Kinqs Quest Mask of eternity
Hello I have been playing through all the kinqs quest games 1-7. I am making my way
through kq 7. Any way i have played the mask of eternity only once because it did not feel like
kinqs quest. Now with the odd gentlemans kinqs quest and phoenix online the silver lining
I thought i would give it another try. My question is if i used my old mask of eternity disk i bought about 1998- would it install out of date drivers. Thank you
Normally I’d say use ScummVM, but unfortunately this game isn’t supported by them being the weird 3D game that it is..
Now, you can try using DOSBox (https://www.dosbox.com/), with a certain configuration using the old disks (if they still work) but not sure it’ll be easy to get it to run. If you just want it to run, you can probably best purchase it from GOG for a few euros.

Alternatively, Sierrahelp has a patch for it, but you’ll have to purchase the collection:

Can you be a bit more specific? Define ‘stuck’?
Installing a game from 1998 won’t install out-of-date drivers. The most it would install would be a very old version of DirectX - I’m not sure if that would even install on Windows 10, so it depends on what Operating System you’re on. If it’s an official disk, there’s little risk of it making any critical changes to your system, so you should just try and install and see if it lets you. Post back here with the results.
