Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Mods, the only reason I'm mentioning this torrent is because the 2.0 version required for modern gaming is something I've never, ever found reasonably within a store. All supposed versions are the pre 2.0 bundles. If someone knows a place to still obtain this, legit, I'll remove the link.

After listening to my sweetheart nostalgia over this game, I made it my evening goal to find a working version. After much searching and investigation, I've come across a torrent that serves everyeone's needs.

http://www.kat.ph/zoombinis-logical-journey-mountain-rescue-and-island-odyssey-t2445689.html

I've tested this torrent personally and there's a few things to note:

  • It works on 64-bit Windows, due to the executable being full and proper 32-bit
  • The versions are updated to include bugfixes, DirectX stability changes
  • Mounting the ISO files with Virtual Clonedrive (freeware: http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html) did not require a crack to run, so long as you kept the ISO mounted while playing. Also DAEMON TOOLS AND SIMILAR TEND TO CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THIS GAME AND MANY OTHERS
  • Running the game in Windows 95 compatibility mode fixes most audio glitches
  • That torrent includes the 2.0 Logical Journey in combination with the two expansions.

Hopefully this aids the community, especially because of how difficult to obtain the 2.0 version is for modern operating systems. Happy girlfriends are best girlfriends.

PS: I'll be seeding

Installation issues? A few people are having installation issues. I've now tested the entire installation process on three Windows 7 x64, fully updated, computers. All three needed no compatibility settings and all three used Virtual Clonedrive. If you're having issues don't hesitate to ask. If the installer worked just fine for you, let us know.

And yes--if anyone does find a legit way, I'd love to hear it.

[–]BittyTang 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I own the game on disk. The only legit way to play it is with an old windows 95-XP PC.

[–]werdism 0 points1 point ago

Any idea why it freezes when I try to load Setup.exe after I have mounted the iso? I'm on windows 7 64-bit.
A 'Do you want to install? Zoombinis Logical Journey' window comes up with yes/no buttons but if I hit yes it freezes and I have to manually close it.

[–]Nodus_Cursorius 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm familiar with the game installation stalling if you attempt to run Setup.exe without UAC or Administration. Before we dive into tech support, I'd recommend that first.

Also, make sure you don't have multiple Setup.exe running in your process list from previous attempts (ctrl+shift+escape)

edit: Failing that, try running INSTALL\setup32.exe as administrator, bypassing the initial launcher. If this, too, fails, I'll happily toss a dozen questions your way in an attempt to resolve this issue. Note: This does not happen with my Windows 7 x64 installation

[–]werdism 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I tried to run both the Setup.exe and INSTALL\setup32.exe as administrator to no avail. I have the iso mounted with MagicISO yet it still locks up when I hit 'Yes' to install.

Do I have to change it to run in windows 95 compatibly before I try running the setup?

I don't have UAC enabled and I am the admin user.

*Oddly enough the demo in INSTALL/Demo/Z2/zoombini2.exe booted up just fine and I could play that.

[–]Nodus_Cursorius 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I did not need to run it in compatibility mode for installation. I can't imagine why, but it may be that MagicISO is interfering with access?

Using the above Virtual Clonedrive would put you into the same scenario as myself (same os, same installer, same mounter).

Going to contact you via PM with my Steam/AIM/MSN information so we can troubleshoot it out. Once we find the solution I'll repost it here.

edit: For now, the actually installation size of Zoombinis is rather small due to it pulling most of the data, during play, from the CD. I've uploaded the post-install folder (all very small) which you can put anywhere and run, so long as you have the ISO mounted for the game you're playing. - http://ge.tt/8IKRb7C

I've updated my original post after helping someone with odd issues and learned that Daemon Tools caused major complications across the board, as it always does. I HATE Daemon Tools and most other ISO mounting tools. Long live Virtual Clonedrive and simplicity.

Give Virtual Clonedrive a shot (see my first post here for the link) after uninstalling/removing Daemon/MagicISO.

[–]TheDudish 0 points1 point ago

I've been trying for 5 hours straight, can't figure out how to get it to work. I found the Windows Update that claims it should work, but I can't get it to install - haven't found a way to bypass it locking up with _Setup.exe. Any advice you've got would be great, otherwise I'm abandoning this project :P

[–]Nodus_Cursorius 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What ISO mounter are you using? What OS are you installing onto? Are you finding anything related to the installation or hang (Control panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application & Setup & System)

I don't have a magical system, but a vanilla, fully updated Windows 7 x64. Whatever is causing the problem for the small lot of you, we'll find.

[–]Nodus_Cursorius 1 point2 points ago

I avoid Deamon Tools like the plague, but to answer your question the files are:

Directory:
zoombinis\

ISOs: 
zoombinis_journey.iso
zoombinis_island.iso
zoombinis_mountain.iso

See the link in my post regarding Virtual Clonedrive

(freeware: http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html)

So far, most people report the process as painless. If you have issues, send me a PM and we can talk over Steam.

[–]Nodus_Cursorius 0 points1 point ago

To those monitoring or searching this thread in the future:

We resolved it by getting rid of Daemon Tools (ug), restarting to remove DT's drive, and installing Virtual Clonedrive (yay). The process was flawless so long as Daemon Tools was completely out of the picture. Even with it installed but disabled, it would interfere in such a way that the game still couldn't recognize the ISO as being mounted.

God damn I recognized it from the thumbnail, the pinnacle of gaming.

That was when I realized I didn't give a damn about piano and just wanted to be a piece of shit who played video games all day. 11 years later, living the dream.

Not that I know of. I tried the same thing with Need For Speed III, but the computer wouldn't play it. The computer my family owns is standard, so there's no aftermarket additions added on. All you do is insert disc, offer a blood sacrifice to the computer gods, pray it works, and see what happens.

pfft, we had the Hugo games on our school computers, one class, that I still remember some 10-12 years later, was devoted to working through a walkthrough for the first game.

The day we managed to beat the third game without a walkthrough was one of my proudest moments in Primary School!

I bought this game when I was like 10 years old because I thought that on the box it said "Adventure of the Zombies". Couldn't believe that my parents let me buy it. Was so damned happy. Until I installed it, wtf'ed and read the title on the box again. I have never been so disappoint.

I had been trying to think of the title for this the other day, but after seeing this picture I immediately ctrl+T'd my way into a new tab and typed in Zoombinis without a second thought. Thank you, good person, for helping to jog my memory.

This game taught me to hate nature and its prejudice against grapes with roller skates.

this game was dam near impossible to play the pizza level with without audio! My whole computer class would just guess randomly at this point. When someone actually won, the whole class got up and cheered because it was such a rare occurrence.

Oh God I was just talking about this with my friends the other day. This game was pretty rad compared to everything else they had us do in the computer class.

I seem to remember that the game came in a apple software pack. At least when I was a systems administrator at a school district we had a ton of CDs for that games and others like it.

Ah the Zoombinis, my favorite childhood game about profiling and judging based on looks.

MORE TOPPINGS!

Recently some friends of mine ran a dual boot of windows 95 and fucked up one of their computers to play this game - we randomomized a bunch of Zoombinis and one came out with the name OVIKRAPE.

Needless to say, OVIKRAPE was immediately hailed as the chief Zoombini of our empire, and we worked tirelessly so that him and his slaves could progress.

There's one computer lab in my school that has Starcraft installed on some of the PC's. Sadly, I wasn't assigned to a computer that has it. Instead, idiots that go, "WTF?! WHAT'S LoL DOING HERE?! THE GAME SUX" gets to have them. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
