I have a video problem with this game, seems that the game is missing some part of the screen or not shown the screen correctly.
Examples:

I tried the official and the last svn dosbox, with differents types of videocards, and nothing changed.

The game is freeware now, and can be downloaded from here:

Greedy uses segment limits, which DOSBox doesn't support for performance reasons. There is a fix made by peterferrie available from his website, but AFAICT it works with the 1.05 version of Greedy linked on pouet.net, not the 1.10 version of Greedy that you linked to.

Yes, the version from pouet is the shareware, my version is the registered/freeware release.
I hope somebody can do some kind of fix for this version.

I'll take a look at it. Yes, the existing patch that I made is for 1.05.

Eclipse's Viper, made with the same "EOS" used in Greedy, appears to need segment limits. I guess it's kind of a party game if it really does require six people on one keyboard to play it properly.

Okay, I'll take a look at that one, too.
