==Making it work==<br />
Since this is a CD-ROM game, you will need to mount either the physical CD or an ISO image while the game is running.<br />
The settings are straight forward, but for best performance you will need at least 200MB of free space on your mounted C drive to install. If installing with the minimal (20MB) or standard version (60MB) does not work, use the optimal version (200MB).<br />
<br />
Typical mounts will show around 100MB of free space. Since this is a huge game (for its time), you will need the flag '''-freesize'''. Try '''mount C YOURDRIVE -freesize 1024''' if you need intend to use the optimal version.<br />
<br />
Use the default settings for Sound Blaster 16, and all will be well. The speed of the CD-ROM drive can be ignored if you are mounting the ISO.<br />
<br />
==Reason for Gold==<br />
The program hangs once a blue moon, and sometimes the game will ask for the CD-ROM when it is already mounted. This is tested on Ubuntu 7.10 with DOSBox 0.71. Just close the window and reload the game. Save often.<br />
