I'm sorry, but, can you be more specific? Firstly, what did you do to set it up? Eg, your configuration options, how you "installed" DOSBox, and so on. I'm not quite clear on what you mean about seeing no text either. Do you just start up DOSBox and see a blank screen, or does it work ok until you start the game then you see no text in the game?

BTW, while I personally feel that Yhkwong's CVS build has the best overall features added and it is the most up to date, there is also Gulikoza's build here: http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/ In fact, it may be less buggy for some people since it has less extras thrown in.

LOL you have to be JOKING giving this game a 5.

I remember buying and playing through this entire game. It had very very pretty graphics - and that was IT. Bad characters, bad story, bad pacing, bad and nonsensical puzzles, and an ending so unfulfilling and empty that I was left staring at the screen wondering wtf had just happened.

Then a few days later I read a magazine article about the making of the game, how it had started out beautifully and halfway through the project money had run out and the entire thing had been patched up as it was a shipped out to the stores like that... and how the original ending, only published in the original german (or something) version had been SO vapid and insulting to the player that they had been forced to change it before publishing it in the US, only the new ending wasn't really an ending but just an abrupt stop to everything.

But yeah it did have pretty graphics so I guess that warrants a 5? Yeah right. That is ridiculous. To the guy who's all worried about having missed the original game, you're worrying over nothing. Seriously.

My thoughts exactly. I think this is the game with the worst ending ever. It had nothing to do with the story itself and left me clueless and frustrated. I tried other solutions but always ended up either dead or right at the strange, strange end which you mention.

I erased the game from my disk and intend to never play it again.

Hey,

The speech download doesn't work anymore. Can someone upload the speech files again? Only the first RAR works, the rest says it had too little downloads.

Thanks!

I remember seeing this game on the shelf of my favorite computer store. My jaw just dropped when I looked at the pictures on the box. I picked it up at the price of 30$ (Canadian) and installed it as soon as I got home. Finally I thought, another adventure game to satisfy my thirst. I mean, after finishing all the Lucas arts adventure games released to that date (some of them so many times it would be embarrassing to mention) I needed another fresh experience. Well to my great disappointment the only thing this game had going for it was the visual side. The story, puzzles and all the rest just did not hold up to the graphical aspect, and upon completion I was left with an empty feeling of. that is it?!?
I rated it a 3 on this site, and if I were to just rate story and puzzels and no graphical content. I would give it a 1.5!!!

Right at the start of the game, where you try passing the guy guarding the forest...I try giving him the precious idol, but he doesn't accept it (makes usual remark about appropriate toll)...any ideas folk?

Ok I figured it out (after some mad random clicking of statue on theif). You need to take the statue, hover it over theif (so it says use statue on..), then right click (so it says give statue to...) and finally left click. -Ultima

I am finding that the game is freezing on me when I try to go to the ice ponds. I have it running in DOSBox, at 7500, so I know that is not the prob. Is there something else that might be interferring with DOSBox interfacing with the data? I have DLed more than twice, just to double that it is not a prob with a file, since everyone else has DLed the same file, I am assuming that they are not currupted.
Anyone got an idea?

To add, I have found that it is not neccessarily when I reach the ponds as it is that after about five minutes of play, it freezes. This, I saw in an earlier post, was a problem that someone else has had. How do you fix it? I have not had this problem with any other games, if that means anything.
