Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahh!! You did it!!! At last, I can play with a game that I was searching for long time. Thank You very much!!!

"Please insert the Deadline CD and press any key (or 'q' to exit"

For anyone who don't know how to get past this message, just put the "cd files" with wich you install the game in another map, and then define this map as the d drive in the dosbox config file... this way you can play the game from the "cd"

...i dont really get it, can yuo explain more closely? :kosta:

Copy the files from the CD to a directory on your hard drive. Then use MOUNT command in DosBox to mount that directory as drive D.

And please don't ask me about the MOUNT command. It's explained in the Readme file and about every DosBox FAQ on the net.

I tried make deadline work but i am confused because i followed the infomation but i gotten confused because the error "Please insert the Deadline CD and press any key (or 'q' to exit" so i looked in files - there no CD file and i tried the methods that i followed in here so please could you help me because i need step to step to fix the error
:sos:

thanks

From the previous posts, I understand you need to mount the game's directory as drive D.

The screenshots and editor review make this game sound quite good, but it seems to have got little attention and mediocre player reviews. Is it the difficulty with installing and playing it that is the problem, or the game itself?

I need the manual for this game. its so extremely complex that it is impossible to guess how it works without help

The feelies included:

* A police folder in a pouch containing an Inspector's Casebook
* A plastic bag with 3 white pills found near Marshall Robner's body
* Notes from police interviews with Leslie and George Robner, Mr. Baxter, Ms. Dunbar, and Mrs. Rourke
* Corpus Delicti (summary of findings from the coroner's examination)
* A letter from Mr. Coates, Marshall Robner's lawyer, to the Chief of Police
* An official memo from G.K. Anderson of the Lakeville, Connecticut police department
* A lab report on the teacup Robner drank from before his death
* A photo of the murder scene, complete with white chalk outline

Wow, you need all those stuff just to solve the game!

I think there is some confusion surrounding this game. There are two games named Deadline. One is an old Infocom text adventure the other is the Nova Spring police simulation that is on Abandonia. The feelies you mention are involved with the Infocom text game.
