I actually got this game running. I used D-fend which I have tried using before with no success but it worked this time.
I played a bit and the interface takes some getting used to. I talked to some of his merry men and went off and promptly got lost (boo!). Then I looked in the little booklet that came with the game and saw a map (yay!) but I was too lost to find my way back (boo!) so I'll have to start over.
