Searching VZ200 emulator

My virus scanner removed my DSVZ200 emulator and I can no longer find it on the internet. Most of the links are outdated. I do have VZEM, but not all games work with it (like Magnum Quest for example) or I am doing something wrong.
Is there any where to get a good emulator?

I noticed my MAME ...

Re: The Island - An Adventure

I already know what I did wrong. You get 1 point for entering each location and there was one room I didn't enter. I'll update the walkthrough.

Re: The Island - An Adventure

I solved it and I have uploaded a walkthrough. This one was rather complex with a lot of puzzles repeating several times. However I found all seven treasures but only got 225 of the 226 points. I also made a complete map which I will upload soon. I'll try to find the last point some other day.

Thank you, I know that site. Unfortunately, these programs only work for programs compiled with a few specific compilers.

Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64


Have you seen this vid?


Yes I did see it, but that person didn't get as far as I did. Unfortunately no clues there on how to solve the last two problems (worms and opening the secret passage).


Wrote too soon. Looks like it's not BASIC. Sorry. Can't help.


It seem to be compiled BASIC. If ...

-I have the stake and the hammer and I suspected that the sleeping Dracula should be found in the coffin, but when I OPEN COFFIN all I find is the diamond ring without Dracula.



I just found out that you can kill Dracula once you open the coffin. HAMMER STAKE works even though you can't read in ...

-Because of this I can't get the rusty key. I think it is used to unlock the guest house.
I managed to confirm that this is indeed the key you need to unlock the guest house.

Re: Ork! House of Fortune c64

Thanks! I've uploaded some hints in the form of a partial walkthrough including all the parts I was able to solve and the issues I couldn't solve so you can use it if you get stuck on one of the problems I did manage to solve.

Ork! House of Fortune c64

Yesterday I played Ork! House of Fortune. It's not bad, but unfortunately the version I have apparently has some bugs. I solved most puzzles, but couldn't solve the following problems:

-If you dig with the shovel, you are attacked by giant worms. I think you should use the machetti, but USE ...

Re: Doem Pyramide Door



Was there a Dutch equivalent, that might've translated the game?


Just looked at the Dutch code. The REM statement in line 3 states that it was translated into Dutch by Dapperens on 10-1-1984. In line 50000, the one on the screen, the date is 10-1-1983. I think this is a typo. It was probably ...

Re: Doem Pyramide Door

Courbois Software were two Dutch brothers Hans and Jos Courbois who published compilations on tape of several c64 and Pet games written by others (I don't know if all were legal but a lot of them weren't commercial games). The company existed from 1983 till 2012 (although later on the focus of the ...

Yes that's the game. I compared it with the English code. Note line 2020 in the magazine has an error "Advive" should be "Advice"
