Review

Heh heh heh,
Nothing more fun than to play an evil court jester out for revenge!!!

The graphics are good.I played this game some years ago bur since i'm not a guy with plenty of imagination I couldn get to far so quit :angel:

Oh it looks great!!

I'm deffinately going to try this one out ;)

:D

Count me in there. Now it's time to try it out! :ok:

Sorry to hear that, because the longer you play - more twisted your caracter gets. I think Malcolm would fit nicely in the favorite villain category (although you're actualy playing him)!

cannotplay game it says not enough memory.

Played it in DosBox?

I can't wait to try this game!

i have the second Legend Of Kyrandia if the owner of this site wants it i just don't know where to upload it or send it

what is dos box?
It says not enough memory

i uploaded Legend Of Kyrandia 2 The Hand of Fate to a free angelfire site For Kosta to download so he can add to this site just waiting for a reply i don't wanna post a link without permission from the Moderators of this site

I DEFINETLY still remember System Shock, cause it's awesome :P

Well, it is, of course. But what does it have to do with Legend of Kyrandia 3? :huh:

Thanks, but we already have the game. If it's not on our site yet it's because the review hasn't been done yet.
But thanks for the ofer, it's always nice to see people who want to help out!

Did you not read the review.

Well, umm, no... *blush*
Just did it now. But hey, I remember System Shock too. And it was a great game, which I still like. Though Kyrandia 3 and System shock are two different games, and I for my part think they're both worth the same. ;)

<<<But hey, I remember System Shock too. And it was a great game, which I still like. Though Kyrandia 3 and System shock are two different games, and I for my part think they're both worth the same. >>

You're probably right, Freddy, although System Shock is new to me. But it was a convenient way to end the review, right? :D

Hi, Holly. Are you using Win 98? The game must have about 570ks of conventional Dos memory. And it must have this kind of thing in your config sig:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM
devicehigh=C:\BTCCDROM.SYS /D:OEMCD001

DOS and the devices must be loaded high to conserve conventional memory. To see how much memory you have (if using Windows 98) go into the Dos prompt and type 'mem'. If you have less than about 560-570ks under the FREE column in conventional memory then you'll have to free some up by loading high the devices or taking some out that you don't need to play the game.

However, if you have Win XP, I can't help you as I've never used this OS. If you ask in the Trouble Shooting section, someone who also has this sytem will be able to help.

System shock is great..

Is it already abbandonned???..

If it's a yes...count me in for the review :ok:

CANNOT play game due to not enough memory.. Wish I could play this game.

Holly, can you tell us what system you're using? Is it Windows 98 or Windows XP? Once we know what you're using, then we're better equipped to help you. I wrote some info for if you're using Windows 98 a few replies back. Did you see it?

[When I tried to activate the game, I received a Dos message asking me to insert a CD into drive E. However, if you hit the 'f' key these requests are no more.
Wendymaree and Kon-Tiki]

:help: :help: any other idea ???? I get the same message even if I hit the "f" key :rifle: ................... :Brain:

Auren, another thing you could try is to put any CD into the drive. On my machine this also stopped requests. :)

thanks a lot wendymaree ...it really worked :ok: :ok: :ok:

That's cool, Auren :D

"Who remembers System Shock now"?

javascript:emoticon(':angry:')
smilie

Is this guy serious?

Yeah, so I've tried putting a CD in both of my drives and pressing F, and it's still not working. Any other ideas?

Always. :bleh:

If you've installed the game ok, and have done all necessary dosbox things, if this game needs dosbox (I use 98se) I can't understand why the usual procedures aren't working for you. I've taken the game off my hard drive to conserve space, but I think you have to execute the file called 'main.exe' to get the game to run not the other exe files. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Memory's not great.

1. Get Dosbox
2. go to Profile Setup Wizard, make a profile for Malcom's Revenge
3. when you get to the mounting part, click on auto-create, then click on add
4. in this window, set mount type to CD-ROM, then set the path to your Malcom's Revenge folder

click OK

then run the game! :Tom:

oh yeah, and i have a question, there seems to be no sound nor music :wall: did the came come with no sound, or is it missing?

Probably a stupid question, but, did you set the sound with the install program? Also do you play the game in DosBox?
Because I doubt that under Windows XP or Windows 98 without special compatibility drivers for old Soundblaster cards-compatibility there would be sound in Dos-mode at all.

Yeah, im using Dosbox and have the sound set right, dont know whats wrong :huh:

Forgot to say,on dosbox, i have the type set to sb16 (I'm using the D-Fend frontend)

Then you should try it without D-Fend. And try to set the sound to Soundblaster Pro or plain Soundblaster (2.0 eventually). ;)

OK, this may sound dumb (im new to dosbox :unsure: ),but whats the type name for just soundblaster? (e.g sbpro1,sbpro2,etc)

Simply Soundblaster or Sounblaster original or Soundblaster 2.0.

I can remember playing Kyrandia years ago. I would LOVE to get it working again. I am able to play the game without Voices or Music(what is the fun tho) I have tryed every setting under the sun for the game and DOS BOX. Can anyone tell me if they actually got the music, and voices working? If so, what setting did you select in the setup program dos or windows and which sound driver? Additionally, what sound card are you emulating in dos box?


[sblaster]
# type -- Type of sblaster to emulate:none,sb1,sb2,sbpro1,sbpro2,sb16.
# base,irq,dma,hdma -- The IO/IRQ/DMA/High DMA address of the soundblaster.
# mixer -- Allow the soundblaster mixer to modify the dosbox mixer.
# oplmode -- Type of OPL emulation: auto,cms,opl2,dualopl2,opl3.
# On auto the mode is determined by sblaster type.
# oplrate -- Sample rate of OPL music emulation.

type=sbpro1
base=220
irq=7
dma=1
hdma=5
mixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplrate=22050

hmm, i kind of have the same you have Basil. All except that the type is sb16

[sblaster]
type=sb16
base=220
irq=7
dma=1
hdma=5
mixer=false
oplmode=auto
oplrate=22050

I tried all the modes (sb16, sbpro2, sbpro1, sb2, and sb1) and it didnt work
:ph34r:

Drake...I am wondering something. I have noticed that the tlk (i think) files that came with the game are empty. I expected that they would have the data for the speech. Hmmm I wonder if the Zip is missing things???? Do you have digitized speech?

Sorry to come in on this discussion so late. I missed the previous posts. The simple answer to is there music and digitized speech is no. This version of Malcolm's Revenge is a CD rip to conserve space. The only sounds available are the EFX. Sorry, folks.

ahh i see thats ok. no wonder the download size of discworld(on underdogs) was big. cause it had speech included! :D

But didn't the speech add a lot to the game? I thought that the dialogue was one of the best parts of the game!

Oh, and shouldn't Abandonia add Discworld 1 and 2 to its collection?

We would, but these games are still sold, or at least not abandoned yet. ;)

I'm going to feel stupid for asking this, but how do I get to the Profile Setup Wizard?

Again I pose the question, how do I get to the profile setup wizard so I can get this game to finally work? :blink:

Do you mean the game controls? Just hold your curser over the bottom of the left hand side and the options icon will appear for your to click on. There aren't any profile wizards. The only things you can change are the speed, audio, text subtitles, add studio audience (laugh track) and the language.

EDIT:

Sorry misread your question. There is a file in the Kyrandia folder called 'setup.exe' which will enable you to change sound card and other options.

That was actually still not what I meant, but I was able to get it to work (I had to mount my cd rom drive) I have another problem now though. After I get out of Hell and go to dig my way to the surface it says "error" something with one of the packets on the cd rom or something like that. Any suggestions? :wall:

You're using dosbox, I see. I don't use dosbox as I have Windows 98. I played the game right through and didn't have the problem you had. It must be a dosbox issue, I assume. I know nothing about this program, unfortunately.
Are you using the latest version? Apparently a new version has been recently released that has eliminated some of the bugs of the earlier ones.

If you are already using the latest, I hope someone with dosbox can offer some assistance. Data is our resident expert on dosbox. Perhaps you could pm him?

i also keep getting error trying to dig to surface from the underworld using dosbox .63
The error says can't find xpath.pak file

John Swanson

John, this file might have become damaged in the zipping process. Could you pm me with you email address and I'll send you the one I have. It if works, I'll update the game archive :)

HI Romulus and Wendymaree

You might want to update this archive all the X___.pak files are missing.
I also found this game after google searching on the-underdogs.org the size is
28,188 KB with all the X___.pak files included.

But if you want to download this game from this site you better have a winrar program.

Merci Beaucoup...worked like a charm

Not a bad idea about updating that zip file

Wendy's working on it. :bye:

I finally solved this game. Is there a point list anywhere for this game.
Because there are 6 different ways to leave Kyrandia and i would like to know which way is the most and least points scored.

John

Hi, I experienced the same thing when I played this game. It asked for xpath.pak and that file is not found in the archive.

If you'd like to pm me with your email address, I'll send you out the xpak files. In the meantime, I've uploaded another archive to the server and I'm just waiting to hear that it's been transferred over to the download spot.

:wall:

I cannot for the life of me get this game to work?! I need help. I'm using Dosbox .63 and it keeps asking for the CD ROM. I tried mounting my CD Rom Drive but it's not working still. Please help me. Thank you.

I use a different OS, but to get rid of the CD Rom nag, I found that if I either inserted any CD rom into the drive or hit the F key that the game would then start.

