I found the cd with this game in my old garbage...
Installed, worked (yeah, the mind and body points are restoring with the time! 15 years ago I don't know this and call this game "unplayable" 😀 ).
The only trouble is - all of the movies in-game have 3 black lines. Not critical but very annoying.
I don't have my DOS PC anymore (rest in peace, the old and honored Pentium), so I can't tell the source of this - DosBox or the cd itself.
Any Ideas?

P.S. DosBos 0.74, P4 3.00E/Radeon X850 PE Agp/Windows Xp Pro Sp3.
With the Ykhwong's build the lines are still here...

According to wd, this is a known issue caused by the use of segment limits, a CPU/paging mechanism the DOSBox devs have decided not to emulate for performance reasons. This case is a relatively minor glitch compared to a few others caused by segment limits.
