Maiden

Not Running - Sun, 8^th Jan 2023 @ 04:09 -- GeeTee
Spews garbage after displaying the title screen. The same install works fine here, so maybe it wants a different BASICA executable?

HOSER

Runtime file missing - Sat, 7^th Jan 2023 @ 14:08 -- GeeTee
Doesn't start because the BASICA executable is missing. Also, the level filenames contain spaces which causes file not found errors later. Uploaded a fixed version: https://dosgamer.com/upload/uploaded/hoser_1982_fixed.zip

Microsoft Decathlon

Display Problem/CGA - Sat, 7^th Jan 2023 @ 00:47 -- GeeTee
Requries CGA to display right, however this DOS conversion of the game runs properly once you get it started: https://dosgamer.com/games/play/decathlon-13354.html

Decathlon

Not Running - Sat, 7^th Jan 2023 @ 00:45 -- GeeTee

Is it just me or are the bottom few lines cut off and unreadable?

Frogger

Details incorrect - Tue, 27^th Dec 2022 @ 23:48 -- GeeTee
Maybe we need an "Other" problem type, or "My problem is not listed" on the Bug Rpt This version is almost impossible to play with the key layout A=Up, Z=Down, '=Left, `=Right, meaning that to go left you press a key on the far right of the KB and to go right, you press a key on the far left! I have uploaded a patched version that allows you to redefine keys and use a level select, among other things. https://dosgamer.com/upload/uploaded/frogger-[dc][f1]-1983sierra-on-line-inc.-[action]

Year should be 1987 according to the title screens.

David Schulmans Blackjack

Runtime file missing - Tue, 27^th Dec 2022 @ 00:59 -- GeeTee
An instructions doc is missing, so you get a file not found error and quit to the interpreter if you try to view the instructions at the start of the game. Not a big deal really but thought I'd mention it. Wasn't able to find a good replacement.

Conquest

Not Running - Mon, 26^th Dec 2022 @ 12:07 -- GeeTee
See https://dosgamer.com/games/play/conquest-1075.html comments section for description of issue - requires LOADFIX to reduce available RAM. Perhaps this can be fixed with the "early" PC template we discussed. If not, well it's unplayable inline at least.