New archive has been made available. Just download it again. :bye:

@staff: why did you only vote the game with 4?

I rated the game a 4 because I thought the first game in the series was a better one, and that one should be a 5. In comparison, this game, which I still think is really great, is a 4. Just IMHO. Although most of the community seem to agree. This isn't Brett Sperry, is it? ;)

Just my two cents, but I didn't like the first title very much--except graphically. I remember the random solution puzzles; and when I neutrally quizzed one of the development team members about it (while the Project Leader was on the phone), he blurted out angrily, "It's random because that's the way life is!" :blink: The PL thanked him, told him to leave, and conducted a much friendlier conversation after that. In fact, the PL called me later after the review was published to say that he agreed completely with my conclusions--and that the reason some of the attempts at humor were so blunt was that he was brought in late. Heh! But he promised better in the second title, and I think (and I know others disagree) he was right. The other titles in the series had graphics that were still better (I will never forget the giant foot being chased around the tree), and very fine dialog.

In any case, kudos for having those titles here. They deserve to be remembered. IMO, Kyrandia was the only series that provided a true challenge to the hegemony of Lucasarts and Sierra in adventure games.

@ PicassoSinatra
I had the same problem. Have you tried to use the cdemu2.com file?
just type "cdemu2 [any drive letter]:" and it should work then by starting the "main" file. I made a file called Kyrandia.bat with
"cdemu2 i:
main"
in it.

Hope to helped you! :cheers:

hello, guys.
does anybody know where it is possible to find videos for this game?
thanks

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

ok, dosbox keeps saying "A CD-ROM device driver is required to run Legend of Kyrandia 3: Malcom's Revenge"

please help me...

Ahh, well, Kyrandia - the first game in the series - was the first computer game I ever played and has remained my favourite game of all time. It had everything: mesmerising plot which unravelled brilliantly in the course of the game, captivating storyline set on a fantastic island, awesome and innovative music, fascinating characters, (adored Brandon) and the gameplay was really fun and I loved the puzzles as within the reality of the game they all seemed logical, and of course the graphics are legendary. I use to dream about playing the game, only in my dreams it was called Rapture. I'd love to live on Kyrandia. But the characters in the two later games seemed rough, not heroic. Anti-heroes are ok, but they've got to have some compensating qualities, which Malcolm didn't seem to have, and the female mystic...who's name I can't remember, was ok, but not nearly as noble and interesting to me as Brandon.

Your story is a fascinating one. Thanks for sharing that. :) But I'll always think the first Kyrandia had the most magic and charm, probably because that's where my head and heart are at. It's a personal thing.

You can try putting any CD rom into your CD drive. And, also, I think if you hit the 'F' key this also gets rid of the nag screen. Look through the previous posts in this thread as a few people have complained of having problems with this and they were eventually sorted out, I think.

tried that...didn't work

^^^^

that was me :bye:

No good, aniero? Dash and darn. Do you have XP? Is your CD drive working normally? I'll look back over the thread and see if I can see something to help. In the meantime, if someone can suggest a possible answer, please do.

Aniero, are you executing 'main.exe' This is the only exe that will start the game. I read the following in a previous discussion with someone who was also having problems with CD drive messages:

1. Get Dosbox
2. go to Profile Setup Wizard, make a profile for Malcom's Revenge
3. when you get to the mounting part, click on auto-create, then click on add
4. in this window, set mount type to CD-ROM, then set the path to your Malcom's Revenge folder

click OK

then run the game

yes, Im useing XP and yes my CD-ROM is acting normally. I have DosBox but what is this Profile Setup Wizard?

Never used dosbox. But I think you had to run a setup.exe type program to set the options for soundcard, etc. Perhaps this is what he's referring to.

hey i have a question for everyone. what is dos box?

and when i run kyrandia 3, i get this message:


Insufficient EMS or XMS memory available.
2.5 megabytes of EMS or XMS are required to run.

... and i have no idea what do. i'm using windows XP. and suggestions would be much appreciated :)

is this the full vers...

your computer is to fast

your computer is to fast and thinks it is to slow
it happens with all old games on new computers

To allocate more extended memory make sure you have the program unzipped, and in its own seperate folder. Right click on the launch file click properties, select memory, and change both the extended memory amount things to auto. The game runs fine when you do that.

I have experienced the same problem as others in here concerning the message:
"you need a CD rom drive to play this game"
For me pressing "f" or having a CD in my drive didnt do anything.
So I've tried to follow some of the instructions in here.. but...

I still can't get it to work! :wall:

I have the original game. I can install it and play it - without sound because the game doesnt recognize my soundsystem. So I figured if i try it throug the dosbox -it could simulate the Soundblaster system and i could get sound...

I'm no Dosbox wizard and I'm not sure I understand fully how it works - hope thats not required!!
But I have the game installed on my hard drive d:. When I open dosbox and try to run main.exe from my d-drive. The missing CD rom drive message pops up and I go nowhere.
Then I've tried to run setup (by dragging setup.exe onto dosbox.exe) but it stops after detecting sound - again nowhere.

In dosbox I've tried to mount drive c as my CD-rom drive, which is e:
Then I've mounted drive d as my d-drive - where the game is installed.
Now I can roam around in the game's directory (both e: and d:) and I've tried to install it again from there. This worked fine in the beginning - but when it comes to "detecting video system" it can't accsess (?) benchmark files and the install/setup stops.
When I type "main.exe" from "within" dosbox it says: setup needs to run first (or something like that) - but i cant complete setup!!!

I know this is an long. long explanation, but this is the only way I can do it..
hope anyone understands what I have done, and would like to do!!

Any help is welcome!

Thanks

That suggestion seems to work: Change the Main.EXE memory properties all to auto! What remains for me to solve is when I run Setup.EXE, and wish to have sound, I get the error :"Cannot find HDETECT.PIF". Where do I get HDETECT.PIF from? (Only the .EXE is present)

I guess somehow the HDETECT.PIF file was created, so I don't have this problem. But now I am just unable to play sound effects. After selecting some sound card from setup, when I run MAIN.EXE, it gives the error (but still runs the game): "Cannot find sound card specified". So there's no sound FX in the game.

Go to your Legend Of Krandia 3 folder and right click on the setup - properties- compatibility put Windows 95 for that..... click on the Setup and use "tab" and click "no digital sound" save it. Now right click on the Main.exe -properties - Memory - where it says EMS choose 16384 do the same for XMS and then run the game clicking on MAIN.exe.

HDETECT.PIF is already in the folder . I think the .INI needs to be changed.

Just change the EMS memory in the HDETECT.PIF and HVERIFY to make that error go away. I still haven't gotten sound to work doing that though.

For sound issues, use VDMSound before trying DOSBox. VDMS uses much less system resources and requires far less configuration.

I'm having some issues with the setup. I'm using DOSBox, and I extracted the folder as is the the same place that I put all my DOS games. When I run the "setup" it gives me a blank screen. When I hit enter it then pops me out of the black screen and back to the c:\ prompt giving me the error "Could not find gadget shapes."

Currently Running:
WindowsXP SP2
Sound Blaster Pro
DOSBox

The game should be working nicely without DOSBox. I played it with WinXP without SP2 back then.

i'm so frusterated. I have the original cd of this game and i cant get it to work. So i d/l your version and i still can't get it to work. I have no clue what to do :(

There are many reasons why it won't work on your system. Firstly, could you tell us what OS you have? Have you tried Dosbox if you're using WinXP? Have you configured the config.sys and autoexec.bat if you're using 98 or DOS? The Kyrandia games are a tricky series to set up and run...memory wise. There must be about 640ks of conventional memory available, for example.

By the way just to let people know, for those who want the full CD version (speech, music, videos, etc) it is available from Home of the Underdogs now.
Just thought I should say as I know that several people have wanted this game with the seech. If I was wrong to post about getting games from HotU then I'm sorry and a MOD can remove the post.

I have the cd-version, which has all the voices,sounds,music etc...It also includes a helium speech-

I got the game to start okay and everything but my mouse won't work. I can see it and move it, and the bottom menu will pull up, but clicking has no effect. How do I fix this? I'm running on Windows XP.

I've gotten the game to run well. However, I am stuck at the waterfalls. I've gotten to the last waterfall (with the no flippers). If I remember correctly, you must enter the cave in order to proceed to the fish kingdom. However, b/c this version does not have the videos, I keep entering the cave, and and then keep reappearing outside the cave. Any suggestions on how to get to the fish kingdom?

Hey... I downloaded a full-cd version of this game from underdogs (with all the frilly movies and speech... about a hundred and something megs), but i can´t get no sound under windows xp... if any of you guys can help me...

It's same for me :cry: it's says i have 2 low memory.. on my 512 ram computer.

plz can someone tell how to do ? I love this serie and i MUST play this too.. plzzzzzzzz help me

So I can mount everything just fine using D-Fend, and I can actually run setup this way, but when setup is "About to benchmark video system," I get a message saying "unable to access benchmark files."

Anyone else out there run into this problem?

YES ME AGAIN :bye: i have that trouble to. And the trouble i just wrote 1 comment up.

:blink:
I have an older system, Windows 98 SE so I don't have the
problems more modern systems have with this game, there
may be suggestions in the earlier posts here, or on Source
Forge, which sometimes has good technical info.
:blink:

I have tryed with win 98 to but i still don't work.

