Let's see...
Most of it checks out as allright.
Is your graphics card AGP or PCI? Do you have a spare older PCI graphics card to try running the game with?
[/b]
PCI. And I don't think I have an older one. Even if I did I wouldn't be able to check it
Maybe it's just my luck? Or, to put it properly, its absence?

Is this intro long?
Maybe someone could take pictures of it and send to a poor unfortunate soul?

The graphics card is about the only thing I see that could be causing the problems.

As for the intro, I'll try and send you some pics.

Ok, I'll try the game on another computer.

Thank you very much.

Have just checked it on another (a more powerful PC, I guess, though I don't know about its Graphics card). I'm no longer a poor unfortunate soul! The intro worked. Thanks again for all help.

Now does anyone know how to run Legacy of Sorasil (HQ 2) on PC?

I wasn't aware that HQ2 was ever released for PC, actually. Where did you find it?

Had it been released for PC, I wouldn't ask. I'm asking becuase it's for Amiga, and I can't run it even with the emulator.

First, you cannot read Amiga-formatted floppies on a PC. You'd have to record disk images of them and use PC-formatted floppies to transfer them to your PC (alternatively, they might be downloadable from some Amiga emulation sites).
Second, you need an Amiga emulator. WinUAE is the only one that comes to my mind at the moment.

It's been years since I last ran an Amiga emulator.
The procedure should be explained in the emulator's readme.

Finally run the game. Fun. Looks like HQ a bit, but adds more heroes. The first quest is a mine field of traps. Dwarf is essential to survive. In my first game 3/4 heroes died on traps.

Thanks for all the help I got here in running HQ.

Exclamation

perrrfect k: :brain: ! here's what i think about this game =
1. gameplay - ultimate, easy, fun, great!.. everything good. i just love beating up the monsters, easy pickings. 5.
2. difficulty - easy. sometimes gets boring, but as i said, easy pickings. remembers me of modern game i had, fable (the lost chapters). small rpg, monsters were easy to kill. same here. 4.
3. graphics - good, for a dos game. even great! this makes game playable (think about pizza), and fun (sauce). gameplay makes it great (cheese, ham, etc.). 5.
overall rating - 4.7
