"Abandonware" isn't actually legal/free. It just refers to the fact that the company isn't around to sue you as most people understand.

There are many variations of this title on many systems and a lot are homebrew too.

I remember this game

still have it on a floppy

its not working says somthing like: 'This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'close' to terminate the application'

Oh and also, right click "BL" and go into properties, afterwards, click on the tab "Screen", is it on window or full screen, change it to window if it is on full screen.

already in windowed mode i've just tried 'run in 640 x 480' under compatibility. tried top option which was: EGA 640 x 350, 16 colours

nvm just tried Tandy mode which works thanks though.

now it's still not working, just comes up with a load of random symbols and colours

anyone any ideas?

That would be the resolution of the game, just change it and it should fix it...Try another one, try all if you have to.

Must be a rip-off of Tetris for Virtual Boy. not srs

 

[mrgone]

my guess is that i will not run under windows, try inside dosbox (dos emulator)

 

[SilentJay]

haha awesome game. good ol' retro times.

This game came out for the Atari Lynx and it's a pretty passable version. I would look into a Lynx emulator (on PC, Wii, DS, etc.) and try and find the ROM.

 

[Wizerzak]

got it now thanks to dosbox. thanks
