OK. So here I am on a XP home system, with a windows 98/Me boot disc, with the downloaded (but not working Z on C drive. What next ?

What about trying to boot and run the game? Hopefully you are using FAT 32 and not NTFS on your C: disc. You will not get to C: otherwise.

C:\ is unfortunately ntfs, but E:\ is fat32 and K:\ is also fat32. (I have 2 HD and a few partitions !) Should I put them on there ?

Sorry mate. Dunno what happened there. Thought it odd it needed another subject ! Not too straight forward, the reply buttons.

@moderators: somebody should merge this three threads together ...

@phil K: As I said: you cannot get to NTFS from your boot disc (actually there are some programs to access NTFS from DOS - but there are other problems with them).
Just put the game somewhere where there is FAT system.

Hey I remember seeing a game I kinda liked in a mag years and years ago and could never remember it's name and its been bugging the hell out of me ever since and I think this Z just might be it I know it was only one letter or something.... can someone post a link to some info / screenshots on this game please ? Typing Z into Google obviously didn't do much 😒

Thanks
