For the moment Abandonia is moving over to a new server and the registrations have been temporarily disabled. You will be able to register an account when the move is complete. We apologize for inconvenience.

First, DOSBox can only run EXE, COM and BAT files.
Second, your explanation of the problem does not indicate what the problem actually is. Please tell us what were you exactly trying to do, what commands you entered and what didn't work. If there are any error messages, Include their exact text.

First, enter that directory:
cd c:\games\dave2

Then input the name of the exe and it will work.

If you have a non-standard keyboard layout, you can change the layout used by DOSBox by modifying the conf file as well.

Thumbs up Oh.my.goodness...

Yet another wonderful game resurrected from the mists of time by Abandonia. I can hardly believe my eyes. Lotus?! After all these years? :woot2:

I played this as a wee sprout, with PC-speaker FX no less! In fact I can still hear the bleepy tunes that made me bounce in my seat. Haven't heard better music in that medium ever since.

*modifies dosbox configuration*

...and there we go.

Playing now and reviving many wonderful memories. Thank you Kosta so much for uploading this.

Default Lotus 3

I loved more the Lotus 1-2 on AMIGA, but this is a very good conversion on pc.
The RECS throws it a lot!
Anyway, I recommend everyone using an emulator to run AMIGA versions..
Worth it because the 1st & 2nd part of the game, and the nice digital music & sounds.
