Is this game SCUMMVM compatible at all? I got it to run perfectly in DOSBox.

Yes it is, as of v 0.10.0 it is supposed to be completable, albeit with some graphical glitches.

I had some graphic glitches in SCUMMVM, though it was an older version. I need to try v 0.10.0 and see if it gets rid of the glitches. The game works great in DOSBOX though. If you have the Munt Roland MT 32 emulator, set the sound to ROLAND MT32 in the game's setup for super sounding music. Also while in setup make sure that you choose MCGA graphics instead of VGA, or you will get bad flickers with the animations.

Hmmm, I downloaded the game from this site, but it keeps asking me for the copy protection. I've tried the suggestions in this thread (pressing Enter / selecting the same color twice), but it doesn't work... any ideas anyone?

To everyone having problems with the game's copy protection:

Download the Amiga manual as a PDF file from replacementdocs dot com. The front page has the colored illustration.

Let me take this one step further and post the color protection image here in the forum.

Ugh, I didn't like this game very much. The artistry and cinematics were fantastic, so characteristic of Delphine Software, but TOO MUCH PIXEL HUNTING. Also, I got stuck in one point because I didn't get a newspaper. LAME. The storyline is cliche, but still entertaining. But the number one reason I was frustrated by this game was...

GET A LITTLE CLOSER.

The character WOULD NOT interact unless if he was PERFECTLY positioned near everything. SO ANNOYING! He couldn't just automatically walk there, which Delphine fixed in their much better title Cruise for a Corpse (which still has too much pixel hunting). Still, this game is worth a shot!

Hi, i'm trying to play the Amiga or ST version of this classic game, but i am having trouble with the copy protection. Can anyone help as the protection is different to the PC version.

Thanks

15 days later.....

Did you find it, Ysorian?



If not, you have to find your way to the bottom (there was a hint
about that from Arthur II, or Alfred II, whatever was its name).
The clue is you will have to go down, go up some way, and go down again. I suggest you retry until you make this in about 3 minutes,
because you will need time to run again to some other door...


I've read some of the old posts and had this to say about
Pixel Hunting. The part about the monk costume in the tree:
someone said that you just try around until you are "Close"
to it. Personally I think the spot is right next or right at the dark
pixel that you see on the grass in a portion of the Tree Root.
Standing very nearly it, facing toward the costume (the character
is turned, his back at us), somehow was the way that it worked
for me after a little frustrating attempts.


I think I have been lucky about the rest, I thought it wasn't too hard,
but I did each scene slowly, checking every weird pixel.


It would be a dream come true if someone could finally upload
the Cd-Rom somewhere, which is a myth I've heard about for
long but never seen anywhere. I am really begging you.



Cheers,

Talkie

This is a great game. I actually got a german version of this around some where.
