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?

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.
