This is a really strange one.
The game installs fine and launches fine in the recommended Win 3.x install as described here in the forums.
If the game is launched with the video driver set to more than 256 colors it will warn the user at launch that the game may not look proper. Sure enough, the title screen and ever screen thereafter has messed up coloring.
However, if the driver (The S3 driver recommended) is set to 256 colors, the warning goes away but the title screen and all subsequent text is upside down. The colors are no longer messed up, but all the text is upside down.
Note that just the text is upside down, not the background image.
I attempted running the game via MS-DOS installed in DOSBox w/ a WIn3.x installation and was surprised to find the game goes to a black screen on launch and never recovers. Generally going this route fixes emulation problems, however n this case it runs worse.
Generally I don't post Win3.x errors here as there isn't much of a community messing with these games, however in this case I figured the upside down text screens warranted a post. I figured maybe someone had seen that problem before as it would appear to be a driver or driver emulation error rather than the game itself.
As always, any input is welcome. Thanks.
