Vette! (1989) - Can’t get Hercules mode to work!

[compaqportableplus]

This game allegedly supports Hercules, but I can’t get it to run on my IBM XT with a genuine Hercules card! I have downloaded several different copies of the game, none of which have worked. I just get a blinking cursor and hear the game sounds, as if it’s trying to run in CGA mode.

Is there some special switch you have to type to get Hercules mode? I have tried “-h” and “/h” to no avail.

So does anyone know what the issue is here?

Thanks!

The manual on archive dot org says on the CGA version it should prompt you for the mode or to type VETTE H for Hercules or VETTE HR if you need it reversed for a laptop screen.

Oh, excellent! I was looking for the manual but didn’t see it. Must have been right there in my face and I missed it, oops.

Thanks for the help! Should be able to get it running now, hopefully.
