Hello
I bought Deadly Games back in..what, 1995/96? Still got the manual, the 2 CDs, and me and my brother alwasy use the description voice as a running inside joke between us (remember that old 'An M-16 Rifle/in good condition/with/15 bullets..alwasy a barrel of laughs)
Anyways, I re-installed the game after getting DOsBox, and I got that damn crappy CDrom problem as well. Tired pretty much everything, including Mr. franekb's idea.
(Recap:
it may help some of you guys with a cdrom problem
using dosbox, mount your game dir as a cd
like:
mount d /game/dir -t cdrom
where, obviously, "/game/dir" is your true game directory
then try to run the game ))
Of course that didn't land me anywhere.
Then it hit me like a ton of crick; what if I COPIED the contents of the CD in a folder (in my case dd), use that folder as D: (like Mr. franekb explained) and start the game in my game folder (Default c:\DEADLY)
Holy Crap, it worked like a charm.
'Course didn't start a game, I'm just having fun listening to that voice saying "A Machete" over and over again.
Good times!
Oh..and thanks whoever you are, for landing this site, it feels like I went back in time without no DeLorean
