Well if there's any way to load a printer/screen dumper routine, such as Scrimper or Scrndump or grabbit and still be able to load the GAME so your screen dumper doesn't go away, then yes you should be able to dump the screen. I've dumped (in color) the title screen and playfield for Chessmaster 2000 this way.. However if the game disk requires that you reboot the computer to load the game, then when you do that, your memory-resident screen dumper will go away, and you'll not be able to print the screen. You might also do a DIR of the game disk and see if the title screen is there as a freestanding picture file. If that's the case you could maybe use a p/d viewer or a commercial paint program to look at the screen and print it, but only if the title screen is freestanding. It could be imbedded in the program itself in which case you are basically out of luck. Grabbit's claim to be able to "Print any Screen" is a misnomer since it makes the assumption that you can hold Grabbit in memory while you load other software. On a game that requires re-booting to load, this just isn't possible (yet).
