Re: [Audyssey] island game
Yup - also already copied things like directory listing off C: drive into a floppy disk image to double check spelling of some of them - used 7zip to extract contents afterwards - would be nice to also figure out how to do things like change speech rate on the fly/go, using keystrokes, or commands, or something, but, let's see. Also got to now test another game someone else mentioned to me - braminar, which is a full on standalone form of interactive fiction role-playing game - and worked fine now off it's own .flp image...smile Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet... - Original Message - From: Josh k joshknnd1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 10:42 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] island game and now that you can use the virtual floppy you can then do copy a:\*.* c:\dosgames and put your games inside the hard drive of the vm.

[Audyssey] island game sendspace link
Hi, Below is a link where you can get the island game at. The game is about 80k when unzipped. It consists of a single file, island.exe . Run that file to play the game. If it's too hard to play since it was designed for MS-DOS, could a windows version of the game be created? again, see the forwarded message below, to get the island game.
