Problems running Legend - Four Crystals of Trazere

[bungledin]

Hi all. I recently attempted to install and play Legend - Four Crystals of Trazere (http://www.abandonia.com/games/1054). I initially tried running from DOSBox and then, because I am by no means an expert at these things tried the easier option of trying it with D-Fend Reloaded.

Both times I have had the same problem, the colours are all wrong, it only displays red/green and nothing else. Also, even though I specified that I wanted to play the game by using my mouse in the Setup, only the keyboard works when the game runs (with very strange controls). It also doesn't run full screen/ It initially loads full screen but nothing happens until I minimize it. This isn't the biggest problem but it is a bit of a pain.

Another game, which again I have run on box DOSBox and D-Fend Reloaded, is D/Generation which worked fine both times.

I am using Windows 7 (64).

Any help would be massively appreciated. I used to play this game on floppy disk as a kid and would really love another chance to play it again.

Check if the game folder (and/or its contents) isn't set to Read Only. The graphics issue sounds like your copy is set to CGA graphics. You want VGA.

Set windowed resolution close to your fullscreen and you'll be OK. You may need to change the graphics output to overlay or ddraw and use one of the scalers provided in DOSBox.

Im having the same issue and it will not make a difference no matter which setting I use.

Not confirmed. I downloaded version from Abandonia, and tried to start it as is (starting TRAZERE.BAT), and after using SETUP.EXE. All settings works, graphics is VGA by default. Can you explain more how exactly you are starting the game?
