A-train was one of my all-time favorite games back in the day, and I was disappointed when I experienced problems with it under Dosbox, so I thought I'd post to a forum. The thread here seems incomplete so I'd like to reopen it:
Using Dosbox 0.63 which functions great with other games (Sierra adventures like KQ and SQ - earliest versions - and from Wasteland to Syndicate Wars (i.e. very early game to recent but still requiring dos).
The problem: main A-train game screen does not display in color. The splash screens do, and so do the menus and the "satellite" overview map, but the view of the city is in two colors: black and crud yellow.
Info: install of PC version of A-Train allows choice between monochrome/color and various sound cards. I choose color and any one of the sound cards and game installs successfully, but same problem persists in every combination. Installing in BW functions perfectly - in BW. I've found this same problem unanswered in other forums.
