I must commend the maintainers of DosBox for their support of older games. However, I must report two don'display properly with the cga machine setting. These two are Icon and The Seven Spirits of Ra. Both games hacked the 40 column text mode to shorten the character cell size from 8 lines to 2 lines. These games use the shortened ASCII characters with separate foreground and background color picked from the 16 color palette. This gives a 40x100 text mode but its still 320x200 pixels. Ironically, Icon will work properly if the vga machine is selected, but Seven Spirits will not be playable. In the CGA mode, Icon will not show a correct graphics display and Seven Spirits will not even start.
