Jill of the Jungle - Jill goes Underground HELP!!

[phoenixfirecat]

Hi there!

I'm not the best with technology, especially anything to do with DOS, it was a bit before my time. However when I was really little I used to play Jill of the Jungle on my dad's computer. I recently got a hold of a copy of the original Jill, and I've always wanted to play the sequels - Jill goes underground and Jill savese the prince. I found downloads of these fairly easily however when I ran the program it basically had a spack attack. It works, but when Jill is supposed to be running across the screen, she goes really really slowly, like every move is accentuated. The best way I can describe it is a computer game's version of being put in very very slow motion.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I think I am just running it from "Command Prompt" in Windows XP but the first version of Jill worked fine which is why I'm so confused!!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Haha just good comprehension skills - the Wiki helped the most. When there, when to the appropriate operating system (windows!) and downloaded it, and i vaguely remembered how dos worked from starting up jill when i was young. im pretty sure that computer was real dos! there was a help thing and i figured out how to open jill through dos :) 2-3 hours later and much procrastination was had on jill goes underground! much love for the help hahaha
