I found Robocod on an abandonware site (if it's ill advised to talk about such here, then I'm sorry.) and decided to give it a go, since I loved it so much as a child. Game's running smooth as butter in DOSBox and it is as fun as I remember it.

However though, I can't exit the game. If I play and press ESC the game takes me back to the start screen with all the penguins.
If I press ESC here, the screen just restarts.

My conf file isn't really that much tweaked. Just the autoexec function so I can run it with my shortcut.

@echo off
mount c ".."
c:
cls
call robocod.bat
exit

shortcut wrote:

-conf "..\robocod.conf" -noconsole -c exit

Any ideas?
For now I have to alt+enter and exit it that way.
