What icons mean @ Compatibility?
Hi there!
So I have recently discovered Abandonia and I love it here! I just have no idea what the icons next to "compatibility" mean when viewing a game. When I click on the icons, they all just take me to www.abandonia.com/en/programs and that has no overview of which icon means what. Is there a link or a page which describes each icon? Thanks so much! E |

I thought they had tooltips. Anyway, the little brown box refers to dosbox. I.e. You need dosbox to play it. Then there's a windows XP logo. That one should be obvious. And there's one for ScummVM, the programme that old LucasArts games run best on. I can't recall any others, unless it's windows 3.1 or 98. Hope this helps.

Hi arete
Thanks for the reply. Do you know what the little stiffy disk drive with the "C:\" means? Is that just a plain DOS game? Basically, will such a program only work with DosBox? Thanks again for the help so far. E |

This compatibility icon means it's been tested with the Abandonia Bootdisk. That's only really useful if you can't run DOSBox and have a floppy drive on your machine.

Hi, The Fifth Horseman
Thank you for the reply. I think I understand now enough in order to know whether I can run the games now. Between DosBox and XP, I think that covers most of the games. I appreciate both your and arete's feedback. Thank you for the help. E |
