What OS are you using? These games were made with The Games Factory, which is ancient software from the 90's, so it may be an incompatibility issue. It might also have something to do with the opening videos used in the other Mr. Pence games, as I recall NEW! Mr. Pence being one of the only games that didn't have an opening video. There are remasters of Mr. Pence 3 & 4 available on MFGG which were done in Clickteam Fusion, so they might work better than these.
i'm using windows 10. i did figure out they were made with the games factory through testing with them for a bit
mr pence 1 doesn't have an opening video yet that one crashes too... ill probably just play the remastered versions of 2, 3 and 4. as for 1 and 5 i'll see if i can get them working with a windows xp or vista emulator. are there remasters/alternate versions for those ones? if not that's okay
cheers for the response btw i didn't think u were still active here. your stuff is really influential to me and my brothers
Mr. Pence 1 & 5 are included in the "Museum of Mr. Pence" remaster collection alongside NEW! Mr. Pence, all of which were made with Clickteam Fusion. I should warn you though that the Mr. Pence 2 remaster was made with TGF (I believe it was the only remaster made with it). Now that I know you were using Windows 10 I'm not entirely sure if it's a compatibility issue, I used Windows 7 at the time I made most of these games, and the last time I've attempted to run them in Windows 10 they seemed to work fine on my end. Either way I'm afraid there isn't much else I can do about this.
