What about krank?

I think it would be very easy to "port" since it is just python/pygame.

Hey Jay!

That game is 1994 which is right around the maximum year Dosbox can push itself to run properly.

Have you tried applying the universal 1.31 patch to the game?

Also you'll have to install the game with no music and maybe even sound support as well.

Lastly frameskip should be probably 4, remove any sound options in your dosbox.conf file and crank the cycle speed up to around 1800.

It might be silent and a little slow but it should be playable I would think.

Now when it's Elite's 25th anniversary, Oolite would be fun for killing time.

well, the very first link when i click that offers the patch for downlod, and inside that 1,4MB is a readme.txt

stuff like
- A note on diplomacy. The stronger you get, the more difficult it will be to maintain good diplomatic relations with the other wizards and the more likely they will be to delcare war on you. They will not allow you grow strong unchecked.

- Spell blast should now work properly against disjunction.

basically bugfixing and balance issues.

if you only know the original, unpatched MoM, then there are more differences, because with 1.2 (included in 1.3.1) they made many (though mainly minor) changes to spell-, building- and unit-abilities.

the game still crashes on me from time to time in Dosbox, but not often. once every 6-8 hours maybe.
edit: on a PC, that is...

Sorry Jay, I should have explained myself a little better.

When I mentioned "universal patch" I was referring to the fact that the patch should work for any person, whether they be black, white, Japanese, Korean, or Sputnik.
