Queen The eYe

The only thing i can think of is running a partition on your hard drive (split it into two) and install Windows 95 on your second partition. Thats if you still have a copy of Windows 95 that is, seems a shame people can't enjoy their own property just because of advances in technology!!!

It's difficult for me to help you because I haven't got a copy of the game myself.

Wow lads..! You gave me more than enough ideas to stay busy the coming evening. Thanks for that!:)

I actually ripped the music already some time ago already and made my own sing-a-long Queen CD:P no singing, just music...that's rather difficult btw:)

It might be an idea to pleed somewhere for a redevelopment of the game. Could bombard the mail of Brian after the tour?:)

I'll keep you updated with my frustrations tonight (in about 6 hours:)

With DosBox emulator (mentioned 2 posts before) I've been able to run it to the first screen, then it's freezed :-( I didn't try it later (as I played it two times on my old Win98) so maybe with a new version of DosBox (if it exists) or with some settings experimentation it could go.

Yeah folks! really great idea to go play it again.... I've actually finished the game some time ago... when I still had my old computer and Windows 95...
But now, as one of many I have XP and it won't work... I'd love to get it working again... see if I can beat the game again :)

By the way... I used a walkthrough.. so I'm not that great ;)

Install VMWare, then you can install Win 98 on your computer too and play this shitty game easily.

Avoid Win95 or Win2k though - these systems are crap.

ack, would you believe it. While packing my bags this morning at 6am, i completely forgot to get the arena cd outta my computer to take along to my parents house. So can't install it right now..(curse of being a student with dirty laundry and no washing machine:P..)

*sigh*

I'm GLAD it doesn't work on XP!
Rubbish -.-"

Hi guys,

I'd actually like to get a copy of this, so that I can rip the music to aid some remixes. Can anyone please confirm the specs of the proper game? I have seen relative items on eBay, but these seem to be just a book with a 'Making Of...' CD Rom. If anyone knows where I can get hold of the original game, and whether I would be able to rip the music with XP, I would be eternally grateful.

The CDs are audio CDs, so yes, you can rip them.

John commented that it doesn't work because this topic came up a few months back - http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=443288

...and that was the conclusion of that! It does NOT work on XP. Full stop.

It should work on Win98, though.

Peace,
Adam.

P.S. I lost the first disc in my set. Can someone make an ISO image and post it online? Or perhaps point me towards a place that has this already? Thanks.

Did anyone else just give up on the game because of the endless keyboard combos required to move/fight? I found it very difficult to maneuver and never played it more than 5 minutes after several attempts. I play several games online that require manuverability skill to succeed (Quake/Doom/Unreal) but i just could not deal with the keyboard only aspect of The eye.

I remember back in the day it was pretty tough. But once I got good at it and completed the first domain, I was starting to enjoy it. When you win, it pays off and you feel great for triumphing over such difficult odds. However, there was something I couldn't get past on the 2nd domain. Some kind of puzzle. And then, my first disc mysteriously vanished and I couldn't install the game. And that was that! Been trying to get a first disc image ever since. Anyone know where to get one?

Peace,
Adam.

I'll buy the game if anyone is sick of theirs....

Hey Gardener (or anyone for that matter),

Any chance of being able to get a copy of the songs ripped from the game? Not for sale, but just so I have the rare instrumental versions and songs which I am missing from my Queen collection.

Please anyone feel free to email me at [email protected]

Regards all,

David
