I just bought Lost Treasures of Infocom and ran into a problem. I'm trying to play the games on my XT with an XT-IDE card and 64MB CF card.

Whenever I run a game, my prompt looks like this "Moves: 0 [37;44m [25;01H>" instead of just ">". 😠

Any ideas? My autoexec.bat and config.sys are stripped down to a minimum. The machine has 640K of RAM and DOS 3.30

That's an ANSI problem I believe.

Ah, thanks for that! Looks like the installer edits the config.sys wrong! After I changed it to DEVICE=ANSI.SYS, everything works as it should 😀
