Thumbs down

hi,

When I run Street Rods 1 & 2 it runs fine until I drive the car in races. Only the top half of the screen works, the bottom half that displays the cars interior and the steering wheel is all gobbly gook messed up imagery.

can you help me please?? I have such great memories of this game and it is heart breaking that it does not work.

thanks people,

tim

Dosbox is the ultimate program. You can play old dos games on Windows without any conflicts or errors.

Download it here.

First sticky in this forum - "A beginner's guide to DOSBox" - covers the subject in detail. Read it first, feel free to ask any questions you'll still have afterwards.
