Ok Guys I found out what caused this bug with the Vicarage screen.
(back up your original 72.out file before you do this). Open file 72.out in a hex-editor. From menu select Goto offset(h) and enter D1D2 Now change the current value (in hex) of 20 to 40 save file I just tried this, ran the game in DOS realmode and it worked, then tried it in DOSBOX, it works. |

I compared the file 72.out (from original personal nightmare 5.25 disks 1989) to the file 72.out on http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/personal_nightmare, The only difference in the file was a 20 replaced by a 40.
Very strange the original game shipped with this massive bug. I wonder if the 3.5" disk version (released December 1989) also had this. |

code
There are some very interesting messages in the code of this game. I debugged the game and used the dosbox debug version. A lot of graphics exists in the game that are not shown when you complete the game. Screens that show the devil, the open coffin of the vampire close up etc.
There are also messages in the code. Text linked to the graveyard says "Typical English sheep-shaggers from england will be impaled". Also there is a wizard/god mode where you are invincible and can also walk through walls and closed doors. |

It works!!! At last.
Still can't finish it though. I keep getting arrested on the 3rd morning "For having stolen property in my room at the pub". But you have to steal stuff to complete the game - the hammer , the secatures. All of this stuff I never let go anywhere near my room. The bugle you HAVE to steal and take in your room or you can't avoid the toy soldiers. I put it straight back in the morning when I wake up (feeling refreshed). Mr & Mrs Jones can't even know its gone. Any ideas if certain objects are triggering this? You can't avoid the policeman. |

I hate games where you have to do things quickly, despite yu have no idea what to do.
Not to mention I tend to search for "that tiny hidden questitem" for 60 minutes and still not find it. This is why I loved Monkey Island: I had to escape bloody many times to figure out how to do it properly, and the game even "rewarded" me for being a noob! But this kind of games sounds "interactive movies by walkthrough" to me. |
