Is it possible to play King's Quest VI on my current PC?

[RaNDoMMAI]

I was looking around my old cds and i found the game King's Quest VI cd

i installed it by doing "run" "cmd" "D:" "setup" and i went through all the prompts but then when i double clicked on the King's Quest icon at the end nothing happened.

My system specs are
Athlon operon 165
2gigs ram
6800GT
Dell 2405 LCD

it says i should run it 256 color but i dont think i can go that low.
is there anyway i can play this classic game?

TIA

maybe this KQ3 version will work w/your set up http://www.infamous-adventures.com/kq3/index.php?page=home

Yeah I remember I was able to play Kings Quest 3 (IMO the clear best of the series 😉 ) on my windows 2000 machine using a dos emulator so I imagine it should be easier for the KQ6

i'm sorry for being such a noob but i couldnt get it to run with DOSbox

i did
mount c c:\dosprog and it says "Directory c:\dosprog doesn't exist"
same thing when i try d instead of c as that is my cd drive

I have the real cd for kings quest VI
and i am using dosbox .63 as the ratings gave it the best

anyhelp would be awesome

Thanks
