Super Jarvis XL
« on: Thu, 12 September 2013, 21:02:01 »
Can anyone find me a full copy of Super Jarvis XL?  I can only seem to find the shareware version which is limited to 9 stages.
It's an Asteroids clone for MS-DOS.

It was made by Matt Furniss in 1996.

I think this is him too: http://www.linkedin.com/in/furniss

If anyone feels like playing it on a modern computer, you'll have to download and install DOSBox, download dos4gw.exe and put it in your game directory, launch DOSBox, mount your drive which contains the game directory e.g. "mount c c:\Users\Admin\Downloads\jarvis", slow down the CPU by setting a fixed amount of cycles e.g. "config -set "cpu cycles=10000", then launch the game e.g. "c:\jarvis.exe".
I'm not sure how to control the screen flickering though.
