[_r.u.s.s.]

well i took a look, and each time there is made a new file called GAME[number].SAV, like i said. but i have no clue what could cause that you cant create new files.. so i guess that game itself is somehow um wrong. maybe redownload and re-unzip?

ok i got the games to save, it was a problem with dosbox, i deleted it and reinstalled. i remounted everything and it works now however i have to remount the directory everytime i want to use dosbox. oh well guess you cant have everything.

I have been hunting for this game for ages..

Thanks to abandonia...

I can finally play a game i used to play at 13, im already 28 now..

LOL..

anyway, to solve one of the mystery of the estate.

Im playing english & the smallest estate cost exactly 309,000

One question i always wanted to ask is this:

each time u visit a different port, there will be different charts in the charthouses..

what does the figures means?

for exmaple, i have charts of boston & new york..

but sometimes, i can still BUY charts when it is outline in red & shows a zero.

U guys know what i mean?

i never fully understand the charts thingy..

I was wondering if it is a waste of $$

You set waypoints, and hits helmsman, and he will take you there.

as for going up in levels, you need to go home once and a while, and it will promote you. Over time, you need to buy special items and those help you go up also.

When I boot the game, it runs fine, but when I type in my name, the screen displays a whole bunch of hex values, and goes to windowed mode. I've run it in Windows (ME), and when I try it in DOSbox, it just crashes automatically. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.

ps. I've tried using the -P and -1 commands, but to no avail.

Edit: Never mind, I fixed the problem by tuning off the sound in the setup program. Thanks

for people experiencing lag when playing the game in dos box.

few things you can try

1 increase the cycles in dosbox.conf (see the post before this with the link for that info)
2 use the -1 option when running the program
3 turn off sounds and animations by leaving the dock and visiting the cabin and going to game options.


enjoy

thanks for allowing people to play all these old games.
