Hello, I think it is still possible to directly address the WD2797 chip after disabling DOS on a Dragon computer. I seem to remember a friend of mine creating such routines back then, so he could load pieces of code that would require the whole RAM, including the DOS memory pages. He might have done...

A nice job, for sure! But I still prefer the PMode4 display, that is much easier to "read". There are not so many games that look great under PMode3 ("Lunar Rover Patrol" being a notable exception).

Hello, and welcome! If that game was in French, then it's likely it was either "Graal Quest" or its sequel, "Creator Quest".
