HELP: Street Rod 2 game (DOS) wont display properly

[cogs]

Hey guys.

I downloaded the old Street Rod 2 game (DOS) and it displays the intro screen fine until you get into the actual game.

I can't show you what it looks like because when I hit 'print screen' and paste the screenshot into paint, it displays correctly :confused:

The game seems to be displaying a vertical column of graphics twice. So u get a column (a character wide), and then to the right of it the same exact column again (only darker) and then it displays the second column to the right of that, and then column 2 again.

So instead of seeing for example <+_+>..

you will see <<++__++>>

I guess the best way I can describe it is that it's kinda like double vision.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

EDIT: It works fine if I run the game in 4 colour mode, but not 16 colours :chairshot

in SR1 from memory, you buy a car and make note of how much you bought it for.

Then sell it straight away, putting the original price as a selling price.

When they offer an amount, say no. Sell it for the same again and say no when they offer.

Then sell it for 22111 and they'll take it.

something like that.....
