General Inherit the Earth Forum / CD-Rom command line options?

Last post by dronon - Oct 15, 2026, 01:17 PM

I still have my Inherit the Earth CD-ROM (but not the lovely box it came in, sadly) - I know it's possible to run it under ScummVM, but instead I'm getting it to run under the DosBox-X emulator, because it plays the music with the same midi instrument sounds as I remember.

My question is - during the opening scene with the cave paintings, I can hear the narrator, but there's no text that appears.  Once the game actually starts, then I can see the speech text.  Is there any kind of command line option I can type into Dos, that would activate text during the opening narration?
Thanks!

I realize the game is currently on hiatus and it has been years since last posting here, but I do wonder, would it be more cost effective to do the game in the same pixel art style as the first game? Touching up and reusing assets when it makes sense and maybe saving costs when possible due to it being pixelart based. Just wondering if this would actually make a difference to get the sequel moving again.

Like you, alive and kicking.

Glad to read this!

I visit the forum to see if anything is happening but it's been dead for ages.

Well, forums are not trendy in this decade, but they seem to last longer than new websites.

Well, about myself, I joined this forum while I was a teenager. I have always been fascinated by old games.
More recently, I have been a substitute teacher during the crisis. My contract has just ended, I am proud to have completed my mission.

I know I am almost 10 years late but...

I am back to report:
I bought this as well, but I only tried this quite recently (sorry, I have been busy).

I am very delighted that it's not yet another simple DosBox powered DOS game.

The guys at Wyrmkeep did an awesome job of creating a good port that supports a higher resolution than the original DOS version and runs natively on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

Welcome to the forum.  Show us what you have by exhibiting your writing skills with a story.  Like to see somebody else's POV on some of these threads as not many willing or able to post.

Oh! I am terribly sorry, I missed this! Are you still there?

Let me look into that. How size print would you want?

I know that ITE2 is in limbo due to a funds shortage. Selling prints like this might help bring in some funds since the artwork is already done. Anything over and above the cost of actually creating the print could be funneled into game development. A post on the Patreon account would likely get some initial attention and hopefully people will spread the word from their via their own social media accounts.

Probably around 11x17 to preserve the rectangualr aspect ratio.
