It's true that many or most members of AB know how to run and use DOSBox. The problem is that if the game requires you to unzip/install it to a particular location, and we don't explain that, we will have tons of posts where people ask the same question. Second: Many people who download games from AB are neither members nor knowledgable about DOSBox.

Of course YOU know better such problems.
I forget that many guests visit AB also.
More help is nice thing especially when one tries to start good new game.

Actually when I finish DM2 I will start this new game.
Thank YOU my friend twillight and Paco and... sry do not remember the name of the 3-th one (Expack2 ?).

What I meant is that we should add the bit about the "C:\Siege of Avalon\" folder. Of course the rest about how to unpack, doesn't belong in every individual review, but in the troubleshooting FAQ.

I'll add the how-to section after I test the game in a little while, if nobody beats me to it.

No, no beaten person. Ha ha ha

..And good WT, cheats and maps please.
For maps we have to ask Paco the Map Master again.

Good luck, amigo Japo!
