Ok, so I want to play this crusty old game again. However, it occurred to me that it's on 5.25" and I lack such a glorious drive in this modern era we all live in now. Of course, I do have a 3.5" yet but that's of little consolation in this situation...

So, I'm asking for an extra special favor from someone more "fortunate". Pretty please send me an archive of these disks (PM me I guess....). Here's a photo to prove that I own this fabulous title. I really don't want to own a 5.25" drive again if it can be avoided! Back before I got rid of the drive I think I dumped the disks onto a CD but it is apparently lost...

And before it is asked, yes I tried a evil copy from the intarwebz, but it freezes up and the Tandy mode fails to work at all so it must be messed up....

I will ignore the childish tone of your comment in the hope you'll grow up and understand the basic problem one day. But, unfortunately for you, i _can_ go bitchy. The basic problem with this post is exactly the same as with the other one. The photos are no proof of ownership, they could've been taken from an ebay auction or from some website. And even if there would be a proof of ownership - it'd still be illegal in many jurisdictions to make copies of the original media and transfer them to someone else. WolverineDK, if you lack the intellectual strength to understand the basic problem in respect to VOGONS in general and DOSBox in particular, please do us all a favour and keep your comments to yourself. This comment of yours was neither helpful, nor enlightening.

I believe the rules for posts on VOGONS should be expanded. VOGONS should not be a trading station for copied games. The fact that we're dealing with old games doesn't make any difference at all. In principle, it doesn't matter whether someone is asking for a copy of an old DOS game or, for example, Fallout 3.

still it wouldn't be allowed.
might prove fun in riaa cases though. Yeah I shared that file with somebody, but he already had it somewhere else so I can share it legally 😀
