![]() Greetings
I am running a version of Pirates (432.03) that appear to work fine in later versions of DOSBox (including 0.72), but when run in Tandy mode with what appears to be a proper configuration, I get an all black sea, excepting for the occasional waves. ![]() This is a bit sad. Anybody experienced this and found a way around it? I really want to enjoy those C64-like tunes in the gorgeous PC version ;) I tried the version hosted on Abandonia, with DOSBox 0.63 (as it crashes in 0.72, as it was reported a number of times here), but I experienced the same issue, plus some wacky colors during fights. Any help really appreciated. |

![]() Are you sure this version is supposed to be Tandy-compatible to begin with?

![]() 0.72 reported as crashing. Is this only in tandy mode or in general ?

![]() It may crash over here, but it doesn't happen any more if I use loadfix.
I see no shield thingies. You mean the sword thingies in the 1993 Gold version? This is the 1987 original.

![]() What do you mean? Pirates! Gold also has the same option to choose the weapon before the combat if that's what you mean.

![]() Try to minimize (Alt+Enter) and then maximize the dosbox window during the game. This helped me.
