Someone has problems with eye of the beholder (DOS) running with scumm. When I change of stage game asks me for a password and when I write it emulator close. Need help please
 
It's probably a copy protection scheme. Back in the day that's how games used to do it. They came with manuals and expected a specific answer as a sort of proof of purchase.

In a lot of cases these days these protections are internally bypassed (you get asked questions but it will take any answer and let you continue anyway). I'll see if I can help you source a pdf copy of the manual or something.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. Can you maybe try to run it without Scumm and only use Dosbox to see if it works?

Also, take a look here https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Eye_of_the_Beholder

Thank you for answer, I test it with dosbox and works perfect, the problem is scumm. I can play it in dosbox but of course dosbox don't have the options of scumm
 
I see, yes. I understand SCUMMVM being more convenient. So having the answers from the manual doesn't help any? maybe trying to source the game from elsewhere would do the trick.

Keep that in mind when expecting a reply from the people on it,
You can also start a new thread instead. This is just a heads-up, bumping is allowed in this forum.
