DOS Games Discussion

Thanks for the assist(s) dosraider. Much appreciated. It's running pretty good now, and the save feature does work (such as it is.....loading a saved game also deletes that saved game, so it can only be reloaded once). Still, I've made it as far as level 8 now. Anyhow, I guess we can put this thread...

Hmmm....this is getting interesting. I downloaded it fresh, as I said. When I opened it, I had the same one you showed the screen pics of.....but NOT the one I've already got. Apparently, there are two of them out there in internetland. The one I've got is actually called "Emerald Miner," ...

All the best....mystified

You give very few info about the file or your gamingsystem, is it an original C64 one ? (*.d64 format?) or is it directly run (ported) in Windows? Do you use an emulator? Thanks for the reply, dosraider. Sorry for the lack of info, but to be honest I'm not an advanced user. As for my gaming system,...

I don't know where I got this (I've had the zip file for years), but decided to try it. It's called Eminer (or, Emerald Miner), and is for the old Commodore 64. When I first start it, I get a blue screen which says: ****COMMODORE 64 BASIC V2**** 64 K RAM SYSTEM 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE READY LOAD &quo...
