by the way, you dont have to slow down the whole game with slowdown programs, you can always get the speed back anytime
edit: for example here is one slowdown prog http://www.4shared.com/file/19612133.../SlowDown.html

the game works fine for most of it, its just a few crucial parts that overspeed. i dont know if slowing down the whole thing wold be a very good idea. logic suggests that the game would be mostly unplayable, exept for the fast parts. do you know of anything i could do to dosbox to fix the problem?

well, its actually odd that the game runs fine in windows (except the speed) and gives you a runtime error, cause it uses to be vice-versa.

but if you want to run the game in windows and it runs too fast, there are few slow-down programs for your pc. google for mo'slo for example

runtime error? are you sure you were running it in dosbox and not in windows?
[/b]

yeah im definitly sure, the only reason i was trying to use dosbox was the game ran WAY too fast in regular windows 2000. in some parts, like the action sequence in the coloseum, the game ran way faster than it was supposed to, so i kept dying. is there anything i can do to make it run the way it was intended to? the regular walking around stuff works just fine.

Dont want to troll too much

This game might have some nice content and good humor (i really haven�t ever seen it before, but i do know the hugo series ...), but the graphic was already more than dumb and obsolete in 1992 (the time, when space quest 4, king`s quest 5, wing commander and other games in full blown 320x200x256 vga looked already a bit old, as more and more used svga and better resolutions)

"They also do give a good feeling of the earliest graphical adventure games, so all in all, they don't substract anything from the game." sounds like it was done and released about the same time as other games with that graphic style, but that was about from 1984 to 1988 ... (even the last releases of sierra ega games and lucasarts ega games had a much better graphic design than this one and shouldnt be compared in that way)
:blink:

nevertheless the story sounds interesting and i might try it out someday, as i love the adventure genre really much, but it does not have a professional look and feel, more like a homemade game - especially for that time, and so it deserves more about 2 points than 4 or even 3

I agree, if the game was created in 1992 and it has those graphics, it should be rated accordingly, not whether they "subtract" from the experience at all, you put your personal preferences aside and rate accordingly on all aspects.

I'm having trouble with running the game, that when anywriting comes up, instead of spaces and punctuation there is a big squiggle, which makes it hard to use. I'm running it on XP. Any ideas how to sort it out?
Cheers
