# old school star wars
gooooooooooooooood evening B3TAN'S.
Bit of a strange query. About 6 or 7 years ago i had the pleasure of playing a 'Star Wars' game on my Windoze 3.1 PC. The basic premise was a simple screen giving you options to avoid asteriods, fly between objects on the death star, and skyscraper towers. Anyway, my roundabout request is how i get this game to download.

Anyone?

# Sounds like the pc conversion of the old 80's arcade game
So you should be able to pick it up on an emu site.

Or try abadonware sites-they specialise in ancient pc games.

Beware though, old dos-based pc games often are hell to get to run under newer os's because they look for conventional memory and don't even recognise extended ram.

It's easier to gor for the emu option.
try classicgaming dot com.

# i've got loads of old
dos games and most of 'em still work.
for the ones that require expanded memory though, no chance
<edit>just checked and the mem command still works in xp! and i have 612K largest exec... not bad</edit>

# might well be
unfortunately my zx is gathering dust a couple of hundred miles away *sob* I'm suffering from "Horace Goes Skiing" withdrawal.
