Wow I'm glad I found this game. It has been a while since I've seen it. I got to see Star Trail as the original german version when my high school buddy worked at Sir-Tech. I got to hang around the office with him and check out all the new games before they reached the shelves. To bad Sir-Teck sold out to WoC...no more Wizardry games....He also wrote the complete walkthrough book for it. I still have the copy he gave me. If I can find it I will try to scan it in if you guys at abandonia want to post it.

I am thuroughly impressed by this game, but I'm not used to these old games and am wondering how to revive dead comrades or if it's even possible at the start...

My Dwarf's DEAD!!

oh, I don't beleive you can resurrect anybody. the rules were quite strict in this point.

If remember correctly, you can resurrect dead party members at the temples, but not all temples, I think. It's long time now since I played the trilogy, but I think it's the temples of Tsa and Boron. Well, if I'm wrong and you can't resurrect them, you can import new characters in your party everytime, just create them at one of the temple. Of course, losing a high-level advanced character is a bad thing, especially since high-level character don't die so easily. But there are some places in the game...

yeah- pray at the temples and give some money to the gods...heck, its handy even if you don't have a dead person. how many free meals have it gotten offa trivia? lots! once you e spent alot of money at the temples they will grant miracles pretty often. some gods can even fix broken weapons!

Alright-I would like to ask the same question that has been going on throughout this forum: how do I get this game to work?

I am using DOSbox, and i was able to get Blade of Desitiny to work, but for the life of my, this one i can't. I extracted the downloaded files to a folder (c:/star) and this included the crack and the patch. in dosbox this is as far as I get

z:>mount c c:/star

z:> c:

c:> crack.com

error! unable to locate patch!

Well, I have the patch-and frankly it looks like all i have are patches and such. looking at the files i downloaded it does not look like the game is there-there isn't a star.exe (i see a star.fn-but it won't open)...so how do i get this crack to function? The wording on the website here that says "To play the game, install it to a different folder, then copy the Crack file into the new folder. After running the crack the game will work. "

well, by installing it should i run the instalation program (i don't think i had to do that for Blade)? it tells me to insert a disk into A: or B: drive-and i get stuck there...so...simply put can someone write out a clear, step by step method of opening this little devil? (example command promps would be helpful.) thanks.

Hmm, you're right, there's no star.exe or any other executable that would look anything close like starting the game. Guess the game was uploaded without the admins checking them. Try on other sites, like Abandoneer, there the archive contains star.exe and anything the game needs, unlike here.

I'm pretty sure we have a correct archive here, checking....

Odd.

I am pretty sure people here have managed to get this game to run.
And Gamefreak, it was actually ONE OF THE ADMINS THEMSELVES who has supplied and reviewed the game. Kind of doubtful he would upload a faulty one.
Checking it in more detail...

Oookay. Got it running.

1. Unpack the files to a temporary directory somwhere on your HDD. Something like C:\Tmp. The path must NOT contain directory names longer then 8 characters or it will simply not work.
2. Run Install.exe
3. Choose destination directory and drive - must NOT be the same as current directory, and must NOT contain directory names longer then 8 characters.
4. Wait for the game to install. You can now delete the directory where you unpacked the installation files.
5. Copy the Crack.com and Fix.com to the directory where you installed the game. Run them.
6. Run Star.exe and enjoy the game.

Anybody else get extremely sluggish mouse movement? I mean the cursor moves like 2cm / second or even worse. Totally unplayable. It runs the same weird way in both DosBox and with WDM. Both start fine and seem to have no other problems except this very weird sluggish mouse.

- gibberish

Did you try to increase the emulation speed, or the cycles through CTRL+F12?
