff for sound setup and the intro video for video setup. When I run it, I get the black screen forever...
HEEELP!!! I am seriously considering rearranging my real hard disk partitions so that I have MSDOS bootable just for this game!!!