:bye: :yawn:
Hi,
Sorry I have not had a chance to see about the problems you
mention with Kyrandia III, I have played the game but not
the full version that is now up on the site, just more limited
versions, and my old Windows 98 SE was fine with it, but it
did not have the sound files and all that to challenge it, I was
hoping to try it out today but have not had the time yet,
I will try over the weekend if I can. Don't despair, some of the
masters of the site may chime in, hopefully. :kosta: :ok: :ok:
It is great that the admins have given us all the files on this
one, even though I don't like Malcom as much as Zanthia
or the Prince in the earlier games. They did go way out there
with the imagery in this game and the various tests, and
puzzles and labirynths are great. There is even a part of the game
where you come back to the same place but it is a differnt time
of day, that is really unusual for early games.
hopefully more soon.
:ok:

ok. Are you from sweden ?

:bye:
Hi, no I am in USA, some of my family were from the Baltic
in area once Sweden, but I am on the far side of the big
water. I do think Sweden is one of the most wonderful
countries around though. Thanks
:cheers:

Hi Folks! i've just tried your version of Kyrandia 3 from your site, which works pretty well under linux 2.6.12-rc2 with BOTH dosbox-0.63 AND dosbox cvs. i use dosboxfe as configuration/profiling interface. :help: however, things work 2 good a bit: the (spoken) text of the characters are going over far too fast! i just see a text for around 2 or 3 frames and then it's gone wich leaves the game pretty unplayable and the text unreadable! i've played around with several options including speed reduction through less cpu utilization, reducing the amount of cpu cycles etc... but all with no luck! i'm playing kyrandia 1 and 2 absolutely perfectly, with no problems at all (fast, stable, flawless), but kyrandia 3 makes my head ache...

I'd like some help about this, i you folks know what to do...

thx...

Hmm... well, i think i was right - the trouble was caused by the missing speech files! Today i gave the version from underdogs a try (which was really pain in the behind to "install" under linux, requiring to emulate 2 different systems...) however, i did it and i went good! The speech sounds now play, the text is readable, the game playable. But not always, some times even this versions seems to stop playin any speech and then shows exactly the same symptoms. Anyways, this is no major issue, since this problem may be dealt with (simply restart dosbox and you'r fine) ... :blink:

I'm stuck!
please can someone let me know how to get some light into the cavern on the isle of cats? It's in the dog fort in a log (The hole on the right hand side of the scrren).
I have all of the collosus gems and have the leather mouse-I know what to do with them. What I don't know is the order in which to place the stones in the giant cats. I know you find this sequence out down in this hole (That Malcolm decides to fall to his bloody and horrible death down every time!)

Please help me as I'm going mental trying to work it out and I know it's gonna be so simple! :help:

you need to go right twice from the fort of the dogs - there you need to cut all the plants on the right border of this screen. you will unleash a hole in the ground there. From there on you will have light down there.
later on you will need the magic mouse to get the stuff down there fully enlighted.

:bye: :blink: :blink: :tomato: :ranting: :Titan:

:crazy: my least favorite part of this game, which is my number
three choice of the three kyrandias (dare we hope someday
for a fourth??) :bye: is the jungle, what a frustrating time
it can be, as everything appears to be backwards, I suspect that
the algorythmn the designers used actually when you exit one side
of the screen, in the jungle, you appear at the opposite side of the next
screen, i have not figured it out totally yet, i got all the way
through and even had the special item to allow you to visit the
pirate ship and then got killed and had not saved soon enough in the
game NUTS so now i have to go back all the way and do it all
over again........ah well, but the one neat thing about Kyrandia III
is the change in time of day, you start out ini daylight on Kyrandia
proper, and then when Malcom gets back, it is NIGHT, very cool

ta ta,

:ok:

Do you need help with this game? I can show u hole the guide here.

General tips:

As soon as you've watched the intro and the talking is over, save
your game and explore your surroundings before you start playing in
earnest. Draw a simple map made up of squares connected by lines,
you are going to need it till you can find your way around
blindfolded.

Remember that it's not enough to wave the cursor around, you have to
click on EVERYTHING in order to find items.

This is one of those games in which it would appear there is more
than one solution to the same problem and, more often than not, no
solution at all. For instance, if you embark on a particular path,
although the alternative possibilities continue present to confuse
you, they won't actually work. There are also plenty of red
herrings. Add to all that that you can go about what you need to
do in each section in almost any order you like, and you will begin
to see how difficult this game really is.

I should mention that every time you play things turn out slightly
different, so don't be alarmed if events don't unfold exactly as I
detail them - try something else, and please don't blame me!

As soon as you get the Jester Staff, do not neglect to use it on
everyone you meet. And I mean EVERYONE!

The Moodometer is very important and I'll tell you when it is
vital to lie or to be nice or normal. You can ordinarily leave it
at normal.

Save before you attempt anything important, I'll try to remind you
at crucial moments.

I am giving you the bare minimum here to help you solve the game.
This is only a rough guide. Do examine and try other things. The
easiest thing will be to tell you what can be done at each location
and let you do it your own way. Read the first section (KYRANDIA)
through before you start, then decide how you want to go about it.


KYRANDIA

The Dump

Rummage around the rubbish dump and get a shoe, a straight nail, a
broken flask and some whole flasks. You can come back here any time
and get some more of those (save the shoe, there is only one). By
the way, if you find an orange peel, use it on Malcolm for extra
points.

The Castle Gate

You could be dragged here at some point and taken to Prison, and
you'll return here afterwards. You can carry on from there. When
you get the scissors, cut both pennants for extra points. If you
don't get the scissors, a broken flask will do just as well.

The Prison

This sequence only appears to take place if you waste too much time
messing around. Follow the instructions precisely. The good thing
is that you get to keep the scissors; so towards the end, put them
in your inventory and don't leave them on the floor. However, as I
explain above, you don't really need them.

The Bluff

You can enter the machine at any time, which takes you to the Town
Center. Do so at least once to get the extra points.

Out of Town

You are after the mime's outfit. In order to get it, you have to
place an eel in the mime's hood; hang about till he turns around.
If he does not, the time is not yet - so go elsewhere. When you
succeed, he will go into the Baths. To follow him you need to have
tied the nut-on-a-string to a hooked nail and use that on the coin
box.

The Baths

Make sure the moodometer is at lying before you go in. Once inside,
you talk to the guy. Then stand by the big wheel and move the arrow
to scalding hot or freezing cold. Everyone will rush off and you
will be able to get the outfit you can see in the window.

The Town Arena

Click on the frog to move it aside. It is a good source of water,
if you need it - you can also get the odd eel simply by clicking at
its mouth. Note the footprints at the entrance.

City Limits

Pick up a couple of logs here.

Cow Shed

You need several flasks full of water. You combine the seeds with
the water and get a seedling. You put that in the hopper five
times in all, so that the arrow is pointing at the red number.
Watch what happens. Puncture the milk container with a straight
nail to get some cream with a flask. You can also speed up the
process by combining the seeds with an eel and adding water; in this
case, you only need to fill the hopper twice - but then, you need to
go fishing for eels.

Town Center

There are several locations here, and I'll tackle them one by one.

The Toy Factory

Open the padlock with a straight nail. Once inside, go through the
other door to Malcolm's pad. Here, look in the drawers and get the
nut-and-string and the staff under the bed. Don't be too hasty in
combining the nut with a bent nail to get the fishing tackle - read
on. Oh, and you can look through the family album, if you like.

Go out to the factory and click on the large book. You will see the
shadow of a toy. Put a log in the funnel of the machine and press
the green button. You get a toy soldier. Now manipulate the two
antennae-like appendages on the machine and click on the book
again. A different shadow of a toy will appear. If it is that of a
ball, put the shoe in the funnel and press the green button. You
get a ball. Go through the routine again with the antennae and
book; you can get a toy horse by putting a log in the funnel and
pressing the green key. You should end up with three toys.

The Cellar

Go down the hole into the cellar. Fill all your flasks with water.
(Later on, when you have a disguise, you can stand on the carpet by
clicking on one of the apples drawn on it, then clicking on the
other - see under Darm's.)

Note the bricked wall. When you are given the right information (on
the other hand, why wait?), you can combine sesame seeds with an eel
to get fertilized seeds (you can fish for eels in the sewer), put
them amongst the bricks, fill a flask with water and use that on the
seeds. This busts the bricks and you can go in. If you click on
the shell and use an empty flask on it you get a portal potion which
you can use in the Arena. This is a great shortcut which takes you
to the Isle of the Cats straight away, although you miss out on the
fun of the longer solution to this particular problem. Since you
can only use the portal potion once, leave the shell alone if you
don't want it; but you get extra points for busting the hole open.

From the cellar you can go up the stairs to the Town Hall, more
further on.

Darm's

You arrive here on the magic carpet from the cellar and leave the
same way. If you were to attempt a visit without a disguise, you'll
be recognized and you'll leave quite promptly. Once you get the
disguise, you can visit Darm and he will ask for a fishcream
sandwich. Give it to him and talk both to him and to the dragon.
You can use all your items on them to see if they give you any
useful info on them. Finally, use the staff on Darm repeatedly till
he leaves the room and then speak to the dragon - he will give you a
clue pointing to the bricked-up wall in the cellar.

Town Hall

You have to give the statue a sandwich in order to speak to it.
Once you've spoken, try your items on it and see if you can get any
clues.

