Murder in the Museum - DOS conversion

Big Blue Disk / On Disk Monthly used the "least common dominator" method of hardware support - so the were using CGA 4 color graphics into the early 90;s when every one else was using EGA or even VGA.

In the 1980's most PCs only had CGA graphics and beeper sound, which the C64 with its VIC and SID put to shame.

This should look familiar. 🙂

Yep, it's the one game of mine that they ported to another platform. I still have my 3½" DOS disk of it somewhere, I think.

Did Softdisk ever venture over to the Amiga? It would've been interesting to see if the graphics capabilities of the Amiga were embraced or if they just did straight ports.

There was an attempt for an Amiga disk magazine. Fender mentions it. I believe it was going to be called "View Point" - Scott Resh helped work on it, but for whatever reason nothing ever became of the project.
