What a b*tch to get the save/load working.
Aaaaah the joys of a poorly ported atari game.

That's how I got the save/load working: Go back to the ol'days of atari and the floppy merry go round !!

Copied all files on a floppy.
Mounted floppy drive in dosbox as A:\.
Run game from floppy in dosbox.

Saving:
Hit 'save icon' , switch 'gaming' floppy with an empty one
Hit F6 and give savingpoint a name
Hit enter
To continue game switch back to 'gaming' floppy.

Load:
Hit load icon
Switch 'gaming' floppy with 'save' floppy
Hit F10 to load savegames list
Hit F1-F2-F3..... to choose wanted save point and hit F6
You will get message 'insert VGA disk2'
Switch back to 'gaming' floppy to continue playing.

Maybe I remembered some Fx keys wrong, but don't think so ....)

I may hope you still have a working floppy drive ......but the gaming/save/load can work with a virtual floppy or an external USB floppy drive.
Fact is: apparently the game refuses to save on the same floppy as the game is, you need an empty floppy.
Savegames are named ****.mde , approx 13KB each.



Wouldn't save/load whatever I did when run from C:\ prompt
The game is not interesting enough to spend much time on it trying things out. WHAT A BORING GAME !!!!!!

[Edit]
Maybe that can help:
Game also runs in VPC2007/MsDos 6.22 and then you could use VPC's save state as kinda savepoint.
*maybe*
