    Default Running Hi Octane on Windows XP

    I downloaded the Hi Octane (for Win 95) file (link), but I can't play the game. I've been trying for an hour with no success, and I've tried to use DosBox and D-fend Reloaded to run it. Can anyone help? The best I can get is *this* command window, by running HIOCTANE.BAT. Sorry for being so noob :/

    Well, according to the compatibility list, it is considered fully playable on versions 0.61-0.72.
    Here is version 0.72, and Here is version 0.70 (the one that has the largest green bar, so I'm assuming it's considered the "most" supported )

    If that does not work, you could always try the PSx or Saturn versions.

    Wow, thank you. I'm not sure what I did differently this morning but I have just watched the intro video in perfect '95 quality

    Took me hours to find this game seeing as all I remember are a few bits of track from when I was 6, but now it is running! Thanks!
