    and

    Spedball 2 from http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/592


    Use them both and it should work.

    Hmmmm Dex Love. :thumbup:



    Now to find Elite as that is the finest game in the history of Gaming.

    Just remembered that i have an Amiga packed away in the spare room, suppose i could get the game downloaded for it but not sure how you would get it onto the Amiga floppy as i am sure it's formatted differently to the PC?

    I loved the Cinemaware games [:D]

    Yes the Monkey Island games were classics, but the very first LucasArts (LucasFilms at the time) adventure was the awesome Manic Mansion on the C=64
