I have this game on my C64, which I still have. If you want this game in the equivalent of EGA rather than CGA, I would download the C64 disk version and run that in a C64 emulator rather than this version in DOSBox. It is the same game, just with the better C64 graphics (16 colour) of the time, rather than the PC graphics (4 colour) of the time....!

Err... look at the main site and you'll see the PC version (although not as good - graphically - as the C64 version) does have the 16 color EGA graphics (not the 4 color CGA as you've mentioned).

Your absolutely right Sir! It was the cyan colour of the main character that got me thinking CGA, and looking closely, while they are EGA they look shockingly bad. The C64 palette allowed for a better use of colours and that makes a heck of a difference! Certainly when it comes to CGA and EGA PC games, it would always be wise to see if there is a C64 version that looks or even plays better!

Thanks for pointing out my mistake!
