Hi,

I dont have Dragon in order to work atm. But I remember some games.

1) I dont see tmachine in archive here (The Time Machine), it was a very good graphic adventure game, I have it somewhere in my disks.

2) I never found the soluce of Syzygy (the one in archive seems working well with xroar, except the joysticks ???). Do you think that it can be played and solved using xroar on PC ?

3) Zotl was a not too bad and original french adventure game, has someone heard of it ? I have it on my disks somewhere.

TY.
Manu.

I've just tried and it's fine in XRoar (well, my copy, I assume the archive one is fine (edit: downloaded and tested the one dated just last month, and yes, fine)).

I don't have an analogue joystick here, so I set Left Joystick to Mouse and managed to scare off Vader easily enough.

Hi Sixxie,

TY for help !

So I got the saber, went to Vador, pressed switch, but got the message "Click joystick button to begin" and I stay blocked.

Is this one of the Mysterious Adventures as published by Channel 8 Software? The wiki entries for both the Mysterious Adventures and Channel 8 Software contain links to The Time Machine, but an entry for the game has yet to be created. Also, an incomplete version (the graphics file is missing) can be found in the download section where it has been incorrectly labelled as an Adventure International title.

Hi Alastair,

In the Goal Computer french brochure they say that this game is in text with Dragon 32 and graphic with Dragon 64.

Yes seems that joystick doesnt want to be assigned to mouse ???
