When Barbie beats a challenge, she’ll receive part of a key that, when complete, opens a new undersea landscape to explore.

Won’t open and also won’t let me delete it because it claims it’s open and that I need to close it first but it’s not appearing in Task Manager 🙁
I used the .ova file from this tutorial to run win95 on the VM. I was able to install both barbie detective vacation mystery and barbie ocean adventures within this 95 vm thing. the yt video in this tutorial shows how to get the games into the win 95 once its in the vm.

Hello providing an update on how to get this game to work with Windows 95 Virtual Box with 256 colors and working sound!
Step 1: Create Windows 95 Virtual Machine on Oracle VM Virtual Tool Box First. ( I installed Windows DOS then ran the Windows 95 installation disks {1,2, and 3} and it worked for me)
Here is a link to get started:

Step 2: Update the 16 Bit color to 256 color so that the Barbie Game can be in Full Color here is the tutorial to do that plus the Iso File you have to download in order to switch the color from 16 bit to 256.
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFTCazn199I
Step 3: You need to setup the sound card so that you can hear the music in the game. you need to change your settings in VM by clicking on your Windows 95 machine and click settings,
then switch to
Host Audio Driver: Windows Direct Sound
Audio Controller: Sound Blaster 16
Extended features: Enable Audio Output
Here is a link to setup your sound card:

Once your done with this you can download the game on your regular computer then, go to your virtual machine 95 by:
going to settings:
going to storage:
click on the empty disk drive:
click on the blue cd icon and click choose a disc drive file and
click on the Barbie ABOD_V.1.0 Iso file
then you should see the Barbie disk icon show up in your my computer folder and once you click on it you should be able to download it and enjoy your game!
took me a week to set this up, hopefully this is helpful to someone!
not working on virtual machine 🙁 weird colors and no sound
I always got error during the download.
does anyone know how to get this game working on windows XP and windows 7 without it crashing after i try to run the darn application? if so, please help, thanks
You have to run the game inside Windows 95 or 98, to do this you could try with a Virtual Machine, hit me up if you cant make it work. Regards
