Question to those who got the JO collectors edition
You know the Dark Forces game that came with it does it play on Windows?

Sorry, I thought you are looking for DOS , since you already have DF . Is the collectors edition Df a different version than the original one?
I remember that I played the DF demo long time ago and I had no problem running it in Win 95 .

I'm assuming it comes with the "win95/98" version of Dark Forces, which was released a few years ago. Basically its identical to the MS-DOS CD-ROM version, except that it has a win9x launcher.
For me, it only worked if you installed the game in the default directory (Ie: c:\dark\). Kinda crappy if you ask me, if you'd already bought the game once... there's no point in getting this one specially.

In a sense, the only difference between Win9x DF and DoS DF is the inclusion of an icon file (of a red stormtrooper head), an exe file (the launcher) and a text file explaining how to use the launcher. That's IT. The DoS version worked for me on Win2K pro, with or without the launcher.
I just needed to follow the trouble-shooting to install it correctly (before I could only play it without sound).
