Man, this is really ridiculous, just because I wanted to say I had tried other copies of the game someone closes the topic... I am not asking for anyone to put links for me to download the "abandonware", I was just asking for help to make it work, and I know it can work cause I used to play using these same files years ago in Win95/98. As I couldn't make it work again using DOSBox, I tried other copies to see if there was something wrong with my game, just that. I don't even remember where the files I had came from, I had several original games in floppies back there and maybe this game came from original floppies too, but just because I wanted to tell the problem was happening with many copies of the game this shit happens now!
Also I think it's not against the rules to talk (only talk) about piracy, if it was the case… And people were not giving me any pirated games through the forum, I was only asking for help! For files anyone can use PM's, if it's the case...
And some people talk as if they had never downloaded a game... I agree the forum should not "support abandonware", but that's not what I was asking for and that's not the subject of that topic. The TIM2 topic should be reopened cause it was nonsense to close it!

There's a reason why we don't like supporting "Abandonware" games: we never know if those games are complete/correctly configured. Supporting games which could be "broken" to begin with because files are missing or configs have been made incorrectly doesn't make any sense.

That's surely not up to YOU to decide. If you are using an original copy of
the game send a PM to an admin here and explain your case.

That's why I said "SHOULD"... I just think it’s hypocrisy to act like that cause anyone can pretend to have an original game and get the help from you guys, and when someone try to be sincere (I was too innocent) this kind of thing happens…
And I said it shouldn’t be closed because in the forum’s rules I think it’s not said that we can’t talk about piracy or related things, if people are not posting piracy links or stuff like that, then following the rules that topic shouldn’t be closed, the rules should be the same for everyone, even if no one is going to answer my questions, just that.
About any missing files, I don't think it is the case, the game starts but the freezes in the loading clock screen, and as I said, I used to play with these files...

Common sense.

Directions posted above, no point in "discussing" that.
