I got Incubation when it was released. From my somewhat faitn memories, it's a really cool, original game.
Now, I've been wanting to replay it for some time. Unfortunately, I can's get it to install on my Windows 2k PC.
I've been looking for instructions or patches online, but all I found assume that you can install the game and just have trouble running it.
But that's not the case for me. The installation aborts before copying the files from the CD. Copying the files manually doesn't work either. I already used the "compability mode" trick to get setup to start in the first place, but as mentioned it doesn't finish.
Maybe I have some strange version of Incubation and other releases can be installed fine. Anyway, does anyone know how to install an obstinate version of Incubation or can anyone tell me where I can download a version that doesn't have this problem?
HotU only offers a buy link and I don't feel like buying it when I have the original CD right here - not to mention there is no guarantee that it'll work. Apparently the game runs on every version of Windows except 2000.
I can tell you there are few things I hate as much as programmers who are so smart that they make their install routines detect the OS and tell me that it won't work and abort.
Any help is appreciated, naturally.
PS:
This thread might belong in the Gaming Help forum, although I'm not sure how many people would actually see it there. If most people are like me, they never go there. Whose brilliant idea was it to place a forum below Retardo Land in the list?
