Hi,

I'm trying to run KB on 7.15MHz V20, 640kB RAM, CGA.
Per Moby https://www.mobygames.com/game/1473/kings-bounty/specs/ it should be supported.
I can also see that spritersresource has CGA sprites so I guess that's verified...

Have three releases, and neither of them work. They just hang the machine on prompt after a while (I can see the keyboard stop responding).

I probably have EGA only release. Does this game like keen have separate CGA port?

there are, but they are hard to find, earlier games were cut to make them more compact, in this game if cga - it was connected automatically, that's why almost all archives have reached us only with vga. look for the full version of the game