The Fishcream Parlour

When you enter the place it's chock-a-block full of people and
Malcolm expresses the desire to make everyone go. To get stampede
points, get some seeds, the nut-and-string and go to the dump.
Place the seeds on the log on which the squirrel is standing (near
you) and use the nut on it to hypnotise it. Now you can pick it up
and go to the Parlour. Come to the front and put the squirrel on
the floor. Use the nut on the squirrel and watch. When everybody
is out and you leave, the parlour will be closed and bolted. If you
had trouble getting hold of sandwiches (and you need three), you
could always come armed with three (or whatever number) lots of
seeds, fish and cream and make the sandwiches when everyone leaves
and before you go out.

The Magician Lodge

You can only enter here if you are wearing the mime's outfit. Lie
when you talk to Zanthia. You can pull the alarm which will empty
the parlour - unfortunately, it is then also locked up.

The Strange Boy

He pops up all over, but he is mostly to be found in City Limits.
Be nice. You must offer him three toys and get try to get three
sandwiches in exchange. He will accept the toys at random, so
you'll have to try different ones on him. Sometimes he will take
two the same. I got lucky and had no trouble. At any rate, you
must get the sandwiches somehow. If he will not trade for all
three, then you have to get the Fishcream Parlour sorted.

The Crossroads

Use the scissors or broken glass to get a flower.

The Graveyard

Get another flower. Change to nice. Use the flowers on the grave
to speak to the ghost.

Pegasus Landing

Be nice. Talk to Zanthia and she will give you a clue.

The Dock

You can go to the point and use the string and hook contraption to
get eels. Later, and dressed up as the mime and carrying a
sandwich, you can talk to the dog and he will let you in the ship.
Try pricking him with something sharp, like a straight nail, to get
extra points.

So, there you have it. The main thing here, as you will have
gathered from all this, is either to get the portal potion or to get
the mime's outfit and to be left with one sandwich so that you can
get on the boat and sail to...


THE ISLE OF CATS

You will land in style. There is an altar here. If you were to go
left, you would see some statues. Be nice and talk both to the cat
and the dog. Don't attempt to wander into the jungle. Click on the
cart to get a lift.

The cart will take you to the three locations available, at random;
so that if you turn up at the Pirates, talk to them all but get back
on the cart.

In the Dog Fort you will find a machete, which is vital. Now
you can go into the jungle, but it is a very tiresome business,
since you have to hack the vegetation and kill any snakes you find
before you can proceed anywhere. The jungle wraps around on you, so
you might go around in circles forever. Which reminds me, jump into
puddles wherever you see them, otherwise you die eaten up by fleas.
If you forget and are at death's point, you can always get rid of
the fleas by clicking on the character and discarding them.

Right, to save a lot of wear and tear, from the Dog Fort go left,
left, left and up, collecting all the bones you find along the
way. Make sure you lie when you talk to Fluffy. Now go left, up
and up, again, collecting bones. (I found these directions varied
when I played the game again - so don't take me too seriously.)

Talk to the dog leaning on some rocks. Now, you can either give him
a bone, in which case he'll go off and bury it at random, or you can
place a bone where you want him to dig. Sometimes you get lucky and
get a gem. You must get six, so, when you run out of bones, go
right, clear the jungle, get more bones and go right again. Don't
forget to take the odd dip in the puddle. If you don't get any
bones, go right and this time try going left, clearing the jungle,
and then go up. Good luck to you.

Once you have the gems, go to Fluffy and show one to him. He will
give you a magic mouse. Go back to Dog Fort (from Fluffy, left,
up, up) and enter the ruins through the hole next to the dog. Go
right and use the mouse on each of the statues to see what each one
represents - make a note of it. Go out, change to nice and get on
the cart. You might go to the pirates (if you had not visited them
before, talk to them all) or to the altar; but you need to go to the
altar.

Use each gem on the altar to find out what they represent and make a
note of it. Go left and use the mouse on one of the balls. Now all
you have to do is to match the gems with the statues.

At the end you will get a crystal mouse. You will have to find your
own way to the pirates, since the cats are no longer pulling carts.
The directions in my case (it could be different in yours) were,
from the altar, right, left, left, up, right, left, righ, right.
Once you reach them, talk to the captain. When asked to perform
magic, use the mouse on the one-legged pirate. You are invited on
board and end up in Kyrandia, and from there you get sent to...


THE ENDS OF THE EARTH

This is a killer. Arm yourselves with patience and save your game.
You start with three coins. Buy insurance, the fins and the cleats
(press on the next button for that). Wear the cleats and you get a
shoehorn. Put it in the inventory. Press next the button for the
brolly and use the shoehorn on the machine. Remove the cleats by
clicking with the shoehorn on Malcolm.

Click twice on the first barrel to go down in it. Climb up using
the cleats (click up to the left of the screen). Swing across with
the brolly (click with it on the hook). Move to the extreme left
and use the brolly. Go into the cave. Again, move to the left and
use the brolly. Go into the cave. Remove the brolly by using the
cover on Malcolm. Put the fins on (click them on Malcolm) and use
the bungee string to get across (click it on the nearest hoop).
From this ledge you can climb up with the cleats or swim up, then
climb again, swing across with the brolly and swim up. Go into the
cave. You might have reached your destination (it varies), but if
you haven't, as you come out you can do any old thing; you need to
die and end up at the top again.

This bit, as I said, might not be necessary - but just in case it
is, at the top, but the toy float and the brolly. Take the second
barrel. Wear the toy and inflate the flower fully. Still wearing
the toy, click on the flower to jump across. Enter the cave. You
will see that the pictures have changed. Out, jump with the toy.
Swing across with the brolly and jump down again to the next cave.
Whichever cave is the one that changes, you will find yourself in...


LIMBO

At the Fish Court, you find out you are a slave to the queen by
virtue of a collar you wear around your neck. You will be forced to
play Tic Tac Toe, now and at other inconvenient moments. Change to
lying and lose the game, which is tougher than winning it. Then
click on the queen and lie to her till she gives you leave to go.
(This you will have to do several times, so I won't repeat these
instructions). On this occasion, you will finish up outside.
Change to nice, go back in and talk to the merman in the background.

Out, pick up the key, exit top left, use the staff on the fish to
the left and when the perch turns to the side, swipe his apple. You
will probably be interrupted here, but I'll ignore the interruptions
(you know what to do) and press on. From the university, go left
and watch. Talk to the fish by the gate (nice). Pick up the fondue
set. Get in the water course and pull the lever. You should finish
up in the dump. You can pick up two objects each time you land here
before the old bat tells you to get down. Talk to him.

Lie and say you are the tax collector and you'll get two coins.
Although you'll find it convenient to keep one of each of the
objects you find, give anything extra to the bat: a worm will gain
you a coin (feel free to sell it), three objects the same, another
coin. The object of the exercise is to get at least six coins as
soon as possible. Talk to the bat in all three moods to get some
useful information. Go on as many rides in the chute as necessary
to collect sufficient coins.

As soon as you have the money, go to the cannon and give five coins
to the fish. You will be shot to hell, literally. Change to nice
and speak to the guy on the line. Speak to the woman (normal or
lying) at the table and you will be told how to hold a Royal
Seance. Now you'll be pulled back to play tic-tac-toe. As soon as
you are free, take another ride on the chute and you should get a
newspaper from the dump. So long as you have a coin and a
newspaper, that's all you need. Use both on Malcolm.

Change to normal and go to the queen. Speak to her and you will be
challenged to another game. As soon as there are seven "pieces" on
the board, drop the newspaper and use the coin on it. The ghost
comes and you are free. Leave and go to the cannon again. Still at
"normal", speak to the fish and he will let you go for another
coin.

In hell, change to nice and speak to the guy to get ahead of him in
the queue. Watch what happens. You should get through to the
underworld. Talk to people as they come, but soon you will be sent
to the Boondocks. Use the machine and you will find yourself...

BACK IN KYRANDIA

At this point you are requested to choose between your better half
and your worst half. It's up to you, but I chose the good guy. I
don't know if it makes any difference.

The first thing you must do is go to the Castle, where you'll get
nabbed and asked to produce the six jewels of the Isle of Cats.
Talk to everyone there.

Visit the dump, if you like, and see if you can pick up anything
useful - you will certainly need a nail, a log, a whole flask and,
later, a broken one.

Again, you can do a variety of things. Go to the old Baths and you
will see that it is now a Pawn Broker. He will sell you seeds for
the items he asks - if you don't have that particular item, leave
and enter once more, and try again. The easiest one is flasks,
since you can pick up an endless supply from the dump.

Go to Malcolm's pad and find the portrait under the bed. (This next
bit is not necessary at the moment, or maybe never. It certainly
didn't get me anywhere, but it's up to you.) Go to the cellar and
travel to Darm's. If you speak to the guys, the dragon asks for a
squirrel. I tried that and it didn't work for some reason. I think
the only reason they are there is to supply you the Portal Potion
and, once you have found it, there is no need to come back.

Go up the stairs and have a look around and talk to the statue. You
can try using the items you are carrying on it, to find out whether
they are any use. Go back to the cellar. You can leave by clicking
on the pipe hole to the right of the door.

At the factory, use the log to make a toy horse. Leave the factory
and peek through the window of the Magician's Lodge. Use a nail on
the door and go in. Use a nail on the lock to free the three
"mice". Go back to the cellar and up the stairs and you'll find the
magician at work. Talk to her and then put the horse in the
cauldron she is stirring. Wait till it goes brown and use an empty
flask on it. Leave through the door and then through the pipe.

