Amazingly one of my kids favorite retro games is Jill of the Jungle. The could spend hours watching me play, or simply watching the demo sequence. I have the entire series. Jill 1 and Jill 3 run without issue on my 486 (DX4 100MHz running MS-DOS 6.22...I should work on my signature :D). Jill 2 on the other hand is another story. Originally, I could not get past the main menu without the system locking up. I just tested it now, and it seems to be "working" kind-of. I have no clue what changed. At any rate, even though it's working the graphics are a bit choppy and I have no music, even though running through the game's configuration I have enabled it (sound fx work fine). Again, Jill 1 and Jill 3 are 100% functioning on this box.
When I would boot clean in the past, I could initiate gameplay, but it would be super sluggish and the system would lock up within a minute of gameplay. I cannot test a clean boot today as I'm down on floppies (I ordered a bunch and they are on the way) and the floppy I had used to create a boot disk has seemed to go bad...
I'm curious if any of y'all have any ideas on what may be going on?
Thanks!
