Diadem of Maunstraut

I noticed yesterday playing DoM the draw distance appears to be obscured by drawing a successive number of black semi-transparent overlays to the screen. I could've sworn some of the Japanese SoM games I've played had hardware "fogging" happening, but it could've simply been an oversight on my part. I don't think hardware fogging would've been unheard of for DX for SoM at the time, but I could not say for certain.

I'm sorry to be so casual btw about remaking SoM (from scratch if I said so) ...it just happens I'm involved in developing some state of the art technologies and a SoM is actually a very simple demo of what exactly said tech is primarily designed to do. So it should be a happy marriage. I won't ever be making a SoM game with the original tool, but I will probably see that all of SoM's features are carried over... so unless I can farm off some very high level (ie. easy) programming work to someone else, I will probably become intimately familiar with SoM at that time. I have plodded thru just about every SoM screen however.... though I did have some display difficulties which John has been coaching me through. I'd hoped to be able to use Virtual PC (which I thought would also probably let me put SoM games in a window) but I found out late last night my Windows OS was not supported.
