Home → Adventure → The Colonel’s Bequest for Mac Last week GOG.com released the digital version of The Colonel’s Bequest! So I added the game to Porting Kit and made a Crosstie for Crossover as well. Played By: The Mao A Sierra adventure game from 1989, written by Roberta Williams. It has many elements that makes it some. I am using Word for Mac on a MacBook Pro. I have a Word file that is designed to print a 3x5 label. Under Mailing, I select the label size, which is then saved with the file. There is an Excel for Mac file with the data that is also saved with this file.

Audio Problems
Audio problems are common in the later Sierra DOS SCI games. There's no single fix for all these games. Transmit 5 5 1 3.
Pacemaker plugin for mac. Problem - Poor Quality / No Sound (Win9x and XP): The game has no sound or the music is of poor quality.
Solution 1 (preferred): Play the game in DOSBox. It also will work with the MT-32 sound module, if you are fortunate to have one.
Solution 2: Use VDMSound. The game work well with VDMSound. The sound will be as good as your audio hardware, and as with DOSBox, it works with the MT-32 sound module.
Solution 3: Play the game with FreeSCI, a third party Interpreter for Sierra's early SCI games.
Solution 4 (DOS/Win9x): Install DOS drivers for your soundcard. Without DOS drivers installed you won't have sound in a DOS window in Windows 9x. If you can't find DOS drivers for your soundcard, there is an alpha (developmental) version of VDMS that you can try.
