I was quite interested in this game been looking for an old strat to play but im having problems getting it to work, I start the game up the main screen loads but the graphics are a bit glitchy, when I start a new game I get a glimpse of the intro screen and it then tries to load the next screen which is a real mess then i go back to the main screen which is also a mess.
Any ideas whats happening? Im using DOSBox-0.70 |

Although I do remember experiencing some glitches on the main screen, at least on older Dosbox versions, this does not happen here when the game itself starts running. Have you turned off the xms and ems memory in the Dosbox setup file? Those memory types may f*** things up some times.

I wish I had an answer to this problem but sadly I'm not very good with Dosbox. Can someone who is check the game out and try to find a way that helps boldee out?

I tried a few different video settings and I couldn't get it to work in DOSBox either.

I tried the game today on my 1.3 ghtz pc on dosbox 0.70 and it runs perfectly. When I donated the game to abandonia I sendt the zipfiles located at Home of the underdogs. This was 10 different zips, something might have gone wrong. I should instead just sent a zip of my unpacked "version" which I downloaded years ago - which I know works 100%. So, I'll do that and tell you when it's up.

Old game archive has been replaced with the new one.
Please let us know if the game works now! Thanks.

Yes, the game does seem to start up ok now. People should be aware there there is a long blank pause when the game begins but eventually the game will come on screen. I assume that is where an opening cut scene was removed and replaced with dead screen time. If you click on "opening" from the menu you get the same long silence. Maybe there is a keystroke to bypass that. Other than that it seems to work ok.
You must run the SETUP program before starting the game for the first time or you will get a SoundBlaster configuration error.
