Using 0.74 the bottom portion of the screen for this game is cut off. Which happens to be where some of the navigation icons live.

The screen is being shifted down, as there is a black bar across the top. There is also no wrap-around (where the bottom appears at the top).

I have tried changing the machine type:
svga_s3, svga_et4000, vga

I have tried changing to output:
surface, overlay, ddraw

I tried changing aspect ratio and scaler as well.

In all instances, the bottom of the game was missing. I do not have this issue when accessing the same game files using a program like ScummVM.

Looking at mobygames, the screen shots posted there have the same problem.

edit: Problem exists in SVN I tested as well.

Run the game like this: sierra -w 0 0 200 320

You may already have a batch file which runs the game with those parameters.

No batch on here with those parameters. it was a clean copy from the cd.

That is a very interesting switch. I've never come across it before. Thank you.
