Hi all,
I have downloaded Crystal Maze and can run it through DOSBox but it plays full screen and I cannot see the bottom section of the game screen (which makes it hard to play some of the games because I dont know the hints/instructions). I also have no sound at all with the game, barring a bit of stuttering at the beginning startup screen.
Any help is appreciated with these problems.
Thanks.

Your screen problem is probably related to your monitor itself. The modern monitors have different settings for different resolution. Try moving the monitor settings so you see everything and there is a good chance it won't change the setting of the higher resolution you are used to.

For the sound, make sure the game is setted for Soundblaster or Compatible. That's the default setting for DOSBox.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I'm playing on a laptop and have tried (unsuccessfully) to change the screen settings. I am still having problems witht the sound, despite trying the recommended settings.
Thanks.
