More people should use the D-Fend frontend, linked to on the DOSBox site.

Did you know that they've made a horrible movie out of this? Unsuprisingly it has nothing to do with the game except that there's a mansion and the protagonist is named Ed Carnby.

Uwe Boll directed it, (House of the Dead) what a hack.

Personalmente yo jugue este juego cuando fue lanzado como nuevo, siempre me gusto y lo recomendaria a todos los fanaticos que se interesan por los juegos de calidad, talves hoy en dia no paresca la gran cosa comparado con los juegos que tenemos, pero fue en su momento un gran juego, dandonos muchas horas de entretenimiento a todos.

It used to happen to me a lot but it isn't a copy protection or a bug.
Everything you got to do is when you're about to go down the stairs just press the key to move forward just once, and when it's done and you're down try to stay away from the stairs and move to the sides.

hope it helps

What settins should I use for the sound card config?* I am using onboard ac97.

I have onboard AC97/ct5880/PCI128 audio as well, and it was a PAIN to get working in pure DOS. Then I found these links: link 1 link 2
Works like a charm now.

As for the game itself... I remember reading a review in GamePro for the 3DO version and thinking it looked amazing. I've always wanted to play it since then, and now I have my chance. On first play, the graphics are a bit dated, if not just downright silly. But the gameplay is there. I can see where Resident Evil got its ideas from.

where can i buy alone in the dark 1 (english original version)?

I really hope none of you AITD fans have been subjected to the movie supposedly based on this game.... As stated in a previous post it has NOTHING to do with the game.

It's sad, really, because this game could have been a great movie, very much in line with the dark, creepy, but not buckets of blood trend in horror movies lately, (i.e. The Ring). This Uwe Boll character tried to turn it into some weird kind of Alien vs. Predator thing with gun battles and explosions and junk.

Actually, there's an interesting article on www.somethingawful.com today written by a screenwriter who wrote the first incarnation of the script for this movie, but left the project when it became clear that Uwe Boll was not interesting in making a good movie faithful to the atmosphere of the game. From what the writer says, it seems like his ideas for the movie would have been GREAT and would have captured what we all love about this game. It's a good read, if only to get a taste of a movie adaptation of AITD that all of us fans of the game could have actually enjoyed...

Using my pc at work - forgot my password, but i'll still post using my forum name...

Saw the movie last weekened. HORRIBLE !! I should have read the post above before spending my $ on this movie. The only good thing in the movie was Christan Slater. The movie has nothing to do with this game at all. The movie just used the name. Its funny how the ignorant media reporters keep saying "The movie based on the video game 'Alone in the Dark' is in theaters now... " Reporters are just plain dumb.

This is a great game, very creepy. If you are going to play it, try to do it in the dark at night. Even while its raining if you can. It will add to the enjoyment of the game big time. (Thats how i played phantasmagoria the first time - very freeky.)

Dont see the movie - if you think about seeing the movie, i have a suggestion first. 1) Run really fast, head first, into a concrete wall, then when you wake up if you STILL want to see the movie, 2) repeat step 1 again.
