For "Syndicate" I would suggest cycles=9600 (that's more or less equal to a 486/66) and memsize=8.

The memory bit is because I used to have game crashes between missions when I added more memory.

I'd still like to have the reduced "Jurland" manual. Can you post it somewhere?

Demon Attack (PC Booter)

I'm looking for a disk image of the PC Booter version of this game. I already have the PCjr cart image, but I'm told is missing things from the disk version, such as the title screen. Any takers?

If the game is a RIP, under DOSBox try to mount the game folder BOTH as a harddrive and a CD-ROM. This will help with rips that still need MSCDEX.EXE to be present in order to work.
