Durak,

I had the same problem but I figured it out.

I originally tried to just do it all in one step and mount c as c:\blood and that doesn't work.

What you need to do is mount c as c:\ and then change directory to blood and run bb from there. That means, one step at a time, you do this...

mount c c:\
c:
cd blood
bb

Game should work fine then Happy blitzing.

Hopefully someone is still reading this. I downloaded the files but install won't work - firstly, the install from dos window pops up but it looks for files in a Sound subdirectory, which does not seem to exist. Secondly, it is trying to copy files from D:\ - it seems to have problems with the fact it is no longer reading from a CD, but a downloaded bunch of files.

Can someone please, for a moron like me, post a step-by-step guide to installing the game & getting up & running, from the moment you have finished downloading the file on this page?

Thanx

First, are you using DosBox? I presume not.
You can download it here.

If you have any problems with it, try having a look at the official FAQ on the DosBox site.
Basic Setup and Installation
Command Line
Z instead of C at the command prompt
Internal Programs (important, especially MOUNT)
Most of the stuff in there is not really needed, but you would do best to familiarize yourself with the specific topics I linked to.
The mounting of your DosBox games directory, switching the promt to the emulated C: drive and clearing the screen from previous commands can all be executed from the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf, so you won't have to re-type them every time round.
Frontend programs can help running DosBox with varying configurations for different games.
For both a more accessible user interface and oldschool feel, you can use Norton Commander (get it from our programs and utilities page - scroll down to the bottom to find it). NC might seem awkward at first, but in fact it is a very functional genuine DOS era file manager frontend. It has a plethora of functions that will help you in navigating around the directories, while still retaining the command prompt.

Though all of this might seem complicated, it's very easy once you get used to it. So remember:

DON'T PANIC!!!

How to install the game with the DOS setup? thank

If you mean DosBox - read the post just above yours.

Has anyone looked into why the replay system doesn't work, It seems to me like it has something to do with the sound?

well you can just turn off sound in the optiosn menu to get replays working, but i was hoping there was a better solution, I messed around with DosBox alot but no luck.

I just found a copy of this game on my old hard drive, (by old I mean 6 years old) I had problems with the abandonia version but my old one loads up fine on dos box, I'll go check if theres any problems. If you want it sent to you email [BEEEP]@hotmail.com its not worth spamming it, I use hotmail accounts instead of my main account publicly as a filter. Theyre easy to just open a new one

[The Fifth Horseman]

Please do not post your e-mail adress in open like that.

If your version of the game works better then the one we currently have on Abandonia, please register an account and PM one of the admins for login and password to our FTP server where you can upload your archive to replace the current one.

Ok, this may sound stupid but what program do i need to extract these files. I keep getting a message that says its an unsupported file type

Winzip or Winrar.
