Title: Ghosts'N Goblins
Post by: romid on March 12, 2003, 12:40:44 am

Anyone able to continue when playing ghosts and goblins?

It gives me the option to continue, but regardless of what button I hit, it doesnt continue (even if there are enough credits)


Also, I have a 1.67Ghz athlon using XP and Im getting about 20 out of 60 fps ...is that how it should be or am I missing something?

That thing should be runnnin at the full 60fps. Disable everything and only enable color & res switching, throttle, force aspect ratio. If it doesn't run smooth then I don't know what to tell you.

Disabling these two should increase speed, depending on your exact MB.  There's other options, but try these two first and report back if it doesn't work.