Find your way to the Pegasus Landing and use the potion. You finish
up in the inlet in which you met the pirates. Pick up the machete
and go left, left, left, right (Old Dog Fort), left, left, left, up
(Fluffy), collecting bones as you go. You'll need ten so give him
what you have and, if you don't have enough, go left, left and up.
He will give you a cheese-making machine. Go right and you'll be at
the altar. Go left, use the cheese-making machine on Malcolm and
pick up the cheese. Use it on the mouse statue and pick up all the
gems. Go back to Fluffy and he will give you a can. Use it on
yourself for an experience in a lifetime.

Now you've hit town again, you ought to know the items you were
carrying are to be found at the landing. No matter, right now go to
the dump where you'll find your two most precious items - the
portrait and the collar. Pick them up or, if you have no room, just
the collar. Go into the castle and talk to pegleg. Give him a
jewel and JC will come down. Hand JC the collar and watch. Well,
that got rid of them. Go to the dump to pick up a broken flask and
whatever else is left there.

Back at the castle you will see the two mice at the gate. Make some
cheese and give it to Brandon. Watch.

Cut two flowers with the broken glass. Go to the grave and summon
the ghost. Go to the Fishcream Parlour and make some cheese to give
to the Fishjerk. Talk to him. Leave and visit the Pawn Broker with
your jewels and buy some goods for fun. Try buying the dagger and
picking it up and see what happens. Save beforehand, just in case.

Go back to the Parlour. In your absence, the Fishjerk will have
mended the machine. He will ask for the ingredients needed to get
the whole thing going (seeds, cream and eels). You know how to get
them, so go ahead. Once you've put them in the funnel, you get a
sandwich. Go out.

Visit the pirate ship at the dock and click around for some fun.

Go back to the Parlour and ask the Fishjerk to get everyone to the
Town Hall. No dice.

Now go to the Old Town Hall and to the statue. Click on it till it
asks you about the ingredients for the seance. Pick up the crumpled
portrait and click it on the magic cabinet to the left. You get to
see a brief preview. Click again on the statue and it will ask you
for the ingredients to get the Kyrandians together. Give him the
sandwich. He will congratulate you and decide to go over to the
Parlour. Make with the portrait and the cabinet again and simply
sit back and watch.

I hope i was to help :ok:

same problem here...when I try to run the game anyway I appear to be missing the player.ini file

Hello !
WOW ! I'm impressed by this thread ! Not because of it's size, but because people are still playing this game for all these years ! There's years between the first and the last post !

Anyway, I wanted to say about this game that I have bought the original CD (it was a white label edition) many years ago, which once worked on my win 98 computer. Now, after trying everything, I can't get the sound working properly with XP. It stutters terribly. VDMSound couldn't help me :hairpull:

So what I'm going to do now, which is my advice to everyone, is getting my old computer (a P150) out of the dust and install W98 on it.

I swear, people, do the same. It will save you a lot of headaches ;)
The only drawback is that I will have to replace the connection to the monitor and the speakers every time I want to play the game <_< :wacko: :blink: :not_ok: :crazy:

Great smilies on here btw :ok:

Yeah, but i can't get Kyrandia 3 to work :blink:

Hey guys I'm new to this stuff and I don't know maybe I missed something but I can't download the game... HELP!

Sorry, Ori, but we had to remove the download a few months ago because we lost permission to host it.

So how can I get this game?

Hi Ori :bye:

Have you tried eBay?

Well the easiest way would be to install the DOSBox. It's easy to get it and install it, and if you still remember the old MS-DOS it's no problem to use, otherwise it takes about half an hour to lear :ok:

Can it be run in DOSBox, then? I think it didn't work for me when I tried it, but I might be wrong...

same problem here...when I try to run the game anyway I appear to be missing the player.ini file [/b][/quote]
There seem to be some solutions for other problems in this thread, just not this one. Once again, I am having the same trouble, so I know I and some others would really love some input from others, if not a d/l-able player.ini file so that we can get the game working :)

Thanks for the help.

I think Legend of Kyrandia 2 was the best of the series. It had the best humour and the most fun puzzles, and there was nothing about the game that was done badly.

The first game had good points, it had perfect atmosphere, but as mentioned before, the random puzzles, aswell as some frustrating maze like puzzles, brought it down a notch. Still a beautiful game and definitely draws you into the world. The third game has one major problem: there are some extremely boring puzzles (like when you get captured and have to go to jail, and have to do manual labour to get out- woopee, thats what gaming is all about :blink:). and some puzzles were plain irritating. but most of the puzzles were very fun, and the nice/naughty meter was a great idea. spreading havoc and playing the role of malcolm was really fun, its a shame some puzzles were lackluster.

I think the second Kyrandia game was funniest.

I'd like to know if anybody here knows what to do with that 'unable to access benchmark files' problem? :help: thats very annoying!!! that player.ini file is essential for the game to work but it won't appear unless I succeed that damn video benchmark
:sniper: :cry:
thanks

have you tried mounting the cdrom with dosbox as letter d:?
(ex. mount d yourcd:\ -t cdrom)
works for me just fine...
:blink:

Hi there, it's me again. Thanks for the answer.

What I did to solve this is take an old computer from somewhere and install Windows 98 on it. It's not the easiest solution, but it works. I also have an old 15" monitor, now I only need a place to put it ;)

Yeah the jail bit was annoying - I think it was meant to be. Even back then, things like this were already getting slammed in reviews as unforgivable. Still, I loved Kyrandia 3. It has great music and voices, not to mention great graphics. Only downside is the stupid laughing audience, which you can luckily turn off.

Uuuu.... A great game, I remember I've had so much fun playing it :D
Great graphics and story, and i like the characters! Ofcoars, it's much better if you've played Legend Of Kyrandia 1&2 before. Defenetly a MUST for enyone who likes adventure genre :ok:

Not to mention that this site is above all about REMEMBERING good old dos games and talking about them.

Being able to download them is just a bonus. We try our best to add games that can be downloaded as well, but that can't always be the case. So try not to complain about what you can't have - there's so much more you can (and we don't wanna loose that).

why do they take down all these games that they can't even make a profit from anyways? If you want it you have to by it from some Canalis Analis who overprices used copies, not from the manufacturers, what is the ESAs problem? Are they just stupid or something, or do they get off to making sure no one has fun for free?

This has been discussed so many times, it makes no sense to discuss it once again, after all this isn't the topic about ESA, but about Legend of Kyrandia. so stop making useless remarks...

I can't get it to work on windows XP and VDMS just says a cd-rom device driver is required to run legend of kyrandia 3 HELP ME PLEASE :help: :wall:

How do I download it? :(

You CAN NOT.

Well, what can I say, probably the worst of the 3 games. The first two kyrandia games were amazing. They had humor, magic atmosphere, good puzzles and stuff like that.
The 3rd game sucks. I was bored with it. Too much unnessesary stuff. Puzzles are indeed boring. And, the atmosphere isn't just as it was in the first two games. Maybe, cuz the first two games lie deep in my childhood memory, cuz I did play the first 2 parts of the Kyrandia series in 93-94.

For people that cannot play the game, i think i found the correct way.

Step 1:
Download the VDMS program from Abondia Software.


Step 2:
Onces installed, you need to push the right button in the Kyrandia 3 directory on the MAIN.exe file and start the program
using VDMS:

- Here you need to select "Use Default configuration" & Remember my settings.

(it's now one of the windows options (just like copy, paste and stuff)
- You can Skip Step 3, it's not needed; but i'll put it here to explain how to fix
the cdrom problem.


Step 3:
- But when started it will give the CD-ROM Problem. Close the DOS window.

Step 4: Push the right button on the Main.Exe file (but now the new pictogram that
VDMS made) here go to properties (or in Dutch : Eigenschappen) (last option in the row)

Step 5: Here you need to select : Enable Low-Level CDROM Support


you have finished this steps, it should work in Windows XP (pack 1 & 2)


Also Pretty damn handy to know:

- If you start playing Malcoms Revenge, there will be some slight problem because
you will not be able to read the dialoges (they will turn up way to fast) because of the fact that this is a ripped version without music/voices.

You can fix this by putting the Voice slider to the most left side. It will automaticly put the text on and at a normal reading speed. Aslong as it keeps left you will be perfectly able to to play the game. (altough it's a damn shame that the movies and the voices are gone.)

I hope this little "Walktrough" was of help to any of you guys.
(By the way this method has worked for all dos games i played till now, so no need for dosbox.)

hey there! can anyone help me get this bloody game running!?!?!? i got it thru dos box to solve the memory problem, but now its looking for the cd, (which i kinda don't have)... what crack or patch can i use? help!

use this code line before you launch the game, it enables you to mount a CD-drive so it thinks there is a disk.

mount d d:\ -t cdrom

Why cant we get this in a cd-version as we did with Flash???

This game is so good and precious, that it has to be preserved in its best form (CD), so that it can be preserved by so many of us.
My old cd-version dosent work anymore (sunlight = bad)

I'm afraid that since we don't have the permission to host any version of this game, CD version is not a possibility.

sorry if its not the place to write this, but i download the game from abandonia, and always i want to play, there is a message and it says its not work without cd (and i don't have one!).
what to do?
:sos:

How about checking the relevant review / game extras for information on things like that?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(the_fifth_horseman @ Jun 6 2006, 02:44 PM) [snapback]234790[/snapback]</div> :thanx: thank you very much!

umm... what is mean, only press f? use dosbox? or scummvm?

