Betrayal at Krondor is a classic DOS adventure game from Dynamix software.
I am making available a stand-alone Mac OS X application bundle for the old fantasy role-playing game Betrayal at Krondor from Dynamix.
Betrayal at Krondor, which is originally a DOS game, was released as freeware a few years after its release to promote the sequel.
The game naturally does not run natively in Mac OS X -- it is run transparently through the DOSBox emulator, an open-source project which creates a DOS-like virtual environment from which old games can run without compatibility problems.
Unfortunately, DOSBox is quite slow, so in order to run the game with decent responsiveness, I recommend that all graphics be set to minimum quality and game sounds and music be entirely switched off.
Requirements:
I have found the game to be quite playable on a 1.25Ghz Apple Powerbook with the DOSBox emulator set to 4500 cycles and Frameskip 2, but your mileage may vary.
I really recommend that you acquaint yourself with the DOSBox hotkeys to change the emulator settings-- it can be helpful for toggling fullscreen mode, speeding up the emulator, tweaking etc.
