Have you tried downloading it again or did you look in windows explorer and see if the files were there. |

I've downloaded it three times now and it still won't work! 
I wonder if it's just missing files, hasn't there been a few probs with that on here before?
Thanks anyway, hope it's sorted out soon though... |

after much more fiddling.. seems to be something to do with the type of disks i'm using... the original was a 360k disk..
the write procedure is always failing on a 1.44 formatted disk (if i use my win 98 pc) -- it did write marginally better on a XP machine (but that went berserk at my 720k format attempts)
back on my win98 machine, tried 720k format.. A PERFECT WRITE (but aaargh!!) an imperfect read when the game booted (read/write error message straight away) -- it's completely reversed itself?
going around in circles...
at least i'm making some small progress... don't be afraid to reply, folks |

i grabbed the img formats of the game from retrograde, and used img2dsk utility to convert them back into disks.. it worked..
img2dsk (img format) seems better than teledisk (td0 format), so try that..
 thanks for all your help, bwahaha!
