phunni Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I've discovered a MS-Dos download of Bard's Tale (I do have a copy of the game somewhere) and I immediately thought about trying to get it to play in dosbox. The file is here When I try and run the file, dosbox says that it can't run this exe in dos mode - even though it's a dos game! I realise that dosbox can't run everything - but I wondered if it's possible to get this running - I used to love this game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 You mean that self-extracting exe file? If yes then try the zip file instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 yeah - I got that working - cool. OK - confession time. The game I had was for the Amstrad CPC, but I figured that dosbox was probably more stable than the cpc emulator that I've got... BUT - the bard that comes in the default party had a fire horn in the CPC version and this one doesn't :sad: So, unless I can figure out a way of creating a party in one game and then using it in the other, I think I'll be going back to the CPC...
