Audio Problems
Audio problems are common in the later Sierra DOS SCI games. There's no single fix for all these games. If
there a Windows version you can try it, first.
Problem - Poor Quality / No Sound (Win9x and XP):
The game has no sound or the music is of poor quality.
Solution 1 (preferred):
Play the game in DOSBox. It also will work
with the MT-32 sound module, if you are fortunate to have one.
Solution 2:
Use VDMSound. The game work well with
VDMSound. The sound will be as good as your audio hardware, and as with DOSBox, it works with the MT-32 sound
module.
Solution 3:
Play the game with FreeSCI, a third party Interpreter
for Sierra's early SCI games.
Solution 4 (DOS/Win9x):
Install DOS drivers for your soundcard. Without DOS drivers installed you won't have sound in a DOS window
in Windows 9x. If you can't find DOS drivers for your soundcard, there is an alpha
(developmental) version of VDMS that you can try.
Game Specific Bugs
There are a couple of bugs the game has that are not speed dependent.
Problem - Out Of Heap Error:
There is a rare out of heap bug that some might encounter when arriving at Gaza.
Solution #1:
Download these save
games to get past the error. Thanks to Almirena,
who encountered this bug and had to play the game over from the start.
Solution #2:
Unfortuately, at the present, the only solution seems to be to start the game over from the start.
