Yes, thanks. I already knew about it, but as you said it yourself, you have to master the roll move.

You would need ability, patience, strategy, coolness, and calm in those difficult times of the game.

Well, unfortunately, I’ve never been much of a fan of those moments of great gameplay.

Other examples would be the final phase of DOOM where I used the lever and needed to reach the platform that came up in the middle of monsters of all kinds!

Another was when I played Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.² and needed to activate a lever while the spiral staircases separated!

I found it particularly difficult to defeat the aliens, as they could move like worms from Another World and then change positions. Not to mention that they withstand multiple laser shots. Hey, is not all this cheating?

Hahaha that's basically how I run every game. ISO-mounting is about as complicated as I get.

Well, did you tried to drag-and-drop the executable of the game into the DOSBox shortcut? For me it works almost all the times.

There is a source code patch that adds savestates in DOSBox. DOSBox SVN Daum has it by default if you don't want to compile the executable yourself.

Just in case, is there a way to save the state of the game via dosbox, like you would with emulators?

The game has a Password/Code system to save progress. Dosbox doesn't have savestates.

It should work.

Do you install all your Windows games/programs in the root of your C-drive? No, you don't.

You should always mount the parent folder of all your DOS games as the C-drive in DOSBox, then use the "cd" command to change the directory in DOSBox.

For example, I have:

Code:

mount c d:\dos_c  <= all my DOS games are in d:\dos_c
c:
cd flashb         <= Flashback is in d:\dos_c\flashb
fb.com
