Unless you have a rather old computer, I wouldn't dare try to run this in any kind of Windows---even if you did get it to work it would run much too quickly.

That's why you can easily play it in DOSBox - the great tool which will allow you to run this and most other games here at Abandonia without any problems (because most of these games aren't really WinXP compatable). And although the remake you mention is quite faithful, it's a C64 remake (almost the same as this one, but not quite) and it's still just a remake, not the real deal - as is this one.

Why is this game in the Crypt??? I thought the Crypt was only for 4 color CGA games... The screenshots show this game has 16 colors. Shouldn't it be moved to the ACTION section?

The criterion for games to be put in 'The Crypt' is age. Not.... colors.... :blink: LOL

Trust me, it's not, I've been around when the new section was opening.

I PM'd The Crypt Keeper for further clearance.

EDIT: This sounds actually scary. Or like a threat. LOL

Only 20 days late on my reply.

There is no hard and set criteria for what games get included in what category. That being said, here's the history of the crypt, as I've heard it.

When Kosta started this site it was to be for HIS favorate abandonware games. As the site grew there were games included that were not up to Kosta's personal standards. But he decided these games need a home and so created the category of "The Crypt." While the crypt pretty much is home to any CGA game on Abandonia, the only requirement of The Crypt is that they're so old that save nostalga it's unlikely anyone could enjoy playing them.

Bruce Lee, if I'm not mistaken, is CGA but it took advantage of some clever tricks of the card to improve the graphics... if what you see can be called an improvement. I may be wrong about this, tho. Still, Bruce Lee is definately at home in The Crypt.

Sorry to dissagree with you, but if age would be the only factor, then sooner or later all the games on abandonia should be moved into the Crypt.

When Marko_River and I were proposing the idea of the Crypt it was clearly said it's a place where the four color graphics CGA games should go, because those graphics can burn your eyes out

If you take a look at the Bruce Lee screenshots you can see that the graphics deffinetley use 16 colors and that the graphics are not eye burning, thus the major criteria for the creation of the Crypt itself are not met and the game could easily be in any moved to another section.

Masterpiece :nuts:

...distant childhood here I come! :laugh:

Edit: Prefer the remake instead DOS version!

Anyone notice the size of this file as 39k, yet even the most modern beautifully graphically modern games taht take Gb's to install do not heave the same brilliant gameplay?

My computer won't open it. I run the exe file (the only file, actually), it opens a full screen of black, as it is preparing to open the game or settings, but resturns to Windows and acts as nothing happened. And, of course, it all happens very short, in a second or two...
