Simon, now older entered the wardrobe and got sent inadvertently to the Calypso's Magike Emporium instead of Sordid's Fortress of Doom.
They sent a magic wardrobe, a transportation device to Simon's bedroom. Sordid appeared and took Runt as his apprentice to conquer the world. Found out by Runt's father, the book was burned and thrown into a magic pentagram on the floor. Now, in the other world, a young boy named Runt was reading the magic book of Sordid, the evil sorcerer. His adventures were assumed as a bad dream.

Runs when you start the game with cdgo.bat I have to launch the game with the following command line in order to works : Let me know if you need to see the DOSBOS options setup or any other info you may need. How do you get the speech to work? I only get garbled buzzing. The game starts by asking about the use of a joystick and digitized voice and then gives me the error.

#SIMON THE SORCERER RUNVGA.EXE SIMON.BAT ARCHIVE#
Later, when posting this I'd looked back at an archive of my parents' first ever PC and found that we had to run it using silent.bat way back then, over 20 years ago. I had the same issues when trying to run it using SS2.exe so I went through the directory with the intention of trying all the *.bat files within.īy chance I got lucky with the correct one first time round: the game runs if I use silent.bat - this file contains the following command: I used the version of the game available at: Running SS2 in DosBox 0.74 / Linux Mint 13 (Maya) ( 18:43) This will only work if you have the file "ASOUND.SS", otherwise you'll get a "File not found" error message.Īlternatively, use PC speaker and no music, but get the digitalized speech: If you use lowercase parameters, the game will just freeze right after asking you for digitalized speech. Make sure you *capitalize* the parameters. If you want Adlib music (in this case, the digitalized speech did not work for me), use: With ADLIB you get good music quality, but no digitized speech (I raised the volume to 200%, I hear it slightly on some occasions).ĭon't use the Ship-ID book (B) otherwise all written messages will dissapear not showing up again, this will greatly hamper game play.Ĭhoose between Adlib music, or PC speaker with digit. As said below, you can chose the IBM setting to get both music and digitized sound, but the sound quality is not satisfying at all.
