Shit; I've still yet to play the actual game. I've been trying to work with this one: Snatcher.

To play the game you just need to boot with DISK0. Anyway, you
should like to play it on harddisk. Playing on floppy is just annoying.
There are two ways of installing it on hardisk: manual and automatic.

1) Automatic
- Boot from your harddisk MSX-DOS2.
- Select the drive to install and create the directory. p.e.:
C: [enter]
MD SNATCHER [enter]
- Place DISK0 on the floppy and change to it. p.e.:
A: [enter]
- Use INSTALL.BAT to install it. p.e.:
INSTALL A: C: \SNATCHER [enter]
- Follow the instructions on the screen, when the installer
asks for other disks, do it.
- If everything is ok, you can play typing:
SNATCHER [enter]
- If the game doesn't run or doesn't seem to be working ok,
try the manual method.

2) Manual
- Boot from your harddisk MSX-DOS2.
- Select the drive to install and create the directory. p.e.:
C: [enter]
MD SNATCHER [enter]
CD SNATCHER [enter]
- Copy these files from disk to harddisk. p.e.:
COPY A:DSK2SAV.COM C: [enter]
COPY A:FDSAVE.COM C: [enter]
COPY A:SAV2DSK.COM C: [enter]
COPY A:SNATCHER.COM C: [enter]
COPY SNATCHER.SCR C: [enter]
**DO NOT** copy SNATCHER.000!
- Place DISK1 in the drive and dump it. p.e.:
FDSAVE A: SNATCHER.001
- Place DISK2 in the drive and dump it. p.e.:
FDSAVE A: SNATCHER.002
- Place DISK3 in the drive and dump it. p.e.:
FDSAVE A: SNATCHER.003
- If everything is ok, you can play typing:
SNATCHER [enter]
Honestly; I'm not stupid, but I do not comprehend any of that. Could someone be very specific with me on how to go about playing this game. I've been wanting to for a while. I mean like, when it comes to this... <_<

Those are, uh, for the MSX version of the game. The English translation. This thread is for a translation of the PCE version, and it's still in progress.

Yeah, I know. I just figured I'd post it in another thread, but it looks like I should've made a completely new topic on the subject, which someone did for me already.

Anyway: still looking for help.
