Do you mean "Bood Bath at Red Falls" or another game?

Hi jratga,

Could please clarify some things so that the researchers can better
answer your question?

Firstly, do you own the game, and have you encountered a problem
installing the game?

What exactly is this problem, if it exists?

Or do you own the game, but do not know how to start the installation?

Thanks,

bobby_d

Can you tell us the system requirements and all other important info
about this game? You can find these info in a/some file/s located in
the CD's root directory (setup.txt, setup.doc, readme.txt, readme.doc,
etc.)

hi jratga,

i found that the original manufacturer, underworld games, doesn't have
a website any more (uwgames.com is used by someone else) so technical
support from them probably doesn't exist.

i also found  (after much searching) a download of it and tried it on
my windows 98 machine, and it ran for a few minutes before it crashed.

i have a windows XP machine also, and old DOS games are often
difficult to get running in XP, because it runs on a whole different
OS kernel. fortunately there are some sites that go into detail about
how to solve this problem

i recommend this page because i have used these steps myself to get
the blood bath demo running on my Windows XP machine. However, the
game did crash after about a minute of playing, but since that
happened with my windows 98 machine (which runs on the DOS kernel) i
think the problem is game-related crash, not OS related.
