I'm running XP Pro w/ Service Pack 2, and I can open and run Police Quest, and Space Quest 2 fine. All play is fine except that the text is all weirded out. It doesn't look like any characters or anything, just random pixels where text should be. But that's the only thing wrong w/ it. Help appreciated.

Nope, same problem, but it's really weird 'cause the text I type in at the bottom is fine, and in the menu it's all garbled, except when I go to select it, then it becomes clear :not_ok:

You should definitly try DOSBox. It seems to be a video problem to the best of my knowledge, and if DOSBox doesn't fix this I don't know what could solve this unfortunatly...
Perhaps trying to change the video output in DOSBox could solve the problem if it still doesn't work in plain DOSBox. I don't know how to do that tough. I would need to dig into the helpfiles. |