According to the compatibility info (yes - in the review), the game should be compatible with Win Xp.

I'm trying to run Kyrandia 3 in DOSbox .65 on Mac OSX. I've successfully mounted the directory as a CD (mount /users/me/etc -t cdrom) but when I try to run main.exe, I get the following:

Not enough disk space to run Malcolm's Revenge (need 100000 bytes)

It's got me stumped. Any help very appreciated.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Guest @ Jun 13 2006, 07:21 PM) [snapback]236532[/snapback]</div>Ah, my bad, I figured it out. You have to mount another directory from which to RUN the game after mounting the CD.

OK, I got the game to work now :ok: BUT, why doesn't the "Introduction" work ? <_<

CD-Rip, most likely. That means some portions of the game have been removed in order to reduce archive space.

Sorry for the stupid question... but how exactly do you mount another directory and stuff? Thx

[/b][/quote]

Sorry for the stupid question... but how exactly do you mount another directory and stuff? Thx
[/b][/quote]
Well, you can mount as many directories (or folders or whatever you want to call it) as drives as you want.
For exemple, if you extract the game files to a folder called "c:\games\kyrandia3CD" and want to mount it in DOSBox as a CD drive, you'll have to enter the command (at DOSBox command line):
and you can have the game installed at folder "c:\games\kyrandia3" and mount it as:
this way you will have two folders "emulated" as two drives (C: and D: , being the last one a CDRom drive)

(sorry if I can't explain it well enough, maybe you should try this section of the DOSbox tutorial)

I got a problem :( Think it's a missing file error or corrupt file. When I'm gonna leave Isle of Cats, just when Malcolm is gonna go onboard on the pirate ship, the game crashes and leaves the text: <28> IO error with PIRATELF.WSA <11> - exiting".

Help please :sos:

EDIT: Never mind, I just had to re-download the game, then it worked :)

Hey, everyone!

First of all I want to say that this is a really cool site!
I was so excited when I found these old Kyrandia games after such a long time...used to play them quiet a while ago on my old computer and felt nostalgic about them...
What I love about Legend of Kyrandia are the simple but beautiful graphics, the funny dialogues and the music - never seen anything alike!
It´s sad there are no such games anymore... Everything is just about action and graphics that make you feel dizzy. Well, maybe it´s just because I´m a girl :bleh:

Well, since I was so excited I played all three games and catching the enthusiasm I felt the need to create something useful to contribute here... I remember me going grazy on this Island of Cats so I made a map... tried at least... Hope it can help anyone with the same problem...

http://www.expressupload.de/index.ph...ULFee9eQLS.jpg

Yes, it looks messy, but try to do it any better, would ya? ^_^

It won't let me play. It says "not enough memory"

I have Windows XP.

How do I play it? I haven't played it in years and I miss it! *cries*

Do you use dos-box? If so: Configure it (read the FAQ), check the EMS, and see if that'll do the trick.

Hello I wanted to play this game but it appears that the dialogues go incredibly fast and I can't read a thing... Somebody had this problem in previous posts but he was on Linux and I'm on XP so I don't know how to solve this... Any idea? :kosta:

CPU Killer software that will throttle down your CPU's efficiency.

That, or DosBox.

I heard CPU killer can damage my computer... Is it true? And for DOSbox, I used it but the dialoques went fast too... Must I configure it and if yes, how? (Yeah, I'm a poor one of that kind that doesn't understand a thing when it's a matter of programms & Coe...) :blink:

Nope, not true.

If the dialogues go too fast in DosBox, decrease the number of cycles DosBox is running at.

Okay guys, here's what I did to get it to work. I then uninstalled it and reinstalled it to doublecheck. This should work on newer machines with windows xp.

Dled the cd version of the game and burned it to a cd just to make things easier. If you don't wanna do that just remember where you unzipped the game to as this will be your "cd"

Installed the game. When it starts asking you about your sound card click no and cancel out of that.

Open dosbox, create a new profile for your game. Make malcom.bat your game exe and setup your setup.exe

For mounting click auto once and then click add.

Change drive to cd-rom and click browse and choose the cd with the game or the folder you're using as your "cd"

Go through and finish the profile.

Right click the name and choose run setup. You should get past the infamous benchmarking problem. Once that exits out double click and it SHOULD be working.

Sorry if someone answered this already but that's how I got it to work.

Hello from germany

MALCOLM.BAT ????! Where? I don´t have it in my folder.....

Did you download the game from here?

This is one of my favorite games. Ive played it many times.
But there is something i never got.

On the back of the cover of the box, you see this:

http://www.mobygames.com/images/cove...1772285-00.jpg

That screenshot in the upper right corner, that i have never seen in the game.
Have any of you ever seen it/tried it????

I always thought it was a cancelled cinematics, that only was used in the BETA-version or something!
Any thoughts???

Also the screenshot in the lower left corner...... have anyone tried that?? Because i sure havent.

It can all be seen here:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/legend-o...venge/cover-art

hey this discussion been running for years but to end tht error message using xp simply right click on the main app goto properties then memory and give it some xms in the memory tab just click auto then it will run fine

There is a cutscene that was made for this game, that i never experienced in the game. I know they exist from the back of the game.

Look at it, i have underlined them:

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8...akulala3in.jpg

Do any of you know were in the game it is from? Was it from an altenate ending? Was it from the BETA-version? Was it from a secret place in the game?

'Please just give me just a little piece of info.
Because i have been wandering about this for years.

hey everyone

can somebody please tell me where i can find the eel??

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kitkat @ Feb 12 2007, 05:25 PM) [snapback]278949[/snapback]</div>Inside the toy factory there´s a hole. When you jump in, you get to the cellar. On the right side there´s a stream. To get the eel you have to build a fishing rod. Therefore use a nut on a string on a bent nail. Then, use the fishing rod on the stream.

thank you !!! :)

what do i have to do in the ruins? i always fall down and get killed! help please

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Guest @ Feb 16 2007, 08:10 PM) [snapback]279633[/snapback]</div>Hi, I´ve found this on the net:

"If you haven't done so yet visit the underground Cat Ruins and notice how dark it is. Return to the surface and pick up the machete.
Go right into the jungle. Clear all the vegetation you can with the machete.
You should have uncovered a hole in the lower right corner of the screen.
Return right to the Dog Fort. If you return to the Cat Ruins now you will be able to walk further inside but there is nothing else to do here, yet."

Quite interesting, me too, I always stumbled upon this. ^_^

If you have any further questions, you can read this walkthrough, I think it´s very helpful:

I've almost made this game run using dosbox and the advice of everyone here (thanks btw). But now it says that I'm missing the file malc_000.sav. Any ideas?

:sos: I've just downloaded LOK 3 and it runs just fine(OS WIN98se) but ti runs so fast i can't read the text when characters talk. Is there a fix for this?

Try to turn the speech voice meter in zero. That worked in Hand of Fate.

I've tried everything all of you discussed in the previous sections, and I still cannot get this game to work! I downloaded DosBox and followed the tutorial. I even installed VDMSound, but there are files missing from the download, so it doesn't want to work. I work on WinXP Sp 2. I keep getting the message "Not ready reading drive D". Please help! :sos:

Your problem description is insufficient for us to provide a proper answer.

Post a more detailed description of your problem including any and all error messages you encountered.

Also, describe where exactly did you unpack the games and what commands have you entered in DosBox (exact syntax, please; it's important).

If you have made any modifications to your DosBox.conf, please post a copy of its contents.

I decided to download the whole game (113Mb) from www.classic-pc-games.com. I installed the game by extracting the files and then it installed in a directory it created c:\Westwood. When I click on the Setup.exe file it asks whether it should detect possible sound drivers and I click OK. After a while it gives me a list and I choose Sound Blaster. Then it gives me the message "About to benchmark video system". It open VQSetup in DOS and then it either can't find benchmark files or nothing happens.

I think the only way any of you can help me is to take me step by step through the process of setting DOSBox up to play this game. Please I am begging!

You should run both the game AND its setup in DosBox. From what you're telling me, you tried to do that in Windows.

As for DosBox, read this.
I'm writing a newer guide, a copy of which may be found here. It may explain some things easier.

PS. Soundcard configuration in DosBox should be: Sound Blaster 16, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220h.

Hey. Just wanted to mention that I recently uploaded a full 569MB version of Kyrandia 3 (ISO, from my original cd) to TPB. (you who use bittorrent should know what that is, i won't give the url because i don't know if it's allowed)

It has movies, sounds, music, all of it. Cheers.

It's not, because of the very illegal nature of most content on there.

We have a different way of sharing ISOs with other users, called "ISO Cellar". You'll see it when you have 20 posts.

I have a different box to the one shown in Extras. :)
Should I scan & upload it, or is AB not interested in another box scan? :unsure:

Kyrandia 3 was my first adventure game with speech. I must say I never looked back after that. This game is simply hillarious and the many solution options provided through the first half of the game is still as of this day unmatched in the genre.

I randomly cast sentences from this game around me in my everyday life. It's just had such a huge impact on my life as a gamer and I recommend it to everyone. I still have my original package for Mac but no computer to play it on. Guess it's not the same without the voices so for now i'll skip it.

