Im no expert on graphics, but i think maybe the reviewer didn't praise the graphics enough. They look superb for 1994, although I could be wrong: as I mentioned, I'm no expert on game graphics.

played this one long time ago and as I am a big fan of adventure games I must say that it is rubbish, nicely drawn but you get to many sterile location there...
gets boring very quickly so dont bother with it

Alright... a more thorough explanation...


1.
Double-click on the file AVPATCH.EXE

2.
Follow the instructions on the screen:

Quote:
Originally posted by AVPATCH.EXE

Edit 'AV.CFG' & Change the SourcePath to the FULL path of the installed game. Copy ALL '.AR2' files into installed game dir. Run this patch in game dir.
So... we need to do the above before using the Patch (meaning you don't complete the patch now.

3.
We edit the AV.CFG file (using Notepad), and at the first line we put in the full game-path.
(On my machine this would be C:\virus, however this will be different if you have the game in a different folder. Note that paths like ...\Documents and Settings\.... will NOT work.)

4.
As all the .AR2 files are already in the correct folder, there's no need to do anything with them.

5.
Start the AVPATCH.EXE file again, and this time complete it.

6.
Play the game in DOS or DOSBox, the game will NOT work in Windows XP (It will seriously damage your screen resolution if you try to play it on Windows XP).

Just wanted to point out that if for some strange reason you have to keep the game in a folder like 'My Documents', you can go into DOS and find out how it refers to them. Just type dir/w at the C: prompt. For instance, My Documents usually comes out to something like 'mydocu~1'.

Never got past the first two screens (hangar and ship's cockpit) I do believe I tried everything possible, though (been trying to find a way to get further for three hours, back when I tried, and that's usually thorough, if I spend that amount of time on it)
