[Inn_depth]

I have been trying to play this game for years but I can never get it to run properly, not even in Dos Box. Every time I catch that green little fairy the games glitches out and closes the application down.

Will I ever get to play this game all the way through?? If there are any patches available let me know.

Thank you

I just found out about dosbox and I;ve been trying to play this long lost game I used to love but Don't know what file runs it. My last comand promp is C:\Robin> Does anyone know what I have to type to make the game run? And do I need a disk? Thank you!

My last comand promp is C:\Robin> Does anyone know what I have to type to make the game run?

Robin.bat
or
Scidhuv.exe

[_r.u.s.s.]

to find an excutable of any game enter comand
dir *.exe or dir *.bat and it will show you excutable files

anyways, the excutable file in this game is robin.bat or sierra.bat, so just type one of those

edit: oh horseman was faster

i'm on the last day, i got to the point where i'm escaping the tower. it asked me if i wanted to save, so i did. well i got hit by one of the rocks and died, and now i can't restore any of my saved games. it just keeps saying that it can't be found, yet the files are in the game folder. i've read through the entire thread and it said nothing about this. i would greatly appreciate some help

I loved the sierra quest series but I had never played this game... Until now. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I especially liked the songs that your friends sing if you die and the easter eggs of fellow Sierra game creators in the Festival.

OMG I am so sad I have to finish this game someone please help me get this fixed, im begging

I'm also encountering a similar problem. I get to day 2 and I shoot the monk that's attakcing Marian and it goes back to the command prompt screen and says "Out of Handles".

Does anyone know why this is doing this? Or how I can fix it?

Sometimes Sierra's VGA games tend to do this for no reason at all. Try saving your game near the point where it crashes and then reload and try that part again and see if it works.

I've tried that several times. I've saved my game right before I shoot the monk and re-loaded and re-played it as many as five times and it continues to happen.

What makes it even more frustrating is that I have the floppy discs. I'm not running the game on DosBOx I'm running it straight from MsDos.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

You could try, sometimes, to lower the level of detail to the minimum and now I don't remember if speed to the bottom or to the top. Usually, those settings help me at those weird error that used to plague Sierra games . That was one of the very few thing I had against Sierra games . Also, going to a save game a bit earlier in the game and trying other things firsts? A lower success rate than the other tip, but sometimes the memory misstep (I suspect it is this) turns inoffensive.

My other favorite error was "Oops! You did something we didn't expected" and crash to DOS. It was specially fun when it happened once at the end of the animated sequence at the end of the trials of adulthood of the Simbani in Quest For Glory III
