The Incredible Machine Image: The Incredible Machine 3 (GOG) I’d love to see someone have another narrative-focused crack at the Dune franchise, especially with the recent success of the board game and the interest around the upcoming movie. The characterisation was excellent and memorable, with art design that was on point and a wonderful echo of the Dune universe. But more people have forgotten that in the very same year, Virgin Games turned the iconic franchise into an excellent point-and-click adventure for its time. No impossible puzzle bugs, just good old fashioned lo-res fun.Most people remember Dune II, a foundational strategy game that would form the basis of the RTS genre in the early-to-late ’90s. I hope this helps someone because it certainly helped me. You have to have the image mounted to play the game, a la old school gaming. I don't know if steps 4 and 5 in the original list still work as a result. For step 6, run the CD drive on the virtual machine.

Right click the Zoombinis executable file, choose properties, settings tab, and set color to 256 colorsĪlternative to steps 4 and 5, you can use an image mounting software like Daemon Tools Lite to mount the ISO on your modern Windows computer and it will show up in the CD drive on the virtual machine as well.

Go to Player Removable Devices CD/DVD and click connect.

Under connection in cd/dvd settings, tick 'use ISO image file:' and select zoombinis image, click ok.

Once running Win98, on VMWare toolbar click Player Removable Devices CD/DVD settings.

Download this pre-made win98 Virtual Machine and load it in VMWare Player.

An ISO of Logical Adventure of the Zoombinis (see above link).Thanks user 'ENT'!! I'm passing on the knowledge here in case someone else couldn't figure it out. This is something I've attempted a couple different times, and I finally found success, thanks to a comment on this Abandonware page.

I had a Zoombini ISO sitting around on my computer from long ago but couldn't run it on my Windows 7 computer, so I decided to look up a way to play again.

However, the numerous reports of game-breaking bugs on both the Steam discussion boards and this subreddit made me wary of purchasing it. I recently discovered that Logical Adventure of the Zoombinis was released on Steam over a year ago and was quite excited to play it again.
