I remember TheVoid wanting to add this game a long time ago, but he was stuck with the controls. I tried to help him by translating the controls from a Russian site, but we couldn't get the plot-line or anything togeter.

It's nice to see this game updated - it's a fun game once you get the hang of it! k:

I remember playing this game in it's day. Very challenging, and if you enjoy that kind of thing, loads of fun. Good memories.

I actually knew the controls, the problem was getting to know the plot-line a bit more. Too bad I wasn't able to endure with it and write a review myself, but once again I promise I'll be more active when my exams have finished - I can hint I got a big surprise in progress

I can't believe you found this game!!!!!

I remember at that time I was waiting for my birthday because my parents had promised me that they would buy me a Gameboy. And then I saw a review of Metal Mutant in a comic. I was amazed!!!! Unfortunately my parents could not afford to buy me a PC, so I had to wait one more year to have the PC (a 386DX 40MHz) and buy that game.

So, I come to this question: Is this version the full game? I don't have the original anymore but I remember very clearly that the game was in two 700KB disks. I see that this one is only 400KB.

Has anyone finished this version?


Hmmmm, I downloaded the file but for some reason the game cannot run in DOSBOX (v0.63). I try the metal.exe, but after the text messages nothing happens.

What are the proper settings in dosbox to run this game?

All I get are the text intros, then cga-vga choice and screen goes black.

Would have to ask Doubler that :whistle: Until then, I guess I'll remove the DOSbox compatibility.

Panther_512, MrL: Some games that don't work in 0.63 work right in 0.61,. Install Dosbox 0.61 separately and try running the game through it. Should work.

I didn't have any trouble whatsoever running the game in DosBox :blink:
That means that NO special settings were used.
I'm not much of a tech wizz, I'm affraid, but I'll try (accent on try) to look into this.

EDIT:Oh wait, The_Fifth_Horseman already posted what might be the answer. Hope this works for you!
