Making it work
- patch to the latest version, if possible
- the German v1.00 is plagued by a few gamestopping bugs, the v1.12 patch is mandatory
- Make sure to use the
CALLDOS keyword to execute the batch file(s) in order to have the DOSBox-exitswitch working. - Using the German keyboard layout (
dosbox.conf [dos] keyboardlayout=gr) along the German language version of the game is mandatory: one of the puzzles requires the player to type the character "Ä". - When using a CD image you must use the bin/cue format, the game will not recognize the CD without the audio tracks.
