This is a problem that I've had occur on three computers, my NEC Ready 7022 with integrated Alliance ProMotion graphics, my Pentium MMX machine with an S3 Trio 64 V2/DX card, and my Toshiba Tecra 550CDT laptop with an integrated S3 Virge. The only computer I've tried that runs the game perfectly is my HP Vectra VL2 4/66 with integrated Cirrus Logic graphics.
Basically, on those other three machines, the game will run and you can actually hear all of the audio just fine, but the video is totally broken. On the NEC Ready the screen is always completely blank, however on the MMX and Tecra you get a bright white fade in where the first opening logo animation is supposed to be but you can't actually see it. In-game all you get is just a bunch of jumbled ascii characters on the screen.
I really want to get the game working on the MMX machine, since that has a large hard drive and it'd make the most sense to completely install the game to the HDD on there (it's very easy to get the game to run entirely without the CD). I tried it with and without things like S3VBE20, S3VBEFIX, etc. Nothing will fix it. Has anyone else ran into this issue before? I tried searching for it but came up empty.
