A few weeks ago, I had a spot of luck and found a boxed copy of
The Immortal at a local flea market. It was in wonderful condition, had seemingly every little advertisement and such, and the two disks are in great shape. However, there's one small flaw... the two disks are the 5.25" kind.
Now, I know some are thinking, "Then why'd you buy it?". Well, besides giving me legal permission to own a backup copy of the game (thus letting me play the IBM version without gray areas), I thought that since so many different computers have various TOSEC sites where disk images are hosted (Amiga, Atari ST, Apple IIGS, etc), that surely there was a place that hosted disk images for the old DOS games. Well, I've spent over two weeks looking, and I've come up utterly empty handed. Sure, there's a handy order form in the box, but I'm pretty sure EA has stopped selling 3.5" copies of their old PC games by now :amused:
So here's my request...
Does anyone here actually own a 3.5" disk copy (or own and have the ability to play the 5.25" version) of
The Immortal, and would you be willing to provide me with disk images of the game so I can save them as back ups? I'd like to be able to install the game myself, rather than relying on hacked, pre-installed versions of the game from abandonware sites (no offense to this fine place).
If there's any question about whether or not I own the game, ask Romano.
Edit: Should anyone have the IBM/DOS game, but not know how to go about making a disk image of it, just go
here, and grab the trial version of WinImage. It's easy to use.
