[946] 1.90 quest messages play secret sound.

I tried to, both with and without DOSBox, but it wouldn't run at all without DOSBox, and DOSBox crashed the instant I touched the sword.

Looks like its not a bug after all. Seems there are secret flags there to get rid of the message box background. I was starting to wonder why no other 1.90 quests seemed to be doing it, and that explains why.

Yeah, probably due to the limitations of 1.90 there. Definitely an unusual way to do it, but at least it seemed to have gotten the job done.

That would be a hardware issue. v1.90's Allegro is so old, it won't work on any new graphics card, no matter what you do. BTW, it crashes when you pick up any sword or the letter (haven't tried anything else).
