--- Comment #5 from volkerobhof@web.de 2010-08-29 05:43:56 CDT --- I tested it with wine 1.3.0 stable release. Here it doesn't start, too. The installation works fine.
But I found some addition system requirements for this game.
http://www.cdaccess.com/html/pc/max2.htm
Requirements:
IBM or 100% compatible PC Pentium 133MHz (P200 recommended), Windows 95 or above, DirectX 5.0, 16MB RAM (32MB recommended), approximately 80MB hard disk space, 2x CD-ROM drive (4x recommended), DirectX certified sound card and 1MB DirectX certified video card, 100% Microsoft compatible mouse.
Tested OK on Windows XP. To install run SETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM and DO NOT install DirectX 5.0.
The original game can not be installed and startet under windows XP so you have to switch to 98 or ME.
But I get the same screen error dialog "Screen Init Failed". I have even started it from shell but there not error output is displayed.
It's a really strange bug.