Please, no email adresses in the forums.

Hi all!

I'm trying to get this game started, with speech and everything. Downloaded the full cd version.

My computer runs in windows XP.

I have tried a few things.

Step one. Installed the game through windows. In the folder that was created I choose setup. Game asks me to configure sound. I do, and a window comes up that says checking sound hardware. And then it all seems to freeze up and I'm stuck with that window.

Step two. I try Dosbox. Wee, always hated these black screens.. But I know the basics. Created folders (mounted) and installed through it. This time around the menus are more graphical, promising. I can do a soundtest through here that works! But then it tries to access benchmark files (whatever that is, Tina seemed to have the same problem but I did not find a proper solution to the problem in this thread. Except for tips of running it on win 98 and stuff, that's not for me)

If anyone has a clue on how I can get it running I'm all ears!

Thanks

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Usmanov @ Jul 18 2007, 08:58 PM) [snapback]300079[/snapback]</div>Hey Usmanov. First of all, when it asks you "would you like us to detect possible sound drivers for your sound card?", choose no. Then a new window will appear where you can choose manually instead. I chose Sound Blaster.
Secondly, have you read my .nfo file? It explains that I haven't gotten this game to work by mounting it, you have to burn it to a CD-R. Otherwise the benchmark won't work, and the game won't start. (if you have already installed the game, uninstall it before installing it again from a cd)
It also explains how to get the game to work with sound in Windows XP. (so, no, i never used dosbox or anything like that, just XP)

Good luck.

Apparently someone was able to run it through VDMSound:
Someone else also used cdemu to get around the problem (I think you could achieve the same result by using DOSBox' mount command with -t cdrom switch).

I feel very close now. But still no luck.
I manually selected sound card, it took a few minutes but eventually gave me the go ahead.
Then It took me to benchmark thingy, it seemed to pass test. Was asked a question to run under windows or true dos. (I tried both)

But regardless of how I did I still got the same result when trying to run (through vdms or without it):

"SETUP.CFG or PLAYER.INI not found. Run SETUP.exe"

I have it on a seperate CD that I installed from. Sound blaster worked for me also. These files seem to not get created? Where is my miss?

Thanks for your patience :wallbash:

I've solved how to run Abandonia's version of the game. I think you could copy the sound and speech files from the CD version to this one - they should work with it right.

1. DO NOT CONFIGURE A SOUND CARD!!! Digital sound was ripped off and this would crash the game. You have to disable digital sound in the setup. (of course the CD version users can ignore that).
2. The setup works only under Windows.
3. After disabling sound, run DOSBox.
4. !start.bat is the file to run the game from, but if you tried it... you need MSCDEX.
5. DOSBox includes MSCDEX, but it won't be loaded unless you mount a CD drive of some sort.
6. Just mount any directory - anything, anywhere - as drive D and add a -t cdrom switch.
7. Since this made DOSBox load MSCDEX, just run !start.bat and enjoy the game.

Melcolms Revenge is one of my all time favourite adventure games. I own original copies of all 3 Kyrandia games & this is by far the best

Does anybody know how to save this game without using f5? I'm using dosbox on a mac laptop and it won't let me save so I'm having to restart over at the beginning!!!!! Or maybe how to access and menu without using the f buttons?
If you know you can leave the answer here or email me at [BEEEP]@aol.com


Thanks so much to anyone who can help!!!

God, I remember this. I played it about 5 years ago... It's great.

SOOO LOST... I have the cd from the game i bought like 10 years ago..installed it and now i have both VDSM and DOSbox and cant figure out how to use it...please help!

http://www.abandonia.com/games/289/Legendo...olmsRevenge.htm ;)

What exactly are you getting stuck at? Until I know what your specific problem is, I can only sugest you check A beginners guide to DOSBox. It answers many basic questions on the subject.
VDMSound is not recommended, unless your computer lacks suficient power to run DOSBox at a playable speed.

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

mount C C:\westwood
C:
C:\NC\NC.exe


This is where i get stuck..it says illegal command as soon as i start up dosbox... I am at part 1.4 of your guide to dosbox... I have all my malcomb stuff in the westwood folder which is the folder that was credited when i installed the game on cd...I also copied the NC.exe file into a new folder on my c drive named NC and put NC.exe in the folder...please help!

nevermind i messed with the directorys and got past that part..ill keep you updated

ok ive completly gotten through your guide! THANKS...BUT... it now says its unable to benchmark the files...what do i do !?! IM SO CLOSE

when exactly are you trying to do and what says "unable to benchmark the files"?

im running the main setup.exe through dosbox i followed his doxbox tutorial and get that far.. i see the malcomb graphics for the setup and the malcomb style cursor...i go through the sound blaster setup with sound and then i get to the benchmarking files part and it says unable to benchmark files press any key and takes me back to the commander

try just running !start.bat
dont forget to mount the directory (also) as a cdrom drive in dosbox with command "mount d [directory with the game] -t cdrom"

when i try and run malcomb.bat it says setup.cfd or player.ini not found try running setup.exe

i dont think ill ever get to play this game

there is no malcomb.bat :blink:
just try doing what i did. redownload the game, mount the game directory both as hard drive and cdrom drive, run !start.bat

no there is a malcomb bat

hey r.u.s.s. do you have AIM or anything like that so I could talk to you 1 on 1 quicker?

if you register i can pm you my instant messenger info. btw if you say there is no malcom bat maybe you have corrupted copy, did you get it from this site?

and i dont know why i would need to download it .. i have the cd of the actual game

Oh like that, i thought you got it from here. then please tell us exactly what you did and maybe we ll be able to help you

could anyone give me some step by step instructions..i deleted all of the malcomb stuff and plan to start over...do i just put the cd in and try and install the cd in dos box? i tried tha t but it says it cant create c:\westwood\malcomb.... i am never gonna get to play this game

well its difficult to give step by step instrcutions since we dont have the game.

try mounting a directory on your real drive by command
"mount c [patch to the directory] -freesize 700"
and cd rom drive
"mount d [patch to your cd rom drive] -t cdrom"
then go to the cdrom with command "D:" and install the game (i cant realy tell what are excutables in there since i dont have the cd)

i tried to register and im still waiting for my confirmation email.... my screen name is mario1235 on aim if you wanna IM me thatd be awesome! .. also when i try and download the version from the website it only gives me 3 small files...

3 small files? o_O are you sure you dont want to update your winzip
btw i will add you but now im quite busy so i will help you later on

can i just fly you over to america and do it for me??! LOL

Hello,

I've got a problem with running Kyrandia 3. I can start the game and play it, but there is no sound available and I can't watch the intro. If I select "Introduction" the screen fades and then the start screen is shown again.
Setup leads to an error and says that it can't find HVERIFY.PIF

I use DosBox 0.73 for playing Kyrandia.

Perhaps anybody knows how to solve this problem.

Regards,
Ingo

This copy is ripped. No intro, and I think no sound either.

Hi,

I just downloaded this and got it running fine on DosBox all except for 2 things...

I turned the text speech on as there is no sound and it is so quick I can't read it!
Also is there any way to maximise the window?

Kyrandia Problems On Dos Box
 

i run kyrandia on dos box and it says need disc driver or something like insert cd can anyone please help!!!!:confused:

"Or something like" is not a proper way to describe a software issue. To help you, we need the PRECISE text of the error message.

Sorry buddy, my precise problem is running this on dos box i mount it then when i try to enter the game it says "a cd-rom device driver is needed to run kyrandia 3..." i have read suggestions of pressing f or putting any cd in the drive but this have not worked. I also have set up a virtual drive with the kyrandia image with no avail. thanks if you can help:)

To circumvent this problem, you have to mount a CD-ROM drive in DOSBox.

It doesn't really matter whether that's your physical CD-ROM drive, a directory mounted with the -t cdrom argument or an ISO image mounted through IMGMOUNT - any of these will make DOSBox load it's CD-ROM drivers and thus allow the game to run.

mount d [YOUR CD DRIVE LETTER]:\ -t cdrom
Is the most practical, since it also lets you use your real CD-ROM drive in DOSBox. Or you can also use the CDEMU utility that is included with some of the downloadable versions of the game (including the one here, IIRC):
cdemu2 D:

If you like this game you should really get it on CD - the rip isn't anywhere near as good since you're missing out on movies, sweet music, and speech!

I agree on that but the cd version is almost unfindable :(

I had exactly the same problem you are all having. I actually have the CD though so it might be different. You can try putting any cd in because obviously it needs one, but I just ran mine strait from windows and it worked, no sound though, which leads me to believe the CD doesnt matter as I would have sound from the CD if it did.
You should have seen how happy I was like a kid in a Candy Store!!!!!! :)

Sorry for got to mention the CD was having the player.ini file prob, I downloaded this copy from here.

You can try running it with VDMSound.

what is VDM? 'insert cd' , means the computer wants him to insert a cd.....like everyone was saying on the last 20 something pages

You said the CD version works for you in Windows, but doesn't have sound.
Try using this to run the game:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=535400

running with vdm tries to open game in dos, which i cant, or do it manually and manually isnt working. it says to type dosdrv at the command promt and i imagine that would make it work when i opened the thru windows, but dosdrv is coming up as illegal command in dos.
i have a feeling the download just doesnt have sound files because i have gotten my CD version to work, with sound (YAY YAY YAY if i was in a candy store b4 im at disney land now!) and it does not have the speech text, where the downloaded one does, and when i did the setup for the downloaded one the sound test worked. so me thinks it only contains the test sound file. please tell me if im wrong.

sorryits wasnt the cd version that worked before it was the download, and i thought that having the actual cd in there was fixing the cd-rom problem, but im pretty sure now, that running it thru windows not dos was the solution. now i am running the cd version with sound. if anyone has had trouble installing their cd version please contact me. i will try to help its just too hard to type it all here.

running XP btw

DosBox help!
 

