I'm afraid that all the downloads on this site are illegal.
It's just that we can get away with it (most of the time) as the copyright holders don't care.

Great so me thinking it is legal gets me into trouble?

THANKS ABONDONIA! :tai:

Does it say anywhere that it's legal? No, it doesn't.

In fact, the site clearly states that Abandonware is illegal in the FAQ and in numerous threads dotted around the forums.

Just a friendly piece of advice: Do read about abandonware and it's legal status. You'll see that every abandonware site, Abandonia included, operates in the "no-man's land" between copyright holders' rights and the Law/copyright holders' lack of interest in those rights. Abandonware is, has always been, and (probably) will always be illegal.

To anyone having save problems: In the directory where you have disc.bat create a folder named DISCWLD and in to that folder create a folder named SAVE. It should save and Dosbox shoudn't give an error. Enjoy!

Wonderful!

BTW, there is a version on HOTU with full voices... even better :)
[/b]
Any chance of getting those voices over? :whistling: Is it a matter of size?

The Fifth Horseman 22-08-2006 04:03 PM

It's a matter of two things:
1. Size - the voice-over version is about 120 MB, which makes it a tad unwieldy.
2. HOTU's rip seems to have been done specially for their site by one of their associates. Simply wouldn't be fair to just grab it and put it up here.

Mighty Midget 22-08-2006 04:15 PM

About HOTU, I agree. It's their archive. I was just looking for alternative ways of getting the speech.

EDIT: I see that my other post had some bad choise of words...

Potatoe 22-08-2006 04:16 PM

Having some issues with sound... When I try to run VDM sound it crashes my computer.. Can you get the music to play without VDM sound?
