A Pirates Tale version 1.2 released

[arj0n]

Maybe that is my problem.. .  I'm playing in a window.... I'm playing at work and it makes it easier to click away when the boss comes by.  LOL!  I had problems finding the exits in a lot of the screens.   I had to click all over.  I have finally gotten out of that screen though.   It would definitely be helpful if the exits were a little more pronounced.

I found it very hard to play almost any ags adventure game in a windowed mode instead of Fullscreen mode, somehow it makes it very hard to find the exit screens.

And when I found the right exit spot I always hit a few times just outside the frame resulting in looking at the desktop or at a program that runs behind the game. Same effect as <alt><tab>.

That makes it so frustrating, I'm spending more time on finding the exit spots and clicking wrong then actualy playing the game and solving puzzles!

For me no more Windowed mode, Fullscreen mode saves me a lot of trouble

Awesome!  That's good news. 

And I just wanted to say that despite the exit problems that I had, I really enjoyed the game!  It was really fun. :-)

Great work on making a new version and taking the feedback into consideration once again.

I have to play in windowed mode, I used to play AGS games in fullscreen on my old PC and that worked fine but on my new PC for some reason if I play any AGS game in full screen I can't see anything, all I get is a blank screen with a little blue box saying 'signal is out of range' (a monitor message I think rather than one from the PC or AGS) and all I can do is alt-tab out. Sound usually seems to work though. So I've only been able to play these games in windowed mode. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can successfully play in fullscreen mode or what could be causing my problems please let me know.

In my windowed mode I was finding just about every exit in the game very hard to use, right from the start and as far as I got. The ones where I use a door to exit the screen are OK though.

Thanks again and great work!

Hey robvalue,

Have you tried using dosbox? It might solve your problem.
In dosbox you can run in fullscreen and fullscreen
makes the exit problems less difficult (in my experience)

Note: Dosbox also runs in Vista.

DL Dosbox v0.72:
http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1

If someone finds dosbox a little hard to use, there are several frontend, D.O.G. is in my opinion the best:

Hope this solves your blankscreen prob.

Grtz,

Edit: dosbox only works 4 dos games...
