And if you havn't done that already - you should upgrade to dosbox 0.65 (not that it should make any difference - but you know )

Indeed - the "fire-behind-you" feature is one of those things that charactarise the game - it acutally doesn't make much sense, it isn't necessary at all - but it is great fun, and look good too

Actually, the "fire-behind-you" button is quite handy against the big boss.... at the end.

And for close combat... when you fight an orcy creature. When he hides you can just walk past him, wait till he appears and then bamm... the "fire-behind-you" action :brain: . Of course, with stronger orcs you need to do this twice or more. But that is even more fun

I got hooked on Blackthorne on good ol' pc... and then it came on SNES... even better... even today I still pull out the game and play it because it's mindless fun really. So what if the plot is shallow? Quake doesn't even have a plot
Some games are made to give you relief from the tougher ones that has you stuck for hours perhaps.
Blackthorne rules... 2 thumbs up and yeah... "fire-behind-you" feature rules and makes it more than just one way shooting... and for the time it came out that was a major thing. I also recall playing Master of Magic at the same time

Gaaah!! I cant get it to run. using dos box (latest) with defend... reports that setup was not run properly but setup asks for copy protection, ran the crack and setup does nothing... says there is a sound card issue.... I checked and double checked the dma irq and stuff. im lost

Try running WITHOUT D-Fend. From what I heard, it can sometimes cause problems.
Also, are you certain the emulated soundcard is supported by the game? Enter DosBox.conf and change sbtype to SBPRO2 (or even SBPRO1).

If you don't know how to do it, please refer to official FAQ for more detailed information on DosBox.conf .

DAMMIT!! I got rid of dos boxer cos its riddled with bugs... :tai: Defend looked good.... it really did <_< I am sick of how it takes forever to to load stuff in dos box...

And yeah.. it worked fine without defend.... :mad:

To my knowledge, D-Fend is much more problematic then DOS-Boxer. Tales of savegame corruption and the like are not uncommon.

Man this game is cool. One of the first pc games that I saw, and left me quite speechless.

First time I played it as a kid I was completely hooked from the moment I saw Kyle being beamed into this colorful, VGA fantasy world. The music was atmospheric and the sounds were realistic. I adore this game and it's one of the few games that I give a pretty high rating because of it's durability. I'm still playing it for Androthi's sake!

Does anyone know where I can view the manual?
