Hello Everyone, been a member here for a while but not very active. I have a few old dos games that I have decided to get rid of and rather than deal with Ebay I thought that maybe someone here might like to have them. Not looking to sell or trade--no money involved here. Not some kind of weird scam. Just want them to go to someone that will use and appreciate them. I'd hate to just trash them.

If someone wants them please message me with your address or just zip code and I will see if I can afford the shipping---I pay the shipping cost. I live in East Tennessee so the closer you are the cheaper it will be for me to mail them.

Iron Assault--full retail box--cd and manual

The Perfect General--full retail box--cd,manual and a map

Lemmings--full retail box--2- 3.5"disks--manual

BatteyDisk--sealed retail box--supposed to save your cmos settings on old computers--maybe useful to someone

If interested let me know--thanks

Sent you an inquiry.

Going to let this thread stay open as there is no monetary transaction taking place and I think it's a nice gesture by the OP.

I would also be interested if OP is in the EU and dickkickem passes on it

How did BatteryDisk work?

Can't seem to see a way to reply to messages so I'll do it here I guess--be easy on me boys--I'm old and dumb. The lemmings disk seems to be unreadable , even the back up for some reason. They worked last year but they are old. The BatteryDisk is a program that backs up cmos info on AT and XT computers but I don't know if the floppy on it will be usable either. The other 2 games are CD based and seem ok.

I'll still take the Lemmings copy and maybe the other 2 games too if you can afford to ship them!

If BatteyDisk is potentially available I can pay shipping for it if the person that gets the lot does not want it. I want to check it out 😀

dickkickem--message me a mailing address--I'll mail the games next week--hope you enjoy them

keropi--I don't think the forum will allow such transactions but I think I will see if I can image the BatteryDisk and upload it --if the floppies are any good

The company that produced BatteryDisk was International Systems, Chicago. It appears to have been on sale in 1995-7.

OK, so the software is going to dickkickem though most all the floppy disks were a real problem. The lemmings disks are not reliable and the batterydisk program says that the free demonstration period is over when I run setup even though it was a sealed retail box with a register card so I don't know--thanks guys

Thanks Errius, I tried it on my P3 maybe that makes a difference but I don't see how

can you post an image of the floppy?

sorry keropi, it's in the mail to dickkickem and I couldn't do anything with that floppy--pretty frustrating. maybe he can do something with it.

no worries - still awesome you gifted these things!
