The dungeon sections add variety while there's also a good range of units to make use and with the controls being simple to use. It's certainly not a bad game and offers the RTS fan a decent amount of challenge and entertainment, with its well crafted levels and interesting missions. However, apart from this, The Dark Legions is very much business as usual for the genre. One original touch is the various dungeon crawling missions which pop up and which require you to solve a few puzzles based around switches. What follows is a mostly standard RTS where you play through a single player campaign with a number of missions that require you to explore, find resources, and of course battle your enemies. But when a boy escapes, he grows up with vengeance in his heart and who is now ready to take that revenge. This one is a bit like the original Warcraft, with its mix of medieval and light fantasy, and the story tells a familiar tale of an evil dark lord who goes around slaughtering villages and their inhabitants. Like KKND and other blatant copies this one doesn't do anything technically wrong but it just doesn't offer anything that's different to make it worth playing by anyone but the most diehard of genre fans. The game need a disk1 put in floppy drive for keylock the game.With DOSBox 0.61 not reconigze the floppy and the game crash!.The Dark Legions is another one of those very standard real-time strategy games which popped up in the wake of Command & Conquer and Dune 2. When you first get the doll delivered (shortly into the game) it hangs with an all green screen after that sequence.
#Dos games dark legions crack#
the version i have has some crack business after that scene, and drops to some dos screen - which is greened out in. Sorry!!!!!!! it was a protection/crack issue. just remember if it seems to hang, press return to 'ok' the crack screen that isnt showing in. Hoping maybe someone notices this post and has a helpful suggestion.Įverything works fine but the mouse. I may haul my 486 out of the closet to see if the game itself is bad, but I'll wager it isn't.

Actually this happens under XP, and under VirtualPC using Windows 95. After the intro scene where an alien is inserted into the guy's brain, tos.exe starts up and then the screen goes multicolored sparkle. I'm using the Darkseed from The Underdogs website. it works nowĭosBox 0.63 broken with screen sparkle ( 00:42) I also had the issue with scrambled screen, so i tried another non-HOTU version. Putting the cd-rip files into a cd image may work, but again, I haven't done extensive testing. Get v1.51 and make sure it's not a cd-rip, but an actual cd image or physical cd. I haven't done extensive testing, but I did finally get the cd version to work. My solution above works, but a solution for a ripped cd version is to modify the contents of the "CDLETTER" file. You will have better luck playing the Amiga or pirated famicom version. The game crashes after the first nightmare scene. The game runns under dosbox 0.74 perfeckly. you must made a CDROM Image from the original game! Game and Speech running very good. I'm playing the version from Abandonia, and everything runs great, except I can't get speech to work, even though it's clearly in the files.ĭarkseed II is perfekly running! ( 11:29)

The CD version works perfectly, and the floppy disk version works perfectly unless it's in PC Speaker mode, where it freezes after playing a voice file. The subject explains why it didn't work for me, before. You can try a JavaScript version of DOSBox running Dark Seed here ĭarkseed works if it's in the correct folder name ( 08:49) The floppy version (1.5) does not contains these mid files! The CD version (1.51) of the game does NOT use the 'mid' files what are in the 'SOUND' folder. The CD version does NOT use 'mid' files ( 13:24) I mount and run the game, so far so good, when the introduction stops and goes to play the game, screen goes black and don't show the game (player in bad talking) any help please? After the video introduction the cress goes black ( 15:03)
