I have played and finished the Ur-Quan Masters. Awome game. I Have now downloaded the game Star Control 33 and have this probem:
I can run Star Control 3 for dos, but have NO screen. It's totally blank (black). I can fire the weps, as I can hear them fire. What do I have to do to get the screen to show in the game? I just finished The Ur-Quan Masters and had NO trouble playing that game. Do I have to use DosBox? If so, is there anyone that has the runfiles for that?
I posted this on the Star Control 3 forum, and NO-ONE wants to anser it. I though you ppl might be able to help me. Please?

What system are you on ? For Linux the game worked under WINE . In Windows I suspect emulating win 98 or running in win98mode should do it .
EDIT: And the last reply on that forum was in 2004 - why did you expect a quick answer ?

Well, post is not a reply, but irrelevant. Sorry if you have taken it badly, I did not intend to offend... Sorry. DOS? like actual dos on 486? that's neat! DOSbox would also be a good choice , It worked on my machine, but I had to copy my disc to ISO and mount it in order to run it in Ubuntu dosbox. What are "runfiles" you mentioned in the first post? Sorry if I'm not really helping, at least you are getting a reply

I didn't take it badly, I just corrected the errors. Sorry for the confusion If it's Dosbox, I need the files for that.

Fot or not?

While I don't know what graphics card you're using, I can offer some suggestions. If the card is old enough (i.e. older than SC3), it may need UNIVBE to provide VESA SVGA support. The SC3 CD includes a copy of UNIVBE in the UNIVBE directory. Try installing that and running it before SC3.

I'm pretty sure that if you are on windows you can drag the application file onto the dosbox shortcut and it will run it.
