sorry to ask, and maybe to spoil something
but i've been playing the game several times, but i seem to be not able to go past the first stage: i start the game (difficulty doesn't seem to affect anything but "clock speed") i find myself in bok street (or something similar) to be short all i have to do is talking to those policemen, to dr phillips, go back to my study and "join" policeman who checked the place at 3.15 and policeman who found corpse 3.45 and then add this conclusion with dr phillips who siad he was on the body by 3.15 as i do this game ends with newspaper, scores etc and asks me whether i want to play again or not no matter what i choose, only the first time i could access second stage, but i wanted to restart and lost it.. :'( it seems forever... i even tried alt 2,3, etc in first window but they seem completely uneffective.. can anyone tell what i'm doing wrong? |
How do you get old Jack working in DosBOX?
How do you get it to run in dosbox? I've followed the instructions, but I can't change the directory to jack the ripper because the name is too long and the suggested abridged version: CD jack~1 ... is impossible to type in dosbox (it won't let me type the tilde).
Oh for the day when computers will just automatically do as you say, Star Trek like... |

But the real advice here is trying not to have directory names longer than 8 characters. Some old DOS games would freak out at that, ~ thingy notwithstanding. So, my advice is shortening the directory name to "jack" or "ripper" or whatever. BTW, it is easier to change the directory name from windows than within DOSBox. Sure, it can be done, but do it from windows to save you the trouble. |
Im not getting any sound, is this normal or do i have a configuration error?

cases 4 and 5 ?
Hi, I realise I'm posting this 15 years after the start of the thread and 10 years since the last post. But, does anyone know how to access cases 4 and 5? Thanks!

Ten years ago you asked how to access _solutions_ 4 and 5, no? And as I see, they are simply not in game - you are supposed to get them by mail.
How to access cases themselves, I don't know. Aren't there linear progression? I.e. solve case 3->get case 4? (I didn't play the game). |

So I'm hoping someone can share a link where you can get the full game, including cases 4 and 5. Or perhaps all you received by mail were instructions on how to unlock cases 4 and 5 without having to add any more files. |
My box of this game had no registration card...
But even if it had - it seems that Intergalactic Development has closed its doors soon after releasing this game in 1995. Quote:
