For posting images:
Upload your image to Imageshack or Photobucket or some site like that, then use the link you get there when posting here. From what I see there, you tried to upload an image from your pc to this forum, and that won't work. About the Download: This game has a "NO GO" icon instead of a download icon. That means the game is protected and can't be downloaded. Sorry.

Here´s what I see after finishing the army-placement (or after turn one or two, sometimes it even works up to five turns, but then crashes) I tried to use dos4gw 1.97, but there´s no dos4gw.exe I could replace. Just running dos4gw anyway didn´t help... |

Multple drives?
Hi guys,
I sold all my old CDs before relocating overseas but for certain games, like Fantasy General, I created an image. I didn't think to check if it would work with magic-iso. Now the file mounts fine but the game wont install as it only looks at the D: drive (my cdRom is the J: drive). Is there a way around this? Thanks. P.S. is there anywhere I can buy an electronic version of the game (as in no cd). Fantasy Wars has got me interested in playing Fantasy General again. |

Yes, to get around this problem simply change the letter of the emulated drive.
If you have a D: drive, you'll have to also change its' letter. Quote:

Thanks for that. How does the whole unprotected thing work? Why are some games available and others not? Its just an age thing?

Short version:
Some companies decide their old titles aren't worth looking after once they've stopped supporting it, other companies are more reluctant to let their titles go. And: Some company first decide a game isn't worth any attention, then re-decide that they want to "withdraw it" from the abandonware scene. Note the quotation marks here as the abandonware "scene" isn't really an actual scene, legal-wise. Anyway, as a result: Some game that was abandoned is suddenly re-protected (these are the games you find here that says NO GO). As for age: According to a deal we made with the ESA, their members' games are off-limits for 15 years, others have a 10 years limit. But nothing is carved in stone. Some games have unlimited protection while some are unprotected before they're "officially" abandoned.

The worst is when a company buy a game´s license to study the chance of a remake or a second part
