The guide shows you how to install and run Ghost Master. Ghost Master is one of the most underrated games and it really deserves more attention. Sadly it seems there’s no real market for such games. It’s an unique game in the same category as Dungeon Keeper – More games of these, thanks!

If you haven’t already installed steam, download Crossover Games file for Steam (.tie file – “Install via CrossTie”): Click here.

There’s a mod which enhance the gameplay of Ghost Master but also allow you to run Ghost Master without starting Steam up.

Download it here: Click here

Double click the .exe file and you’ll be greeted by Crossover Software Installer. Choose [Steam] in the [Will install into the bottle..] menu. Thereafter click [Proceed].

It should automatically detect where Ghost Master is installed.

Open the terminal and type;

add the following;
#!/bin/bash

metacity --replace &
"~/.cxgames/Steam/desktopdata/cxmenu/StartMenu.C^5E3A^5Fusers^5FPublic^5FStart^2BMenu/Programs/Ghost+Master+(All+Ghosts).lnk"
compiz --replace &

[ctrl]+[o]: Save
[ctrl]+[x]: Exit

Now setting up a launcher;

Edit the current Ghost Master (all Ghost) entry to;

NO VISIBLE CURSOR
This is a little bit tricky, it’s almost hide’n'seek to change the settings with an invisible cursor.

In Ghost Master Options go to Display and click the Enhance Cursor button. Then the Accept button.
Now you’ll have a cursor.

Ingame movies don’t work.
