New Installers for Sierra Games

New Installers for Sierra Games

For Sierra Windows only games, see SquirtTheCat for new XP/Vista installers by jafa
(Note: These should work for 64 bit Windows)

Note that some anti-virus programs may give a false positive for some of these installers. This is particularly true of Avast, Norton and McAfee. The installers that use DOSBox or ScummVM will check online for the most recent version to determine if you should upgrade. Also, if you do not have it installed or if it is outdated the installers will offer to download and install the latest for you. You can always opt out, but if you do not have it installed, you will need to download and install it yourself before using the installer.

DOSBox is the perfect solution for most of Sierra's classic games that came with a DOS interpreter. It provides the environment that the games were written for. It shields you from the many timer bugs that plague these games on modern PCs. Though it is easy to use, many feel intimidated by the task of setting the games up in DOSBox. Help is here. I have written some new installers that will automatically set the games up to start in DOSBox from a Windows shortcut. These installers do not include any games -- you must own the original game discs to use these installers.

Just insert your game CD in your drive and run the installer. If you do not have DOSBox installed, the installer for the DOS games will download and install the latest for you. You will be given a chance to choice a different DOSBox than one installed in "Program Files\DOSBox", if you wish. The installers that make use of ScummVM can also download and install ScummVM.

Floppy games can be installed by copying the files from the disks into a folder on your hard drive and running the installer from that folder. This makes it possible to install on a computer that has no floppy drive, just copy the files over from a PC that does.

Note: Avoid installing these games in a systems folder like "Program Files". Write access to these folders is limited, which has proven to cause issues with older games.

See here for the 2006 Sierra Collection DOSBox Updates.

Any issues may be reported on the SHP forums. Requests will be considered. Please post in the appropriate game's forum. . 

These installers are free for personal use. By downloading any of these installers you agree to not redistribute them or use them for commercial use without prior permission.
