Just done.

However the archive (which I downloaded from somewhere) seems to be patched, presumably not by the game authors although I really don't know. The patch contains a program that changes the CGA palette. This game originally uses the ugly one with pink (yes, even if you emulate a CGA card in DOSBox, so it makes no difference).

I separated the patch from the archive, but there's one file the patch must have overwritten and I don't have the original, so I had to leave it. Maybe we can find an original archive from someone or somewhere else, in the meantime Arlesya can play this to review the game.

There's also a fan-made patch that changes the graphics to 16 colours:

I don't think any of these patches belong in Abandonia? (Nevertheless the program that changes the CGA palette may work with any game--and it works just the same with DOSBox emulating the default SVGA.)

Anyway I also found a nice homebrew extra (maps) in the same download, and separated it too; that on the other hand will be a nice addition.

The patch also advises that the game must be played with American keyboard layout.
