That won't allow us to find out why it doesn't work. What happens, do you get an error message, do you run it in pure dos, in win 9x, win xp, dos box or vdmsound?

Of course it wouldn't work in Windows XP, after all it's an old Dos game and neither Windows XP nor the old Dos games were ever intended to get along with each other. Back then nobody knew there would be Windows XP one day, and Bill Gates didn't care in the least for the players all around the world to provide compatibility for the classic Dos games.
There's however a ray of hope for you. There has been created a special program to allow people to play these old games despite today's lack of compatible hardware and support for all the old Dos games. This program's name is DosBox and you can download it here On the same site you'll find hints and documentation to help you get along with DosBox. And if you still have questions or problems, don't hesitate to ask here and we'll be happy to help you. May the force be with you... oh wait, that's a wrong game |

Wow what a rip off of Bloodwych even the character names are the same, common keys to open wooden doors and banners everywhere. Although the original didn't have the 3D feel it was two player and wasn't trying too hard for the time, like this one seems to have been. Feel free to dispute :bleh:

Add Lands of Lore 1 and Anvil of Dawn to that list for good old tile-based movement I don't find fighting in these games lacking though. EOB trilogy are much recommended, although I have only finished EOB1 and EOB2. I haven't tried Ishar trilogy yet. Reviews here in Abandonia say that the games are hard. Maybe someday I'll try them. Anyway, I am being off-topic here.
Back to Hexx, here is a review I found on the net: http://www.ibiblio.org/GameBytes/iss...iews/hexx.html |

Well that's just the same review I mentioned few posts ago, on the first page, a review for Gamebyte 21. Notice the character bar that's different from the screenshots of the game uploaded here (the link in first post of this thread).

I encountered a bug in the game that made it impossible for me to finish. Everytime I went up and down a level, the common keys on my keyrings would reset to 1. So I would have ten common keys in one inventory slot, and then when I went down a level, suddenly there would be only one key. Worst of all, the common keys disappeared from the shop, so I had nowhere to buy more. I eventually ran out of common keys due to this bug, and I got stranded in the Tower of Grisslem, because there you need at least two common keys on you to progress. You can't go back to the Keep's shop until you finish the Tower, not that it would help because as I said, the shop stops stocking keys. What an incredibly horrible bug to have in a commercially released game. Anyone know a way to fix it or a way around it? I suppose in the beginning of the game one should buy fifty keys and then just throw them on the floor for later, or else simply carry lots and lots of single keys with you. I'm too frustrated with this game to try. A pity, I was getting into this game and enjoying it. One should definitely turn the music off, though, and put on the radio or a cd instead.
