   Original version of the 1995 French action-adventure Time Gate: Knight's Chase (also knows as either just "Knight's Chase" or "Time Gate" depending on the region) and its 1996 update that included an SVGA option, and Windows 3.x/95 support. #DOSGaming #NotDOS

     It appears that all art has been "touched up", sometimes to the point of being nearly entirely redone.

     For decades I've heard of a similar update for Alone in the Dark 3, allegedly subtitled "Ghosts in Town", but I'm yet to find an actual archived version of it. Please check your collections.

     Well, it turns out someone *did* upload Windows version of Alone in the Dark 3 to the Internet Archive, and there's absolutely nothing special about it. It renders everything in 320x200, and you have an option to stretch that to either 640x400, or 960x600. Boooooring.
     However, it also comes bundled with a multi-lingual Windows version of Jack in the Dark, which I didn't even know existed. Same limitations apply.

     @dosnostalgic kind of odd that only the Windows version had an SVGA option in 1995/1996.
