TN in windows 95/98? - by Pvt. Grey

Is it fairly easy to get TN to run in windows 98? I was thinking of running Virtual Machine with windows 98 and trying t that way. Would it be easier to rummage around for a windows 95 disk and try it that way? I got a beautiful shrink wrapped copy from Ebay and its really busting my nuts!
Thanks,
Grey

AFAIK most people have very little difficulty running Terra Nova under Win98. The only potential issues will be down to the video and sound cards. You'll find instructions within the fixed thread at the top of the forum listing, and a few tips for working around graphical quirks.
It's very easy to copy the game to the hard drive and run it from there (again, see the fixed thread), so you might be able to do that (I guess you'd need to make a FAT32 partition first if you're running WinXP, as I presume XP uses NTFS) and then create a DOS boot disc with the video/sound drivers you need, and run it that way. That's starting to sound a little complex, 'though, and finding DOS drivers can sometimes be difficult or even impossible these days. That problem aside, you should find more details about setting up such things in the thread. (It's a while since I've looked through it, so I don't recollect exactly what's in there.)
