Need help with Noctis

[Souper]

So, in the Planetverse thread below this one, it mentions a game called Noctis. When i learned what Noctis was, i was hooked...BUT IT WON'T WORK!

I'm using Windows 7 32-bit, i have no idea how to use DOS mode or even if that's how you're supposed to use it. I don't even know what do download or how the controls work! And if Noctis has it's own forums, they're dead now. I don't know anywhere else to put this.

Does anyone else know how to solve my predicament, please let me know. Thanks!

DOSBox claims to be able to handle it.

Confirmed. Noctis IV works on DosBOX.

[edit]Oh, I forgot about the Noctis CE-Version (called NICE): http://mooses.nl/nice/about/ & http://mooses.nl/nice/releases/R11dot6a/

Just unpack the NoctisCE folder, run "DWNoctis.exe" and after that spend about an hour on "what the hell, but oh boy, this is fun".
