PC Disks from SynTax (1) Single disks cost œ2.50 or see the contributions section to know how to get one free! Please add œ1.00 to total cost outside UK/Europe to cover postage. Remember to state disk size required. Any games which require more than 1 disk are noted. From now on, it will be assumed that users have at least 1x3.5" HDD drive, VGA and a hard disk. If you don't, please enquire whether programs will run on your setup. Many games, especially the text adventures, will also run on the ST or Amiga using a PC emulator. Some programs are provided archived using PKZIP or similar. To unpack them: 1. Make a directory on your hard disk and copy all the files from the floppy disk(s) into it. 2. Change to the directory and type PKUNZIP *.ZIP. This will unpack all the zipped files in one operation. Remember too that some old programs may run too quickly on modern machines - if you get this problem, return the disk for exchange. Please note that any disks with WZ95 in brackets after their description require WinZip 95 or a similar 32-bit package, which unzips archived files while retaining the long file names, is required. This can be found on Disk 988 or you can send me a blank HD disk when you order and I'll provide a copy. @~New in this section this issue: Disk 1143 contains 4 graphic adventures - a demo of Maddog Williams, Homicide, Ohio Adventure and Bob's Dragon Hunt.
