DOS Games Discussion

I have just acquired an old disk of a friends with a game written in BASIC called Dungeon Quest (circa 1985) and would love to be able to play it.

Unfortunately I am having problems running it. I have tried downloading a few BASIC programs (BASICA, GWBASIC and a few others) but none of them seem to run it - getting error messages related to specific lines (one in particular related to a line that just read SCREEN 3). Not sure why these programs would not be able to run this BASIC program.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get this game to run. It is a Rogue-like game but has multiplayer and a shop where you can buy equipment, and allows you to save your character to play later. I remember it being a really cool game (for its time, and as far as I am concerned for now too).

Thanks in Advance,

Jeff

Get QBASIC from Microsoft. Is it an Executable or a .BAS File ? SCREEN 3 is one of the many Graphical Screen Resolutions like Screen 1, Screen 11, 13 to run Graphics Statements like LINE, CIRCLE, etc etc. . The Default Text Non-Graphical Mode is Screen 0.

Can you share the Game with us ? I wanna play it as well.
