I don't remember what the default settings are but if you press the "Esc" key you get a menu where you can check & re-define the keys.

mount e C:\Zool2 -t CDRom

No, you don't need a real CD-ROM drive. Mount the game directory as cd-rom drive E:\ in DOSBox.

mount e x:\path\zool2 -t cdrom

NEED HELP!

I don't understand something in the readme file: "The virtual CD-Rom drive is
necessary to make the game respond to a virtual drive as though it were an actual physical drive.
This bypasses the CD-Rom protection. The game can also be played by starting ZOOL2.EXE directly from
the virtual drive instead of the ZOOl2.BAT file."

Is this telling me that I must have a real cd-rom, which I don't have, to run the game?
I'm sorry, it's hard to me to understand some English "words".

Zool 2 update

It doesn't appear this has been touched upon in a while, but that's what Abandonia is supposed to be about, keeping the games alive!

There was an earlier post mentioning a game crash in level four. This confused me because the game crashes during Level 2, Stage 1. Then it dawned on me. Each Level has three stages so if you count each new session / section, this would be four.

The download on the Zool 2 page does lock up as was indicated. The CloneCD in the ISO Cellar does not. I really think this game is worth playing, especially with the additional animated scenes that are available with the CloneCD version. The copy protection bypass is also very well done; no copy protection screen is displayed requiring a keypress or other pass-code entry. If you didn't know the protection scheme was supposed to be there, you would never know that it isn't.

To get Zool 2 up and running, download the compressed file, unpack the contents to a hard drive directory of your choice and imgmount the directory. NOTE: DOSBox must be configured for vgaonly and set to a number cycles no greater than 2600 (approx.). The number cycles in excess of this setting messes up animation display, although the gameplay still functions 100%.

I like this game quite a bit and I have just become acquainted with it. It may seem boring to some, but I consider easy games to be boring. It may be too hard for others, but I consider the difficulty a challenge. It may also be considered too quickly paced, but I love to hone multi-tasking data tracking skills. When you're watching the clock, the percentage of the goal you have achieved, the direction of the exit and trying to keep your speed demon character from making a wrong move or getting clobbered by a multitude of enemies? Sounds like fun to me!!

Back to the little heroes. I haven't decided if I like Zool or Zooz better yet.

Luchsen According to DOSBox Zool 2 is fully supported since DOSBox 0.65.

The Fifth Horseman Well, yes, but that was written in 2004. There have been several updates of DOSBox since then, improving compatibility with many games by leaps and bounds.
