I will play this game another time but follow the guide to my fix and it should be fine. ![]() I tried to work around the floppy version from this site but to no avail, on the floppy version it asks for Disk 1 at the exact point where the CD version messes up pre fix, so I downloaded the floppy version somewhere else (Sorry MyAbandonware) and it worked perfectly! I've only played up until you get the package/box when the courier ring the doorbell or knocks on the door followed by the cutscene with the baby/alien (Whatever it is!) and it indeed switches back to the PLAY.EXE for cutscenes and back to TOC.EXE for gameplay. The game starts like it should, (Title, credit crawl, disturbing but funny dream cutscene at the beginning with the protagonist etc.) using the START.EXE but then (This is when most people trying, especially the ones who commented (And me earlier today.)), to get past the rainbow coloured static/pixels) it uses the TOC.EXE for the gameplay, the fix should remedy that error and play flawlessly between cutscenes and game. I've noticed when you run the game that the files START.EXE and TOS.EXE interchange while playing the game (It does it automatically when the game is booted with "ds", DOSBox tells you what file is running at the top of the window when actively playing in windowed mode.) the sequel "Dark Seed II" i think is much better game, less confusing and more focused, however it's a Win3x game not dos.ĪGJERDE and GIGERFAN pretty much near enough-ish said what I've said but just cleaned it up a bit and provided a more iron-clad solution for those who are struggling. point and click games from the day 1 until maybe 2003 where unfair when it comes to directions, puzzles and clues. It's not the first game that did this to me but at least the puzzles are not stupidly difficult unlike "Monkey Island" or "Discworld" wIth it's BS logic puzzles that almost made me go insane. A classic point n click body horror, i got it to work via dosbox, but the setup took much longer to setup.Īnyway the game itself is huge nostalgia ride for me however, because of it's old school approach to point-and-click, you can easily get lost, due to how the directios, item and clues can be vague at times, at the beginning of the game after walking around the house and the neighborhood, i can't seem to know where im suppose to go or what items i have to pickup do, after almost 2 hours of dead ends, i gave in the a simple walkthrough, and my reaction was "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!", it was here in plain site, blended in the background, no wonder i didn't spot it on my first try. ![]()
