I know i,m sad but after a bout of nostalgia i have an overwhelming urge to get hold of a pd game i did on the amiga way back at beginning of the 90's. It was a 17 bit PD disk with the number 2355 and the game was quiz challenge. Do you think it would still be possible to get hold of a copy of it?

Direct link to file: http://ftp.back2roots.org/back2roots..._vol3/2355.DMS There it is in DMS format though, so you could unpack it somehow Last edited by DrF; 26 September 2007 at 19:43. |

You last used WinUAE in 1998? LOL! You mean WinUAE 0.8.8.
That was nine years ago! Its changed a helluva LOT since then. Emulation is pretty much perfect now and yes it can boot directly from DMS files. |

Its sad but true, as I only used it to make DMS files and then transfer them with CrossDos, later on I went onto TwinExpress. I was more into that other emulator Fellow as it ran better on my Cyrix 686 I have WinUAE again now I think someone should bang together a guide for graybenham so he can boot the DMS he wants then. graybenham are you familer with WinUAE? |

Geez a blast from my past
Thanks for your help guys. I got it to play and it damned near brought a tear to my eye. 1: cos its a touch of nostalgia and 2: its programmed terribly lol
But hey, it has its charm as my first ever attempt and porttrays beautifully my humble amiga beginnings. Thanks again |

I've tried looking on back2roots for the disk you wanted but I couldn't find it in the pdsoft folder.
Maybe someone else will be able to find it for you. |
