King's Quest 7
Submitted by fov on 2005-12-01 14:08:43 This product has a rating of 4 out of 5 running under Windows XP Comments: I didn't have any problem running this game under XP. There are different versions (DOS and Windows) but the one I ran (Windows version 2.00b) worked fine. The computer may need to be set to 256 colors and 640x480 resolution (either with compatibility mode or manually) for it to work properly. The issue posted above, involving the firecracker, is a timing bug that's related to the speed of your processor, not the operating system you're using. It has two simple workarounds. You can use a program like MoSlo or Turbo (both available for free download) to slow down the processor and get past that point. Or, you can just select the "try again" option when Valanice dies. The firecracker will explode quickly again but you'll have an opportunity to take a few steps before it does. Each time you "try again" you can get closer to where you need to bring the firecracker, until you finally make it. Sounds tedious but it only takes a couple of minutes... by no means a showstopping bug. :) |
