DOS Games Discussion

Hi, I have been trying to play the Chasm DOS game, but there appears to be a major glitch bug. I cannot control the view because it keeps shaking & looking up. It is hard to move around as a result because the view won't stand still, it keeps looking up, I tried looking ahead, but it keeps shaking & it keeps looking upwards without me pressing the arrow keys. Is there a way to fix it?

You're trying to play in browser on this page, right?

The game thinks that you have a joystick attached -- this is an idiosyncrasy of JS-DOS, the browser version of DOSBox -- and it receives "phantom commands" from that joystick.

Here's the solution: when the game starts, press Esc to get to the menu, and exit to DOS prompt, then type to disable the joystick. Then type CHASM to run the game again.

Cool, thanks, will try it out.
