Cool adventure, but requires patience.
I bought this when it came out in the mid 1990s. It ran pretty sluggish even on higher end hardware of the time. It was a pretty resource demanding DOS game. You are probably going to run into performance issues in DOSBox as well. It's most excellent GOG is offering this DRM free now as the CD-ROM had all sorts of copy protection IIRC. First off, when you start the game, hit the F1 key and get familiar with the controls. To mouse look you hold the right mouse button and while holding the right mouse button, hold the left mouse button to move forward. You can use the arrow keys if you like. When you start the game you see a message about the room getting slow and to hit keys 1,2,1. Basically, 1 is the highest graphic detail level and 3 is the lowest. 4 is autores. 4 basically goes to low res when moving and high res when standing still. It works well, but if you like the high res mode then the 1,2,1 method works well enough. Sometimes I have to use 1,3,1. So bottom line, the engine will slow down in high res, so you lower the detail level and up it again and for some odd reason this gets the graphics performance smooth again in high res. I just use option 4 (autores) as I don't mind chunky pixels when moving. If you can get beyond the technical weirdness you have a pretty decent first person adventure game here. When the game came out, it flew under the radar (at least in my computer gaming circles), but it's just perfectly weird enough I was immediately intrigued when visiting my local Babbage's store one mid 90s Friday night. It's got dinosaurs, ghosts, dungeon pathways to explore and of course puzzles. I never finished the game, so hopefully I can now. One thing is for sure, games like this aren't made anymore. Different, very different, and I love every minute of it.
