Post subject: Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye for DOS |
 |
|
Now that my 133 MHz DOS machine is up and running, I've installed most of my oldskool games on it. But in a couple of cases, I've run into a snag. The snag is known as "floppy disks suck".
One of my two installation disks for Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye is totally hosed. The other one was pretty screwed too, but I've recovered the data from it thanks to Norton Disk Doctor.
Activision basically laughed at me, so what I need therefore, is for someone to TRUST that I bought and paid for this game a long time ago, and send me images (WinImage preferred) of the install disks.
Moderators: This is NOT a request for warez. I OWN this game legally, I just need some "tech support" which the distributor is unable or unwilling to provide. |

Uggg... Activision just so happens to be a IDSA member company so locating this "tech support" is slightly harder than locating Dick Cheney and once you do find it the IDSA secret police will come for you. 
Fortunetely, I just so happen to know where you can get a copy of #1... (check your PM box) for #2 you're on your own. |

| Yeah, I know... but it's still illegal, reguardless of whether it is right or not. |

How about just the help files...? That would be okay, right?
help.txt
help1.txt
help2.txt
help3.txt
msgs.txt
windows.txt
fortunes.txt
credits.txt
Could someone just zip those babies up and e-mail them to me (in english if you don't mind)?
I've managed to recover or replace just about everything else...
I mean Jesus H. Christ, I do own the stinking game legally after all... I just need some replacement files that are corrupted because floppies suck rocks. I don't think that makes me Long John Silver... |
