I'd certainly like to have a look at this game if you can get a copy.  I
did fire up the MDFS this afternoon.  It's been off for about 3 weeks
and so after having to reset the CMOS RAM due to flashing system
error LED and finding that a couple of the discs didn't boot up first
time, I managed to get it going but *FINDFILE didn't turn up anything
Cave related on any of the discs.  These things definitely appreciate
regular use!

Shouldn't this game be on the Stairway to Hell?

Best wishes,



Ian

I have it on my MDFS, I might be peruaded to fire it up to copy the game
off.

It worked okayish, tho as Joel said, it did work more on lock files and on
error.. than any actual econet calls. With more than a few people playing
and on a busy network, I found it was just far too slow and crashed too
much.

Cheers
