    Anyone know a command or whatever to skip the intro crap?

    If you insist on responding the way people usually do to this type of question, you are more than welcome too. But no, i do not want to have to hit space bar to skip them. And you are more than welcome to continue doing it if you dont mind doing itm but i dont want to do it so, that wraps that up.

    But I would much prefer an answer :smile: Maybe its not possible, but it usually is.

    I suppose you tried since normal games would have an error message concerining non existant files

    For example

    For example, in diablo 2 you just enter a command that executes for the boot up file. I cant exactly remember how, but that skipped all the boot up movies. It very well may be that no one knows or very few know or it isnt possible to prevent them from loading but i bet someone knows :smile: Just depends if they read this and if they take the time to respond.

    Well, Ive just read this, Ill go check the Sierra.CFG, maybe there is something there, or try check the Aranum.cfg files, coz these files contains the configuration of the game, maybe the start-up videos are in there too... :wink:
