3992.0. "DRAKKHEN-game or hellish torture?" by ZEKE::DUDMAN () Tue Aug 07 1990 06:06

    Hello,
    
    About five months ago I purchased the role/action playing game
    called DRAKKHEN.  Now right after I purchased this game I also bought
    Champions of Krynn (which I delved into first).  Now I had been just
    ready to enter the DRAKKHEN world, but it always created a CHARACTERS
    disk that caused a GURU MEDITATION; weeeeee :(  Anyway, the nice folks
    at SYSTEM EYES gave me a new set of program disks :), but they also
    failed :( 
    
    I'm sure it isn't a computer (mine) failure, since they tried the
    program out on their computers at the store.  So, here are two
    possibilities and I'd like your oppinions on them.
    
    1)Game can be run with only 512K, but I have 1meg.  Might the extra
    	memory affect the software?
    
    2)The version of the software wasn't free of bugs (v1.1)???
    
    Any help, other owners of DRAKKHEN, etc. would be appreciated.

    You didn't mention which processor you were using.  Drakkhen fails on
    anything other than a vanilla 68000.  I have to boot my A2500 in 68K
    mode to get the thing to work.
    
    Anyone who still codes in this fashion should be killed over a period
    of four or five days.

    Here's an update for anyone, in the future, who'll have the same
    problems as I've listed here.  The answer, to making the program work
    properly, is to disconnect additional disk drives (they can't be used
    in the game anyway so its no big deal).  Also, after the initial
    problem was fixed another, minor misunderstanding was evident, popped
    up.  Just remember to keep replacing the requested disks
    (characters/DRAKKHEN 2) until the information screen says to power
    off/on the computer and load DRAKKHEN 1.  See ya. :)
