cxgames 8.1.4 test for version 1.07f (cd version)

I used a WinXP bottle for this game (as win98 seemed to have problems)

Installs fine, no issues.

Running the game is another question.

  • title screen opens up, and I can fire up the tutorial.
  • fonts are still a major issue (lots of overlapping text)
  • preference menus open (but have corrupted text)
  • hall of fame seems ok
  • tutorial opens but unusable due to text issues.
  • New game seems to work

After having a look at the winhq appdb entry, I tried cp LSANS.ttf LSANS.fot which helped a lot.

The game was now playable.

Interestingly I patched the game to the latest version 1.29f which resulted in a 'debugger detected' error message and the game refused to load.

So in summary, I would give the game a silver rating for the 1.07f version, but a known not to work for the 1.27f version.
