Is there a save game in this game?

[wormpaul]

A brilliant game...

I love the races on the beach and the races on the table :P

[Unknown Hero]

I think there are no save games :(

[FreeFreddy]

No option to save games. Just use your skill and you don't need it. :P ;)

[Unknown Hero]

AND YOU DON'T NEED IT???
I WILL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET TO DIFFICULT LEVELS!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[FreeFreddy]

Well, I was able to play it through at easy difficulty. That was enough for me to have the fun, so I didn't try it out at the higher ones. ;)

i always play the higher levels...most games are just too easy on the easy mode..

How do you know what symbol to select for the password?

[noel]

The password on Micro Machines.

[JJXB]

I already downloaded it from CGA (Classic Gaming Archive),
the one there was cracked, is this one?

[Iron_Scarecrow]

We have this. OMG OMG OMG :drool: :drool: :drool:
I never knew.

[Cameron]

Ok, How do you play this game, I mean get it in to the computer and running. If it is cracked I need to know how to get around that F****** code thing that keeps coming up.

[Maftík]

Although second and third is better, one is also a cool game. Especially when you play with friend(s).

Sorry I can't reply in Polish, but from what I understan you have the problem with the chart at the begining of the game and can't start it.
The game isn't copyprotected (it's cracked) - you don't need to worry about the chart!

Just press ENTER and the game will run normaly!

[Guest]

Thank you for uploading this game. I am searching this game since 1998 - no joke. But I stopped searching it after I had not found this game on the Internet, now I have found it. Thank you.

[schmock]

Is there any possibility to get it running properly on XP?
It's running MUCH too slowly!

thx

[JimmyJ]

Try dosbox yet?

So, in all these years it never crossed your mind to buy it? :wall:

[Guest_Fred]

I have played this game on my good old Amiga many times. It's a great game.

[Guest]

Do you try to play with Dosbox? :cheers:

[Garrettz]

I can't get this game to run, i downloaded, extracted all files, and when i try to run it i get a msg saying "The system is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications"
any ideas on how to fix this?

[Shrek]

And what "system" do you have? a few details on that could help us helping you (man, what a weird sentence I got there... :crazy: )

[Coincident]

I've been trying to play this game on Windows XP, but it runs too slow.
I've even tried with a VDMS shortcut, but it still ran with a huge slow-down.

Has anyone else had any problems with this?
:sos:

[Mighty Midget]

What's the speed/ram of your machine? Dosbox eats a lot of resources.

[Guest]

it's a pentium 4, 3.2ghz with 256mb ram
But I'm not using DOSbox, I guess that's the problem huh :(

I don't like DOSbox because some DOS games do not run in it (for ex. Abuse, Blood)
And so far I've managed to get every game running properly with VDMS...

I'll post the VDMS shortcut here if I can get this thing playing.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Almost every game will run allright in DosBox with a little tweaking here and there. The ones that have problems are those with high base requirements.

Micro Machines should run like a charm in DosBox, though.

Start by having a look at the official FAQ (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php) on the DosBox site.
Basic Setup and Installation (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Basic+Setup+and+Installation+of+Dos Box)
Command Line (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=CommandLine)
Z instead of C at the command prompt (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=FAQ%2FI+have+got+a+Z)
Internal Programs (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=Internal+Programs) (important, especially MOUNT)
Most of the stuff in there is not really needed, but you would do best to familiarize yourself with the specific topics I linked to.
The mounting of your DosBox games directory, switching the promt to the emulated C: drive and clearing the screen from previous commands can all be executed from the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=dosbox.conf), so you won't have to re-type them every time round.
Frontend programs (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=DOSBoxFrontends) can help running DosBox with varying configurations for different games.
For both a more accessible user interface and oldschool feel, you can use Norton Commander (get it from our programs and utilities page (http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs) - scroll down to the bottom to find it). NC might seem awkward at first, but in fact it is a very functional genuine DOS era file manager frontend. It has a plethora of functions that will help you in navigating around the directories, while still retaining the command prompt.

