Ok, I have two questions on different subjects, but it seemed most appropriate to post them here I guess. My first is if anyone has any info on acquiring the games below in my sig, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a decent collection of old DOS games myself, near 150, and would gladly make out a trade or share files. My second is on this site, I noticed Lords of the Realm 2 was up for download. I used to have this game until my CD became so scratched it was unplayable ( I had bought it along with Caesar II as a double pack at Costco! ) so I naturally set out upon a quest to find this game. It took me to the far reaches of the galaxy and back, and one day I finally came across a copy somewhere. I was so excited, and it was back in the days of my dial up and I had to make up excuses to my parents why I was online for 8 hours straight downloading it. So I got it, set it all up, and went to play. First thing I noticed was lack of sound and music. Turns out this game was a minirip, and upsetting as it was, I trudged onward, diheartened but just happy to play the game. Got to the game, and it worked great! For about 15 minutes, then it would crash...So, giving up on that and refusing to buy another crappy Sierra CD that would scratch itself up like a mofo, I set out to find this game again, and finally found it here! Hooray! Thanks guys, I've been coming here for a while now, and would love to contribute to the site if you'd let me with games and the like. But anyways, I downloaded the game from here ( 50 megs! ) and extracted it....What I got were a whole bunch of little files that told me they were RAR files, but they really weren't? And I was having a doozy of a time playing around with them...Anyway, if someone could point me in the right direction of setting this up, I'd be most grateful. Thanks for your time, sorry I wrote up an essay, LOL

From what I can see, we don't have Lords of the Realm II. If you can give me the link to where you downloaded it, I'll try to help as much as I can.

Hmmm, you're right....I swear I got it from here, this is the only old DOS game site I really visit...? I guess not then, wow scratch that question, I feel kinda dumb now x.x;

Have of the games in your sig are still being sold. For example, WC2 in the battlenet edition). Epic is also still selling Jill of the Jungle but I found it somewhere...

Heroes of Might and Magic I
Caesar II
Jazz Jackrabbit 2

Try searching the site you're browsing next time.

Moved since this have absolutly nothing to do with troubleshooting.

Lords of the Realm 2 is a must have if it's abandoned. I have a question too, why don't we have heroes of Might and Magic 2. It's made in 97' I think. I could provide it also because I own the HOMM Platinum Edition. Every Game up to the last expansion in HOMM 3, that's 6 games plus extras.

Considering HoMM is still sold in the Oldwarez search engine on the main page, I seriously doubt HoMM II would not be sold too...

If Heroes of Might and Magic 1 is in the Oldwarez list and still sold I'm pretty sure it shouldn't still be available for download. Correct me if I'm wrong!
