Ask at AR. They are responsible for the freeware downloads.

even though you find scummvm "annoying", because of GUI? it does a much better job with emulating the games that it can emulate than dosbox

Default Found what I wanted!

Well, the people at AR did something, which unfortunately was just another mirror for the files without executables. But nevermind, I did some Googling (why didn't I do this earlier? ) and found what I wanted. :thumbs:

It's not very faithful to how the games were supposed to run... in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, you can save/load when you are not supposed to, and ScummVM's GUI won't show the IQ points. Plus, the GUI is a big "YOU ARE PLAYING THIS THROUGH SCUMMVM" self-reference. And the original GUIs enhance the retro atmosphere.
