The game "Heroes" by RealTech and Olympus ( http://gadl.free.fr/heroes/heroes.html ), which is a fancy Nibbles clone, supports several command line parameters. Directly from the help text:
Command line parameters:You can use theses options when you run Heroes.GO! Skip the introduction and start directly at the front menu.DEFOPTIONS Restore the default options (like keyboard defs, volume, speed, etc...).DEFSCORES Restore an empty highscores list.DEFSAVES Restore an empty savedgames list.HLP Start this help reader.HELP Start this help reader.INFO Start this help reader.CD Start the CD player.INSTALL Start the installation program to copy Heroes on your hard drive.COPY Start the installation program to copy Heroes on your hard drive.JOYOFF Disable joystick.ORDER Display an order form.MONO Disable stereo sound.NOSFX Disable sound FX.NODOUBLEFX Prevent from running rotozoom and mushroom at the same time (for slow computers).SETUP Run the sound setup menu.SWAPSIDE Swap player-1 and player-2's views.WIN Use this option under windows95.For exemple, "heroes joyoff mono" will start Heroes in mono and without joystick support.
A strange thing; When the game is run under DOSBox, the command line parameters do nothing... as if maybe DOSBox isn't passing them to the executable (HEREOS.EXE). Yet, under a Windows XP DOS shell, they work fine (of course, there are sound and performance issues when the game is run under WinDoZe XPee).
Any idea of what could be the problem?
(edit) P.S. Otherwise, the game works just fine under DOSBox.
