Braindead 13

Braindead 13 or Brain Dead 13 is an Interactive movie game produced by ReadySoft that was released for DOS in 1995 and later ported to consoles in 1996. Unlike Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, some of the first interactive movies which began as laserdiscs, it was released for PCs and game consoles only. The main character is a young computer expert (Lance), who is called to fix a computer at a scary, dilapidated castle one day. After repairing a large super-computer, Lance learns of a diabolical plan to take over the world. He quickly finds himself in trouble, being chased around the castle by Fritz, a psychotic servant of Dr. Nero Neurosis, the main villain of the story and a disembodied brain. The player must guide Lance in order to defeat Dr. Neurosis and escape the castle alive. During gameplay exploration of the castle is freer than in most previous interactive games by showing crossroads. This leaves the route for finding the Brain Chamber up to the player. Eventually the player will arrive in the chamber to face the disembodied doctor and Fritz-Lance traps Fritz in the water tank with Neurosis's brain and flushes its contents, then flees the castle as it collapses into rubble. Also, much like in Dragons Lair, the player has to react quickly in order to live to see the next scene. If the player fails to do so, either Fritz or something in the room will kill Lance. These deaths include, dismbowelment, decapitation, decomposition, dismeberment, etc. However, the player has infinite lives in the game, and after the death sequence, there is a revival sequence, whereas Lance bursts out of a coffin, given blood, etc. [IMPORTANT] In order to play you must copy the file WING32.DLL from the Folder WINSETUP inside the ISO into WindowsSystem32. It will NOT run unless you do so. As far as I know, Windows Vista is the only operating system that has this problem. [Seed Please]

Hello, I've downloaded "Brain Dead 13" but... still I cannot run it...
When I copy the WING32.dll that's included in your folder "WSETUP" into the one containing the .exe file, it says "L'application n'a pas réussi à s'initialiser correctement (0xc0000005). Cliquez sur OK pour arrêter l'application." so in english "the application failed initializing (0xc0000005). Push OK to stop it."...
Do you know what to do? Do I need to download an emulator such as DOSbox?
Please tell me! ;)
P.S.: thanks for the torrent, however

The problem I encountered was that Windows Vista would refuse to run it. What I found as a solution was to create a Virtual Machine (Microsoft VirtualPC is free, and works just fine) and install Windows 98 on it. That seems to run BD13 just fine. Unless you have other uses planned for the Virtual Machine, a virtual hard disk size of 2 GB should be more than adequate.

Also, I apologize for the gap in the comments. I don't check up on this very often. ^^;

@melajovine
A correction to what I said before. You need to copy WING32.DLL into the System32 Folder on your primary hard drive.

I've gotten the game to work without any outside method that has been described previously. All I did was mount the image to the latest daemon tools lite, then went into the image on the virtual drive (example: "E", "F", "G" drive) and clicked the Autoplay or BDWIN.exe after placing the WING32.DLL into the specified location (System32 folder). The only problem I have at the moment is that the game screen is too small to observe. Furthermore, when I try to adjust the resolution in the games' screen menu, it plays, but soon crashes after numerous control functions, then doesn't give me access to playing on random occasions. My OS is Windows XP SP3, just to let anyone know that it works on this OS version.
If anyone has a pure solution for the crashes, please provide information on how to prevent them. I'm also currently seeding, so hopefully this'll give someone else a chance to find out a solution for most of the games' problematic installation.
Thanks for the torrent. This is a rare game.

BabelonKing even after many futile attempts i got nothing, it still says the same message, but in regards to your comment " All I did was mount the image to the latest daemon tools lite, then went into the image on the virtual drive (example: "E", "F", "G" drive) and clicked the Autoplay or BDWIN.exe after placing the WING32.DLL into the specified location (System32 folder)." that didnt make sense to me, is there a different way you could explain it? keep in mind im still kind of a nooby at all this
