The game is freely available and downloadable from:
http://www.cinemaware.com
OR... you can visit Home of the Underdogs to obtain a copy of the game.
This is the issue...The game works fine with version 0.57 of DOSBOX - EGA/Tandy colors with PC speaker sound only, nonetheless, the entire game is playable.
In version 0.60 of DOSBOX, all graphics were missing except the flashing of the title at the beggining of game and once more, only PC speaker sound support.
In the most recent version, DOSBOX 0.61, Tandy/EGA colors are present, Tandy music is present; However, after the intro, when a 'window' states to insert reel 2, pressing a key (any key), the game 'crashes' and DOSBOX exits.
Again, under version 0.57 the game ran fine (including just pressing a key when prompted for reel 2) - All that was missing is Tandy Sound.
Any ideas/suggestions/comments. I tried editing the Config file and playing with different values - but the results are always the same for version 0.61.
BTW, don't confuse this with the CGA only version...There were two releases of this game for the PC. The EGA/Tandy compatible version has two files only: DEFENDER.EXE and a GAME.DAT file.
Thanks for any help and support,
Trebor
