DOS Days

Simon the Sorcerer

Released: 1993
Published by: Adventure Soft
Developed by: Adventure Soft
Author(s): Simon Woodroffe, Mike Woodroffe, Alan Bridgman, Paul Drummond, Maria Drummond, Karen Pinchin, Kevin Preston, Jef Wall.

System Requirements

System Requirements 80286, 640K RAM required. DOS 5 or later. MCGA/VGA graphics supported. Audio support for Ad Lib, Sound Blaster and Roland MT-32 or LAPC-I.
The "talkie" (CD-ROM-based) versions recommend a 386DX-16, 100% DirectX-compatible PC, 1 MB RAM, Windows 95 or 98, VGA graphics, a hard disk and a mouse.
Original Media Three 3.5" 1.44 MB (HD) floppy disks or one CD-ROM.
Installed Size (MB) -


From where can it be run?

From the original floppy disks or installed to hard disk (preferred).

The game came from launch on either three high-density 3.5" floppy disks or a single CD-ROM. There was a demo that was also released on CD-ROM. All CD-ROM media came with the full "talkie" version of the game, whereas the floppy disk version used text prompts only.

MT-32 "Old" Intro 
Sound Blaster (emulated) Intro 


 

Copy Protection

The game has no copy protection, but the CD version relies on having the CD in the optical drive for digital audio samples.

 

How to Setup

To install the DOS version of the game, insert the first floppy disk or the CD-ROM and run INSTALL.EXE:

Once the game files have been installed, SETUP.EXE will automatically run:

The setup utility's auto-detection is pretty poor, and doesn't read your SET BLASTER= environment variable, so this will report:

if you have your Sound Blaster on anything apart from base address 220h, IRQ 7 and DMA channel 1. Either way, you will be presented with the list of sound card options for digital audio:

Depending on your selection, you may then be asked for the port address, IRQ and DMA channel your sound card is configured for:

When you press 'y' here, you should hear Simon say 'Hello in there!'. If you don't, check your sound card's hardware jumper settings and be sure they match what you have specified in this SETUP utility.

All of the above was just to configure the 'digital audio' part of the game's sound, i.e. the talking and sound effects. After this sound test, you will be asked what device to use for the music:

Once you have select the music device, you will be taken back to the DOS prompt:

The audio configuration creates a new file in your game's subdirectory called SOUNDRV.COM. This, being an executable file, is not text-readable or editable. The SIMON.BAT batch file used to run the game, executes SOUNDRV.COM before running the main game to load the sound driver into memory. When the game is exited, the batch file unloads this driver from memory.

The Windows 95 version got a SETUP.EXE to install the game:

Problems

Symptom: Upon starting the game, the intro sequence flashes through really quickly.
Cause: The game requires a mouse driver to be loaded. This symptom occurs if it cannot see your mouse.
Resolution: Check you mouse is working in other DOS software (not Windows, as that uses its own mouse driver!), e.g. run the DOS editor, EDIT.EXE and move your mouse - you should see an orange pointer.

 

To Quit the Game

While in the game, select 'Use' on the Postcard to bring up the Save/Load/Quit options. Choose 'Quit' and hit 'Y' to confirm.

 

Supporting Documents

 

Save Games

While in the game, select 'Use' on the Postcard to bring up the Save/Load/Quit options. Save games are written to the 'saves' subdirectory in the game's installed directory. Files are called save.001, save.002, and so on. They are not text-readable or editable.

The Windows 95 CD-ROM version was for designed for Windows but also included the DOS version on the CD (see the DOS subdirectory). For Windows, it used DirectX 2.0, I believe. Here is its contents:
