OK. I've tried everything imaginable to get screenshots off this game. I think it has to do with the fact I'm running Windows ME. (It doesn't have realtime DOS accsess.) Can somebody please help me ?!

Are you using DOSbox?

No. I tried it once but it was too slow.

Too slow to get screenshots from?

So slow that I couldn't get past the second fmv. Oh, here's a list of programs I couldn't get working: PCX dump, VideoThief, ScreenTheif, SnagIt, Gif dumper, Grabby, some other PCX program, and print screen. Again I'm using WinME, so that might be my problem. Please tell me it's the OS so I have legitimate excuse to ditch it. ;)

I guess we told you to ditch it a long time ago, but you just don't listen us.

Some parts of mankind can be defined in three terms as the start of any conversation.

  • Tomb Raider
  • Bargain bins
  • Windows ME

Try like I couldn't afford a new copy of Windows 98. I might go with 95 instead.

Couldn't afford? You buy new games every week and can't afford an old OS? I did a quick search in eBay and found auctions starting in US$ 0.99!

Though I have to admit that this whole "buying an OS" thing is a strange concept where I come from. =P

What I meant was a one that was a "buy it now" thing. I never get stuff you have to bid on.

Well, most of the stuff in the buy it now costs US$ 40.00. Your last buys (according to your bargain bin thread) were that NES for 25 and those other games for 15. There you go, how come you can't afford 40 bucks?

Because I only have 30 bucks. 8D
