I have downloaded this game and got it running, but my only problem is that I don't have a joystick, and the game seems to require one for the 1st player to play. The second player works with the keyboard, but I can't get the 1st player to move at all, keyboard or mouse. And... I don't have a joystick! Does anyone know if there is any way to fix this??

Here. This should answer most of your questions.

Default how to run the game

Had the same problem, tried running caveman.exe but asked for password which I didnt have. I had to run the "start" file.

How I did it: (5min to do)
1. Downloaded DOSBOX .72. Google DOSBOX and it should be the first one there.

2. Click start> Dosbox 0.72 > DosBox config.

3. After opening the dosbox notepad, scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM where you see:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

4. Type the following:
mount C C:\<TYPE THE DIRECTORY WHERE YOUR GAMES ARE LOCATED HERE>
C:
CLS

5. Open DosBox. The directory should already be at your games folders (See step 4.)

6. Type: "Cd caveman" (or whatever the folder is called) <enter> "start" <enter>

I wish these games would come with a manual for Keyboard instructions that can be download. How to command the players, and change sound, video mode etc.

There are many manuals that will be added in the days/weeks/months to come. Scanning a manual can be time consuming, though.

Software&OS incompabilities.

Possibly because Windows doesn't recognise dos programmes? Also, why did you register with your email address? We purposely discourage emails to prevent spammers annoying our users. Oh well
