Hi tom.
You'd have to discuss that with frank, but bare in mind most of the eamon
games are still written in basic, meaning you'd have to affectively rewrite
every game from scratch and import all the text, and that is a lot! of text
as well as completely rewriting a mechanics system, heck

Hi, one more thing to add is that the Inform (infocom) style games are

Hi Sharren.
So long as you chose the bounty hunter and not another profession with
different combat skills, taunt should be under the text to fire your guns or
start missiles, but you might need to minimize the tutorial window sinse
it's possible the tutorial is covering it.
you might also
hi Tom.
the problem however is that for eamon, you are talking about a huge existing
body of work, all with very specific ways of working. The reason frank is
using basic is simply one of necessity and compatibility with the older
programs.
Call it outdated if you like, but essentially
Hi Tom.
To be honest I disagree on the dosbox issue. Eamon deluxe isn't the only dos
game out there, and dosbox is! what people are using.
the fixes usually involve graphics not text display, thus sapi would be a
workable alternative.
it wouldn't have the cross platform uses that is
Hi Dark,
I suppose so. Technically Dos Box is accessible if you have the right
hardware and software to do it.
For example, someone who still owns an old serial synth like a Dectalk
Express and Jaws for Dos can run both in Dos Box just fine. The
problem is, of course, that most people no longer

I am trying to play smugglers and I can't.
I an using the game in a vm fusion window for I use a Mac.
Anyway when I go into the game or the tutorial I can not get to the continue

what about have nvda handle it.
nvda has a controler library which needs to be put into that version
to make it speak.
then you have a choice of a frontend, ie something uses the dosbox
engine and we have a shell over that.

When I use jaws with smuggler 5, you said that taunt was under guns and

If you activated the compatibility mode at the options screen all graphics
should be labled. maybe that is your problem?
Note that you need to activate comptibility mode everytime you start the
game because your settings are not saved.
