I have it running on a nice big older Toshiba 17" laptop/desktop replacement with XP Pro SP3 running an Intel P4-3.4Ghz processor and a 1440x900 resolution graphics card with 128MB Video RAM just fine. I still seem to be having some problems install this game on some newer PC's. BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS FIXES! I rarely run into an old pin game I can't get playing one way or another. These days windows 7 is just too far along to be able to easily handle such a low color depth. Remember these old, near DOS era games had to default at 8 bit. I've done this for numerous old pinball games.
What I did is just go into the config file, set the menu interface to load up at 16 bit, now no more glitch or crash. So once you get into the menu & can just set it to 16 or 24 bit color, all is well. It suffered from the problems that most old games do, which is that they default with too low of a color depth, like 8 bit. Once you do this & when you exit the game, do what I did & save the newly updated options.dat, in case you need to install the game again in the future, you can toss in this options.dat & avoid these headaches. Maybe I could, cuz I'm not sure any of these are truly for sale anymore & the company is long gone.ĮDIT: I forget if this options.dat might contain my other settings, like keys. I wish I could just upload all these games with my fixes & settings, they can be fired up any time, don't even need installed. All these games about a decade old now but I always have them on hand. This pack I got also came with judge dredd, Avengers, Roswell, & world league pinball. Like all the "Pinball Mania" games, which also have some good, underrated original pins (those games are setup the same as williams, so I think you can use this same options.dat for those). Maybe there are some slight game inacccuracies, but overall these are a pretty solid play, & where else will you get 3D versions of BR & CFTBL & LW that look this good? Nowhere.Īlso remember that slope & difficulty can be adjusted, some people may find the defaults too slow.ītw, I've had to do this same fix for other games by this company.
People often complained about bad physics for these games, but I don't really agree with that. Just gave BR & CFTBL a quick play, this game holds up damn well for being a decade old! This one has all games & the front end maxed out at 1280x1024 rez, & 16 bit color (max).
Put this options.dat into your ARABIAN/gamesave folder (overwrite the old one).
