--- Comment #8 from Martin Fontaigne martinrs@softhome.net --- It looks like SimTunes can be set to run DirectDraw by setting UseDirectDraw=TRUE and UseDirectSound=TRUE in c:/windows/simtunes.ini, bypassing 256 color limit.
SimPark doesn't seem to have that option. At least it doesn't hang but only show black screen in menu display mode after fully visible intro animation is done. I can move the mouse, textual hints around unseen buttons do pop up, and I can press the buttons to activate actions. The menu also appears when mouse moves to the top, and I can save a game as the file dialog is somewhat visible.
Again this is after GetDeviceCaps(BITSPIXEL) is forced to return 8 to pass the 256 color check.
