Review & download

Wow, I never thought that I would see this game again!

I actually played this game at school when I was in my younger days as we were one of the few lucky school to possess a computer garden in the old DOS days. Knowing this game very well, I can say that it is a perfect learning tool for little kids in the early school years.

Learn while having fun, the best way to learn. :)

This was one of the first games I ever played.

My Dad thought it would be great for my maths skills (they suck), instead it got me into computer games.

All I can say is, thanks Dad!

It seems, for some it is best to have fun while learning, others will be distracted by the fun. :laugh:

Remembering my childhood
 

Wow! It's been YEARS I've looking for this game. I played it on school when I was a child. I'm talking about 1992. The game was translated to catalan, though.

How to run the game??
 

Please tell me how to run the game

I used an emulator to launch the game, but how to enter the run command?

If you don't know how to use Dosbox then have a look at this guide, take the time to read it all. Dosbox Guide Then enjoy your game.

Problem running the game
 

Thanks for your efforts,
I used D-fend Reloaded to run this game, but I reach a command prompt screen that looks as shown below. Note that: (Other games such as Robotron:2084 would run easily on D-fend Reloaded).+ ( I also followed the DosBox steps described previously).


This is what appears on the screen.(whatever I type it says syntax error):

The things you describe happen when you run with basica.exe, run the game with run.bat

Or if you absolutely want to complicate things run the game with :
basica castle

run.bat
 

Again thanks for your efforts,

After running run.bat, a window says that cmd can't operate in fullscreen, then it says that NTVDM.exe stopped working!

I tried running it as adminstrator, too.

In addition, I tried to start it from the ms-dos window, and it says: basica is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