I've read through most of the posts, but it seems I'm rather computer illiterate. I'm using XP and the message "Insufficient EMS or XMS memory available. 2.5 megabytes of EMS or XMS are required to run." I read using dosbox can solve the problem, so I downloaded that, but I'm VERY unfamiliar with dos and don't know how to use it in order to make kyrandia 3 play-able.

Troubleshooting forum -> Sticky -> read it.

what is the name of the folder that kyrandia is in?
save your downloaded kyrandia folder somewhere EASY like c:\kyra no subfolder or if u have to go c:\Kyra\mal something easy. i hope u know what i mean....
open dosbox.
type
mount a c:\kyra\mal (wherever your 'install.exe' file is, but u have to know it exact and make sure its short otherwise half the word wil be replaced with ~)
then type
mount c c:\ (or mount c d:\ to save game to second harddrive)
then type
a:\
the letter will change from C to A.
type dir/p
this will show u all the files in c:\krya\mal page by page. press enter until you see install as an exe file. note its name - could be inst~2 exe or something. but its install as EXE not any other, EXE. if you only get a few files then you have not saved as stated above. hopefully someone can explain that part better than me.
now type
install.exe or inst~2.exe whatever its called. this should open installation. it was ask where to save the game, c:\westwood\malcolm. this is where it usually says not enought mem. now it wont(or shouldnt). c:\ doesnt exist in dosbox until you mount itusing either your C or D drive, but whether u use C or D, u will still save in c:\westwood\malcolm. not d:\westwood\malcolm.
this should now work. try running in dos, open new dosbox.
type mount c c(d? wherever u have it):\westwood\malcolm
that should be ok
then type dir/p and look for main as an exe file.
type main.exe
theres ur game.
u probably wont have sound, try VDM sound like fifth horseman said. just google VDM sound and download then install and read readme.txt file.
told u it was too much to write here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope that works for you. if u cant run thru dos just try double clicking on 'main.exe' in your folder in windows.

if coming from CD not downloaded file, change mount a c:\whatever to mount a e:\ and do a dir\p again should find install.exe there.
the setup may be done at a different time than install, but just find where u installed it to and go mount c c(or d):\wherever u installed to, then dir/p for setup.exe, and then type setup.exe (or setu~1.exe whatever it is, but again it must be EXE)

Sorry, but I kind of don't want to search through 4 years of posts.
I think someone might have answered this a long time ago but, how do I get the text to slow down? Sound is fine. Am I supposed to have music?
The text blinks in for about 2 seconds and disappears. I can speed read, but not that fast. Help me please?!?
Again, sorry if this was answered and I'm too lazy to look through the whole thread. Also, does running Vista make a difference? Kyrandia 1 and 2 work fine.

I think you have to turn off the voice acting (by moving the voice acting voice setting bar to the left). That worked in Kyrandia 2.

Never played this one, but I've seen it a lot. Got an old magazine that has an article on it.

K3
 

Unfortunately, just pressing the F key didn't work for me ... You may want to let other people know (which I found out by trial and error of running anything that looked runnable in dosbox) that CDEMU2 is your friend... *sigh. Thankfully the program gives you instructions as to how to use it if you just type it in once you've mounted the correct folder. Maybe you could post that in the end of your review instead of your previous advice? It'd help little retards like me.

THANKS!

ScummVM says that it can take the Kyrandia Trilogy, more or less. It's worth looking at.

mm, didn't know about this, will take a look!

I can say that I've completed the Hand of Fate with voices enabled in ScummVM, I've never used Malcom's Revenge on it though.

LoK 3 Malcoms revenge does work with ScummMV

However, I can't seem to get the voices to work.

Assistance?

The version on Abandonia has music, speech & movies cut. Personally, I don't think this rip is worth it. Cutting everything that makes the game great is not the way to go about things ;).

I wanted to play this game for the longest time since I was a fan of the series, but when I finally did, I was disappointed. It was okay, but not as good as the others.

maybe it's because you didn't play them with the movies that were ripped=P

but yeah, i think as well that the first 2 were better

Kyranida 3
 

I recently downloaded all 3 kyrandia's from your site :) the first 2 'books' of kyrandia work. However, as we all can see there are problems with the 3rd one. I have tried the instructions all of you have given but alas, it ends with an error when i use DOSbox on it. I open dosbox and type this

mount c c:\games
c:

main

(here's the error)" A CD-ROM device driver is required to run Kyrandia 3: Malcolm's Revenge."

Alright well thank you guys for the help, and the downloads :D I have a personal favorite DOS game thats not on here D: you guys should put up "Full Throttle" GREAT game.

We would if we could. But Full Throttle is a LucasArts game. They are very protective of their property, and we don't want to get in trouble with them.

Sound Card problems!!
 

Hi everyone! I wonder if anyone can help me solve this, maybe it's kinda stupid, but I know nothing about this. I've installed Kyrandia 3 in my computer, running under Windows, which was miraculous because it's a very old game and the computer is relatively new. The game works perfectly, the only thing I couldn't get to work is the sound, because it displays a message at first that says sth like "couldn't get the sound card settings", I think that's because newer computers have no sound card or sth like that. From the given list, I chose soundblaster because it was the only one that didn't display a compatibility error message. But when I run the game, well, the other message appears. I don't want to play without sound, it's one of the greatest parts! Does anybody know what I have to do??

Thanx in advance!!

Dosbox?
Dosbox tutorials to read

Sound card problems
 

Thanks, but that doesn't work. I mean, this is a version that runs under windows; I had previously downloaded one that ran under dos, and I had downloaded the dosbox too, but that was even worse. At least this version works, I just have to figure out the effing audio. Thanks ayways!

Then maybe you should give VDMSound a try, that emulates a SB card under Windows.

Scroll a bit down.

The version we have here _IS_ a DOS version. That you were able to run it under Windows can be attributed to a stroke of luck.

Also, don't bother with sound. All sound was ripped from this copy to make it fit on the site in the first place.

If I remember swell there were some SFX sound effects left ingame.
No music, and many sound effects were indeed deleted, but not all.

<<Too lazy to check again.

But the one I have is NOT the one here, it's a version for windows, I may not know that much about games but I'm not THAT stupid either, XD. Anyway, thanx to DOSrider (I closed the other page, so I hope I spelt it right) for the VDMSound suggestion, I'll try that right away.

Legend of Kyrandia 3
 

Hi,

I downloaded the game from this website. When I try to run it through dos box, it states: "A CD-ROM device driver is required to run Kyrandia 3: Malcom's Revenge." Can you please help me get it up and running. I had no problem part 1 or 2.


Thank you.

YOUR FLIPPIN AWESOME

Alternatively, run it through Scumm :idea:

It's available for ScummVm..?!
I haven't checked their list since it was on the front page.

I can give them to Pandaaa then. She lyks Kyrandia.

Help
 

I downloaded this game through this website and when trying to run the programme it tells me insufficient EMS or XMS memory available....what do i do???

You should use DOSBox!

You can play it also on ScummVm.

What you mean ScummVm?:omg:

This game's puzzles are insane :ouch:

Question: How can i understand what element the cats statues represents ? They looks all the same to me :whops:

Probably by clicking on each one you will get some information. Also if I remember right, you must have gems where you use each one on the altar and see what each one represents.

Then I think it's easy enough to figure out what to do with the cats. Try to match the gems with the corresponding statues probably.

He dont give any description of the statues, i have the gems and i know what each one represent, what i dont know is what the statues represent.

If it would be easy i wouldn't be here asking.

This is a very good walkthrough that answers your question.

...and GameFAQs has a lot more, too.

Excellent game. Unlike the first Kyrandia, #2 and 3 really had puzzles that made sense in a whacked out way, and the surrealistic imagery was perfect.

Im avoiding walkthrough thank you.
Anyway i passed that puzzle, for some reason a leather mouse was a torch.

That's the way you must play an adventure. :OK:

...and yet you wanted an answer which, if you'd searched the walkthrough on "statues," would have given you just that. And nothing else.

I'm with you on reading walkthroughs. But if you want an answer quickly, searching one is an easy, quick, and effective way to go.

Be that as it may, I'm glad you found what you needed. However you found it.

Finished today.
Imho this is the worst chapter of the series. They have tried to do something innovative but the result isnt very good, most of the puzzles are just repetitive works, other are even more than illogical, other time you just dont have idea what to do. The plot is not very inspired too.
Only for die-hard fans of the series.

does K3 need a CD?
 

I have Kyrandia 1 (K1) & K2 and can play k1 in DOSbox. I saw the download for K3 and thought I'd give it a try but the program says it needs a CD Driver at startup. Anybody have suggestions? I just unzipped the K3 download into its own folder under C:\westwood as \kyrand3\ and from DOSbox ran the setup.exe and the app barks that I need a cd driver.

Did you at least read the review?
Could this help?
