Hello.

The game is Quantum Gate: No one dreams here. It uses a specific video emulator: Virtual Cinema. I believe it has to be mounted on an emulator, but I don't know which one. :/

By any cance does anyone have this game and got it to work?

Thanks

Oh my God, I just played this game! It was like a month ago; I'm not even kidding. The sequel, too; The Vortex.(What can I say, I'm a sucker for cheesy FMV games.) I can't believe someone else is interested in playing it in 2014.

Anyway, the way I was able to get it to run was by bypassing Windows 7 entirely, and playing it through a virtual PC running Windows XP. I believe it ran pretty smoothly from there. The program I used was Oracle VM VirtualBox. Hope that helps.

I recommend you VirtualBox, I use that a lot and it's free.

Works like a charm :)