[Guest]

that s not working. i pass the symbols at the start but then only comes a blue screen.

[Guest]

everything's alright but there's one thing that makes me a little bit angry...the game is working very slow and it is almost impossible to play it. How to make it faster?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Are you running it in DosBox? Then just crank up the cycles.

[Villas]

Hi,

When I have installed the program and opens it the start page appears, as I remember from the Amiga - but when I push ENTER nothing happens?

Why is that?

I don't use DOSbox when I run the program, is that necesarry? I run it in XP.

The reason why I haven't tried with DOSbox is that I have hard time using, I simply can't press ":" because I'm using a danish keyboard and I can't figure out which button(s) to press to make the ":"

Will anybody help me?

Thanx

The game will run properly in dosbox so you should try it

Not "neccessary" per se, but by doing that you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

You can open DosBox.conf and change the line responsible for keyobard layout to help you with that.

You can configure drive mounting (and changing between mounted drives) to be executed automatically. In DosBox.conf, add any commands you want to be automated at the end of file after [autoexec].

Hi everybody!
I can't seem to find the right keys to play this game. :sos: Can someone refresh my memory? :ok:

Thanks!

*EDIT*: ok, this was a stupid question, since keys are editable. :brain:

[Guest]

Excuse, when I try to installa the game using DOSBox, appear this message:

Copyng File ....
Error: Reading File
An error occured
The program has not been installed

What can I do???

Thanks a lot

Dany

[The Fifth Horseman]

First of all, read the Beginner's Guide (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14913).

Second, please describe the procedure you used - as precisely as possible.

[Guest]

I have win XP, for this reason I downloaded DOSBox and I set up it rightly, reading tutorial, because other games work perfectly.
In this case I don't succeeded :(

[The Fifth Horseman]

Did you try to run the game _without_ installing it?
Did you try redownloading? Perhaps you just have a corrupted copy.

[Guest]

Thank you The Fifth Horseman, I'm going to read the guide, see you later :*

[Essential21]

Hi, I'm Dany, who try to play Micro Machines :D
I downloaded the game from Abandonia, I think the file is right.
Then I'v

[Essential21]

Excuse me, I said:
then I expanded the files with Winrar and put them in a folder named Microm.
I opened DOSbox, entered in the directory of the game, named Microm, and typed: install
at this point I read this: if you want to install the windows version then please do the following: press N to the following prompt, Run windows as normal, choose "run" from the "file" menu of program manager, type "A:\setup.exe"
(I did'nt do this, I've not the floppy of the game and A is usually the name of floppy drive)
so I type Y to continue to install in DOS but An Error occurred...etc etc
-_-
Can you tell me where do I mistake?

[Luchsen]

Simply type micro instead of install. But you aroused my curiosity: Which path did you enter after typing Y?

[Essential21]

Hi
I've typed Micro instead of Install, no result, I read
C:\MicroM

When I open DOSBox, the path is this:
C:\
I type DIR

Directory of C:\
. DIR 24-08-2007 13:00
.. DIR 21-08-2007 00:47
GODS DIR 22-08-2007 13:00
MICROM DIR 24-08-2007 22:37
ULTIMA DIR 22-08-2007 22:17
0 File(s) 0 bytes
5 dir(s) 110,540,800 bytes free
C:\

and here, I type cd Microm, appear this

C:\MICROM

and here I type Install with the risult you know, or Micro as you suggested, but without risult -_-

[Essential21]

I succeed!!!
I deleted all files and expanded again the folder micro machines.zip
I saw a folder not expanded name: GAME1, so I expanded this folder too, then opened DOSBox, type cd Microm then type install and...
now I'm playing perfectly!
Thanks all you :D
Excuse for disturb!
Many kisses!

Dany

Interesting game concept, racing games that include small cars are always so much fun, I don't know why, they just are. :)
