I've been trying to complete this game for 15 years.
I was surprised by a mention of a VGA version on 3.5"ers, I've never seen it but I have seen a picture of the plastic red box with PC on it, so it must exist somewhere. It was a German copy.
All the cardboard box 'Box Office' with Elvira on are the CGA 5.25" versions and none of them will play the vicarage. I know - I've bought 4.
One thing you can do with the original floppies in install the game in EGA mode. It looks awful but the vicarage behaves different. The graphics still screw up but you can go inside and it doesn't crash. You can cut the woman out of the wall (you can't see it - the screen is just a jumbled mess) and get her stuff. But when you try to go upstairs it CRASHES:mad:
So you can't get your savings book and finish the game.
I've even tried emailing author Mike Woodroffe on numerous occasions as I'm desperate to finish it. Never had a reply.
PM me if you have any links or info to the PC VGA version or any links to any of the Horrorsoft dudes. Mike and Simon Woodroffe, Alan Cox, Teoman Irmak,
Alan Bridgeman.
