DOS Games Discussion

I've joined, but don't have my confirmation email yet, but I guess it's OK to post anyway.

I have the old Dune game (have the CD....Cryo Entertainment, Virgin Games 1993 edition). For what it's worth, I've also been through most of the Myst/Riven series, and think I'd enjoy Dune. However, I can't seem to find any kind of menu to Save or to open a Saved game. I notice it's saving automatically when I check the folder, but in a format I can't read. Does anyone know how to access a Save / Open Saved Game menu for Dune? Right now, I have to start at the beginning every time.

By the way, I do like a lot of the old DOS games, and have several. I just can't figure out this one. Thanks for any help....

It's actually simple(but hard to guess ) Go to the palace, enter the bedroom-like room and look at the mirror, that's your save/load point!

Awright! Thanks much (By the way, you must be right....Larrys usually are.....that's my name, too.....lol)

Finally someone appreciates my help! I like you already, so just check your email, and validate your register and come post here often!

If I'm understanding this right, I still have to go through the whole introduction and go to the bedroom mirror to open a saved game, as well as go back to the palace whenever I want to save it during play. Do I have that right? (by the way, whenever I get my confirmation email and finish registering, my username will be Mystified)......

Yeah, that's it!

And damn... confirmation emails usually come fast!

Well, I activated you. You shouldn't have to look at your email.

Thanks much, Masta.....much appreciated!

Hi.

You can skip the introduction by keeping pressing "Escape". There are two ways to load or save:

1:
- Go to the Carthag Palace.
- Go to the room with the mirror.
- Choose "LOOK AT MIRROR".
- You can now save or load the game.

2:
- When you are in the game, choose "SEE DUNE MAP".
- Click on the globe at the bottom-left of the screen.
- You can now save or load the game.

By using the second way you do not have to go back to the room with the mirror.

LoL... I never noticed that one... and for God's sake! I finished the game

Hey, thanks Much appreciated!

Now, guess I gotta get back to Dune.....
