Ardy the Aardvark

Hi, This game totally freaks out my PC. I downloaded both versions and they both do the following. I use APE to Load it and as soon as I select the file with my mouse and get ready to hit "OK" my computer slows down big time and gets worse. I can't even hit CNTL ALT DLT to get to Task Manager. I win...

OS-B

I see that a lot of files (well, ok, some) need OS-B. Can someone let me know what this is--Operating System Bxxx? How does one get OS-B if one doesn't have it? I own several old DOSs.

Yoomp

I don't know what PAL is and how to turn it off and yes, I did hold option down when loading PCMirror which usually works.

Yoomp! Problems

Can't wait to play this highly tauted game. I load it, and I get cool music with a black screen. I download a different version from another site and the same thing happens.

I've hit every button. What am I doing wrong? :cry:

Top 100 list

Should there be a mininum number of votes that a game should have before being considered for the top 100? It seems unfair that a game with 3 high votes displaces another more tested game of say 20. Sorry for the nit-pickiness but I'm big on Top Whatever lists.

Game missing from database

Anyone else hear of a game called Dandy Dungeons? It doesn't seem to be on this website.

Scorpions

DOes anyone know how to get it started? It boots, then just sits there and plays cool music. None of my keys work, nor does the joystick do anything.

Thanks in advance!

PC MIRROR

Thanks for all the help including the topic title. I'll give PCMirror a shot when I get some free time tonight. This is really exciting for me, as there has always been a special fondness for the old games. From the looks of it, I should place all my .exe and .com files into one folder to make navig...

SIO2PC Reply

Thanks for the reply. Indeed it is an SIO2PC and it works (I received it in the mail today). However, you say it doesn't matter if it says MS-DOS but I can't get the APE drive loader to recognize the file (a lot of my games from this site are either ROM or MS-DOS). I tried tricking it by changing th...

Newbie needs nurturing (help!)

Simply put, I've downloaded some games I want. Now, how do I play them? I have recently purchased a gizmo that allows the transfer of data from my 800XL to my PC and vice versa. Can I simply unzip the files, use the gizmo to put the files onto a 5 1/4 diskette, and boot the Atari up? But some of the...
