My problem is that when I select the proper directory and do gob.exe, it goes black for half a second and then it says Unknown Error -100. Then nothing happens. Any suggestions?

I've downloaded the game, and dosbox, and scummvm too... tho, it still doesn't work. at all. when i start the game with dosbox, there appear some weird texts such as [A] ansdjohdiash (well, something like this... ehm...) and if I try with scumm, it doesn't even finds the game file, so, I just wanted to know... what format files does scumm reads? Uhm... and... can someone pleeease help this stupid girl over here? Please please please? thanks a looot.

According to the review, the game is not compatible with DosBox.
However, the compatibility data in the review date three years back to v0.61, while the latest revision is v0.70. If you tried using an older version, you might want to try v0.70, just in case it might work.

Other than that, you might try running it in plain Windows or using Abandonia Bootdisk (from our programs page).

Question can't pass first level

Just downloaded this game (I still remember it from my childhood). It doesn't work in XP or DOSBox, but it works with ScummVM. My problem is this: On the first level, when I pick up the pickaxe, nothing happens. All the walkthroughs just say "pick up the pickaxe and advance to the next screen." I see no way to do this. What am I missing ? Any help ?

A yellow "Go" sign appears when you pick up the pickaxe. Maybe you have a corrupted archive? Tried re-downloading?

BTW, the game runs fine in DOSBox.
