Archimedian dynasty works quite well with DOSBox version 0.72 / Ubuntu 8.10.

What works: Most of the game.


What does not work: The only thing that I found does not work is the display of the ship in the repair dock.


There is a major annoyance though: the mouse is awfully slow. There is a workaround:


You can fix the issue by running the program with the Mosue2kv tool found at http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=1059

1. Download the executable and copy it in the directory where AD.exe resides.

2. Run the game with MOUSE2KV.EXE 640 480 8 8 AD.EXE


Another thing: the cursor keys were mis-mapped when I ran the game. Hit ctrl+f1 to remap these (click on the key, click on del, then add then hit the cursor key).
