??? I wasn't saying to get rid of the game because of a silly graphics issue on VirtualBox. I already said that I was identifying a graphics issue when I run it under VirtualBox. I'm sure it's a config issue on my end. If there's a VirtualBox user here who can suggest something I can try to get the graphics to look right, that would be great. And if we know what VirtualBox config works well, we might recommend that to people who try FreeDOS - such as on the Wiki where it has instructions for how to install FreeDOS in VirtualBox.

For example, their downloads page (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) has binaries for Windows, Mac, and several Linux distros. I think most people in 2021 who use Windows or MacOS probably prefer using a graphical interface (menus and such) to use programs, including programs like VirtualBox. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
