So it seems that all Ocean-published games I'm playing lack an exit to DOS mechanism. I mean I tried many things:
Ctrl/Alt-C
Ctrl/Alt-X
Ctrl/Alt-Q
Ctrl+Alt+Del
Ctrl+Alt+Esc
Ctrl-Break
Ctrl/Alt-Esc
Ctrl/Alt F1-F12

Couldn't get any to work. I'm playing WWF European Rampage and RoboCop 3D. Both don't let you exit without a hard button-press reset.

Any other secret sauce people know about that would save the need for hard reset?

Ctrl/Alt - Z is sometimes used as well...

Could be that Ocean titles were usually multi platform licenses so not many of the other systems had an OS to return to.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Yeah. It must be the multiplatform thing.. that and lazy programming 😅 Btw, Ctrl/Alt-Z didn't work either. Not surprised 🙃
