Hi all.

I'm trying to play Codename iceman and no matter what I do it asks me to insert disk.
I loaded the game into c: drive (mount c d:\iceman)
I tried loading the game to d: drive as cdrom (mount d d:\iceman)
And as floppy disk ( mound d d:\iceman -t floppy)

and nothing help. It keeps asking for a disk.

By the way, it was the first game I've played 😀

Thx

I'm not exactly sure what you're doing, but programs on floppy disks expect to be run from drive A, not drive D.

Iceman was never released on CD. You are missing files.

The game is located on d:\iceman.
I tried to mount the game to drive A but it still asks to insert disk.

Are you using the original disks that the game was distributed on, or did you just download this from somewhere?

If you just downloaded it from somewhere, then as Mr. Collector suggests, you may have found an incomplete download that will never run correctly.
