MS Hellbender

[Jim C.]

Is there any way to get my Windows 95 era Hellbender game
to run on an XP system? I've tried all the "emulation"
type tricks that Microsoft says to use to run older
games, but nothing works. This was such a great game, I
can't believe they ignored it with XP.
HELP!!

Hi Jim,

Yes, unfortunately that is known and confirmed in this MS KB:

You *can* continue playing it on your system however, by using
Virtual PC to create a Windows 95 system on your XP desktop!
