I got the file from Abandonia, clicked the red button and saved the zip file. Everytime I tried to zip it, it gave me the screensavers, so I'm not sure I'm zipping the right thing or something else.
Thank you both so much! I just installed DOSBox, now I'm gonna attempt a DOS version of XCOM/UFO.
The DOS language is coming back to me now. I learned it when I was six years old, pretty nostalgic for me.
One more thing, just for kicks, whats the best hex editor program to use? I found some codes to alter the game (like for instance embelzzle the world for like 1.62 billion dollars or something, and also changing the values of stuff in the game) and I wanna try them out. I don't have much experience with the hexidecimal code or hex editors, when I edited my game years ago it was easy enough to do, the code was supplied.
Thanks again y'all,
Paul
EDIT: [five minutes later] SUCCESS!!!!!! I have UFO now!!! Thank you all so much! It feels so good to get something right for once!
