Hi all,
Have just discovered this great site with all the classic old Amiga games I had/wanted as a kid. My first choice was "It Came from the Desert". I've got it up and running fine with sound and everything on DOSbox but I can't :ranting:'ing work out how to save games, which is essential for this particular game. I bet the solution to this ridiculously simple for you experienced players so please help a frustrated newbie who's nearly dying of anticipation of playing this great game properly!! |

like you probably discovered, if the dos game supports saving the game, then you do it how the dos program requires.
theres no save-state in dosbox. on a related note, if you play amiga games then you could use winuae, which has a save-state option. ... which comes in handy for those games that didnt ever support save. |

WinUAE supports save state only for ADF games. You can't use it if you have WHDLoad , JST or HD installed game.
It would be nice option on DOSBox, as long as they compress save files, same way Tony did it in WinUAE. |

Since Matt didn't find it interesting to share with others information about saving game in It Came From The Desert - it can be done at any time by going to the map and scrolling to the upper left corner of the map. There you'll se save game icon!
