Hi RFalvo69 -

I have used my Western Digital external drive with my current Win10 computer earlier this year; will have to update drivers and software. My self appointed Mission in Life is to get DitM up and posted!

Thank You for your kind words; I have been helped many, many times by the awesome folks on the Matrix Forums - it is my pleasure, Sir!

Got Dragons in the Mist uploaded to dropbox; enjoy!

Note: The second link connects to Dragons in the Mist only. Have not been successful in adding all files in one spot; still learning. Please let me know if the second link does not work.

Also:

Emailed and checked in with Rich and Scott of HPS to make sure I was on track; all OK- Scott has gotten a kick out of the ongoing popularity of these older DOS games; he did the programming.

Thank you for your effort!! [&o] There is only a small (last?) problem: the second link opens my Dropbox. The key error is that the link points to the "home" Dropbox - yours in your case, mine in my.

Could you just move Dragons along with the other games in the first link? It works fine.

Thank you again! And Scott should consider a more modern version of these games - a better UI and modern graphics (but still on the "simple" side) would suffice. They are classics.

Hope that this works!

It worked! I have already installed the game under DOSBox.

Today I officially finished a quest started in 1995! I can't wait to prowl in the jungles of the PTO using this system.

Thanks again for your efforts! [&o][&o][&o]

Delighted that the upload worked. Am not sure why I could not put all in one spot- but I will figure it out.

P.S. - All credit belongs to Rich and Scott of HPS; I am most grateful for their kindness and generosity.

Now we just need some of these... https://www.hpssims.com/Pages/products/mods/campaign_disks_tigers__panthers.html

Hello E,

Indeed. That's what started this discussion. Is there someone who has them and wants to share them?

best regards,

Hello E,

Exactly my point... full circle, since DIM & BA were posted here.

thanks everyone on this thread, sorry i have been away from thi sforum and forgot about this thread. thanks for the uploads of what possibly may be some new scenarios for tops/pits! as for those expansion disks, it feels to me that they are lost now for good sadly

another game which is in this same family is Point of Attack 1 - I got a boxed copy of this a while back, its very similar to TOPS but for the modern setting, were there ever any expansions for it?

I don't know the ones you guys are talking about, but I have some 3.5's stowed away so I understand the interest. I couldn't resist posting this from one that was mentioned.

A real nice game from Avalon Hill circa 1984 for the C64 [&o]

It looks like those campaign disks are still for sale.

oh where? i think we all would love to know!

ahhh..just noticed it doesn't go into basket.

I shall inquire for everyone.

ANyone think if the old games went on sale again at a low price people will buy them?

i already enquired about these years ago and i am sure i have mentioned in a thread in these forums before too even - all the campaign disks were lost years ago, - weill teh files were (iirc the HDs containing the campaign content was lost/destroyed somewhere along the line)

ORIGINAL: dox44
...i got them in a trade about 20 years ago. they've survived 2 or
3 hurricanes and 3 house moves. honestly i can't remember much about anything in the box. first time i've taken them out since the trade.

i will help. the disks have been stored. never got wet or anything.

The drooling continues!

(note: just the files are needed. Disk imaging is not needed.)

Hi All,

Does anyone have a scan of the Panthers in the Shadows manual?

I still remember the moment I held it over the trashcan thinking "I won't need this again".

You threw it in the trash - very sad, i guess there was a time in the late 90s and early 00s when i also disposed of some boxed games which now would fetch quite a price in the collector market.

I do have a boxed copy of Panthers in the Shadows and a scanner so when i get some time - perhaps tomorrow, and if i remember - remind me if i dont post tomorrow, i will scan them in and upload it

I still have a few SSG games and V for Victory games in the box
