Weird... well it doesn't work... it might be a property of the modifications that good old games made to the executable. I'll give it another hour or so before I give up on their binary :)
I'll start with... this is the GOG version. So I can only imagine what modifications they made to get it to work for windows XP/7/8. That said, the exact same program works under Dosbox with DboxFE.
Regardless, it's asking for the change to be in config.sys... and having done a bit more...
If you haven't been directed to this url yet and you are interested in python/pygame (as suggest)... well check it out http://inventwithpython.com/makinggames.pdf
There are plenty of pygame examples to play with on the pygame website as well.
Honestly, if you want to use the pandora pygame is...
Oh totally understood, and honestly I love the idea! I've been trying to get my crummy game into .pnd'able shape without the code looking like garbage. But... maybe I should consider that is part of the point :)
What we need is a developer who doesn't need the financial aspect of a game release to show interest in developing for the platform. There are few examples of this on the Pandora at this time. Though I will say that the crap game competition is interesting... it isn't exactly a compelling way...

I'm not holding my breath for any of the Craigix remainder of things that are left for my order...
I think the issue I have with the whole 'deal' is that this comes across as a deliberate undercut to ED. Is Craig trying to hurt/destroy this business?
It's possible, but unless somebody else has bought one I don't think anybody will know for certain.
The prices are certainly in the realm of plausibility to give it a try and still find another use for them if they don't work as expected for whatever reason.
Don't forget that the format is...
In other news... SNES save state dumps is making more sense to me... I am having some tooling issues but might have something promising for Comp4All in a week hopefully... Depends how much the kid's ballet recital and practices eats up my time.
How about a few different spins on it for some 'meta' filters...
