Hello everybody,

i found an old game at my parents house we used to play when we were kids.
I managed to copy the files but unfortunately i can't get it running in dosbox:

The SUSUN.EXE program file is damaged -- it has some junk where there should be code (header relocations make this clear). Perhaps you can find a good copy on different media.

Uh too bad .....

This is the only copy i got.
Unfortunately i don't know what the game is actually called.

All i remember is, it was kind of a jigsaw puzzle ... in one level there was a picture of Albert Einstein and his formula E=mc²

It was programmed in compiled BASIC, if that bit of information is of any use.

If the game was on a floppy disk, you could try making an image of the disk, and then maybe the file can be recovered from the image by means other than COPY (as in the case where the primary FAT is messed up).
