Classic Shandalar Installation questions
Posted: 22 May 2017, 21:37
First, I apologize if this information is covered anywhere else.
I downloaded the classic 1997 Shandalar with no mods or expansions on my Windows 10 PC and ran the game in windows XP compatibility mode. The game runs, but the issues from my limited game time include:
-game crashes when opening deck builder (sometimes)
-card descriptions aren't fully displayed
-wise man hints don't work
Are there any known work arounds? The random crashes make progress impossible. I do not wish to play any expansions or card additions to begin with, just the original game.
I'm tempted to try using a virtual machine, maybe Windows XP or 98.
