The back cover says Win 3.1 or later as a requirement. Their is no mention of DOS. Shouldn't there at least MSCDEX be mentioned?

Was there ever another source for the game? The release info also come from the disc.

Looks to me that this entry should be Win3.x and Win95 and not DOS.

I go with: Win 3.X only - later is normally always used in 3.X tech-specs as info, here in this case, for 3.11 - for Win95 i think there's no native version supported - it can be compatible used with.

As the description says, it's only the comic book reader that runs in 3.x, not the game part.

The game is DOS and Windows95 only. Since that's all we care about, Windows3.x has been deselected and will be removed. I know I';m breaking the rule for mentioning platforms in the description... but I have to say it somewhere or it will be confusing. The cover art for this game which I will scan says it's a Windows3.x product and doesn't even mention DOS.

Seems like it still caused confusion :D

Hey look, I'm answering my own question:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/They-Call-Me-Skul-Skull-Windows-Computer-Program-PC-Game-CD-Rom-Tested-/171088643137?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item27d5ad8441

I still find it weird that there is no mention of DOS on the softkey release box sys req. And the lack of 3.1 threw me off.

Well, that is settled then.
