Spews garbage after displaying the title screen. The same install works fine here, so maybe it wants a different BASICA executable?
|
Runtime file missing - Sat, 7th Jan 2023 @ 14:08 -- GeeTee
Doesn't start because the BASICA executable is missing. Also, the level filenames contain spaces which causes file not found errors later. Uploaded a fixed version: https://dosgamer.com/upload/uploaded/hoser_1982_fixed.zip

Display Problem/CGA - Sat, 7th Jan 2023 @ 00:47 -- GeeTee

Executable has a long filename so it must be started with "DECATH~2.EXE". Title should be "Microsoft Decathlon"

Crashes after showing the game instructions. Can be fixed by running it with GWBASIC instead of BASICA.

Maybe we need an "Other" problem type, or "My problem is not listed" on the Bug Rpt
This version is almost impossible to play with the key layout A=Up, Z=Down, '=Left, `=Right, meaning that to go left you press a key on the far right of the KB and to go right, you press a key on the far left!
I have uploaded a patched version that allows you to redefine keys and use a level select, among other things.

An instructions doc is missing, so you get a file not found error and quit to the interpreter if you try to view the instructions at the start of the game. Not a big deal really but thought I'd mention it. Wasn't able to find a good replacement.

See https://dosgamer.com/games/play/conquest-1075.html comments section for description of issue - requires LOADFIX to reduce available RAM. Perhaps this can be fixed with the "early" PC template we discussed.
If not, well it's unplayable inline at least.
