Hi

You can get lba and lba 2 from ebay but lba2 gets very expensive.

Is there no other way I can get lba 1 working on my xp pc? Did it run on linux?

Just wanted to let everyone know what I have experienced while trying and succeeding in getting LBA2 running in Windows XP. You can visit my website at http://www.isu.edu/~sweneric/ to see my results. Any feedback would be appreciated and accepted.

Chao, e_swensen

You can check out the dos emulator that is the best one out there, DOSBOX. This emulate an x86 computer and has been used to get both LBA games working. You can do a search under games to find info on both LBA games and how to get them working in the emulator at this url http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1.

I just like to throw out that I still have my tech support page for LBA1: Relentless and LBA2: Twinsen's Odyssey at
http://www.geocities.com/e_swensen/ You can download Funny Frog's patch that fixes the graphics problems from my page.
I hope this helps some people out.
