well I have cosmoserve starship piramids of mars and a few others lostin space I think The game I will most miss is cosmoserve. though thinking of it now it would be weird to play it in a windows environment. dos related screens don't work so well anyway, in hugo playing futureboy the screen in the fake dos window of the computer does not read. using the solution file I am able to solve that part of the game but I can't muck with the interface which is a shame. This is one reason why I still wish I had a dos system. At 09:39 p.m. 5/04/2010, you wrote: >Sean what agt files have you? I have a game called sos, son of stage fright >but can';t play it now.
