That’s a bit outside my knowledge, sorry — of course, it’s entirely possible that this is just a bug that hasn’t been fixed yet; right on the main page of the Pentagram site, they’re pretty open about the fact that the game can be passed, but that not everything is working.

Now, Ultima 8 is one of the titles I’m less familiar with, so I don’t recall that area so well; is there another exit that you might make use of? And if so, does it work?

Thanks withstand, it worked.

Now unfortunately it seems I’ve run into another serious problem, that of crashing after I exit the east gate to the necromancer in the cemetary right after I retrieval the sacrificial dagger. Every save game I try it crashes going northbound east of tenebrae after I get the dagger. I don’t suppose there is a way to teleport to him? Maybe that will solve the problem.

You should have a file called Pentagram.ini in or near the same folder as the Pentagram application. Open this, and look for this line:

[pentagram]
defaultgame=u8
fullscreen=no

Change fullscreen=no to fullscreen=yes and you should be good.

How do you play in fullscreen mode on OSX?

At risk of seeming patronizing, I have to ask the obvious question to begin with: do you have the game data files for the original Ultima 8 (that is, do you have Ultima 8 either on diskette or CD)?

I’m having a little trouble installing Pentagram on my Mac – probably because I am new to it. I can up until the point where it asks me to move the game data in directory name ultima8, or to alter pentagram.ini – what game data is it referring to? I’ve tried creating a folder with the name ultima8 and placing the pentagram folder and the pentagram.ini into it, but neither seems to work, so I’m obviously missing something. Care to enlighten me?
