adambiser: You mean for MageSlayer?
I guess I have 1.0 since the EXE is dated Sept 26, 1997 and the patch seems to have come out in November of that year. In the EXE file properties, my file version is 1.0.0.1 and my product version says 1.0. I'll have to patch up and try it again.
For 1.0 at least, I have to use 640x480x8 video mode for it to work, but I get the wrong colors without the ddwrapper ddraw fix. The other 16-bit video modes cause it to crash for me. My copy of the game defaults to 640x480x8 and I don't have to do any additional tweaking.
Yeah I was talking about MS. I guess I have 1.0 since the EXE is dated Sept 26, 1997 and the patch seems to have come out in November of that year. In the EXE file properties, my file version is 1.0.0.1 and my product version says 1.0. I'll have to patch up and try it again.

Hmm, I think I prefer playing in a higher resolution, the game looks alright in software mode :)
I use the following .bat file to temporarily kill explorer:
REM -[ScriptName].bat
taskkill /F /IM Explorer.exe
mageslay.exe
start explorer.exe
Doing this gets rid of the rainbow colors.
