Some mods such as Bloody Pulp Fiction also try to make using them through DOSBox easier, although this can hinder installing them on different operating systems other than Windows.īlood remakes or homage games such as Transfusion, Q3 BloodBath, Blood TC, ZBlood, Re-Blood, BloodCM and The Flesh Game do run on modern Windows and Unix-like installations. The GOG.com version of Blood comes with DOSBox configured and ready to install and is recommended for Windows and GNU/Linux users. Unix-like platforms such as GNU/Linux and macOS have never had any kind of native MS DOS support unlike Windows and as such have always required the use of a DOS compatibility environment such as DOSBox to run Blood. This also applies to other Windows-like implementations such as the free software ReactOS. Since most modern versions of Windows have lost nearly all of their old DOS support (most notably in the versions based on NT rather than the old 1.0/ 95 code bases) the need for third party created DOS compatibility environments such as DOSBox has increased. Support for MS DOS applications was maintained through Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, and limitedly in Windows XP. This can be done with the included MS DOS Prompt. Blood can also work with more modern versions of DOS, the most major being the free software version known as FreeDOS.īlood can also be ran on some older versions of the modern Microsoft Windows operating system without too much trouble. Afterwards you can configure the game to run properly on your hardware, such as setting up sound and graphical settings, through the game's setup utility. Blood was developed to run on computers using MS DOS on those systems if you have a Blood CD-ROM then you can just put the disc into your drive and run the install program.
