Install and run
at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any problems you think
the software caused. It's a simple DOS program and shouldn't reformat your
drives...
Install instructions:
WUZ is a DOS only game.
Once upon time before the evil MS Empire forced Windows upon most of us PC
owners there was DOS...
Here's how I run it on WindowsXP - older Windows I
can't recall the process ...
Although I've read where people seem to have problems running old DOS programs
in XP I have come across no problems at all. And any glitches I have
encountered were not the fault of XP but the shortcut properties being set
wrong.
You can run the game by double clicking WUZ.exe but it's
far better to adjust the properties of the file to give you full screen. Since
WUZ is a pure text game it uses no sound or graphic calls to screw things up.
Right click on Wuz.exe and in Properties - Screen - Click Fullscreen
- then Apply and finally OK. XP now has
created a Shortcut (MSDOS icon.) Now click on the shortcut and ta ta! Full screen WUZ as it was
meant to be played.
To quit the game type in QUIT (or if too lazy have XP abort the game - you'll
get a XP warning about not saving blah blah blah but it doesn't damage anything closing the lazy way.)
There is a save game option but I've never used it (not even when released) since
the game only takes about 10 minutes to play! So I've no idea if it'll produce
a stable save.
The old instructions are included and the walkthrough solution - this
time all in one htm file.
This game is virus and trojan
free (but it would be sooo easy...just kidding!) but
don't take my word! Run a virus checker on any software - especially old DOS
stuff - you download!
Yes, this game is
copyrighted - it was filed and accepted. (You had to mail your entire code - Reams of printout paper - you know the old perforated
type of long sheets with the holes running along the sides? I can't believe
anyone actually read it - but ya never know...)
Obviously ignore the plea for donations
since that's no longer my address - I moved in 1991. And after the 911
renumbering it's not even the correct address for the old house!
