Does anyone know where I could download DM2 from? I tried to use the link from this websight but it did not work for me.
Thanks-

Did it not download? Did your browser try to open it as a file? I have downloaded it sucessfully from the Czech website 3 times... I could e-mail it to you.

purple- It did download, but when I tried to open it I got a message saying that there was some kind of crash?? I didn't really understand it? I downloaded DM, and CSB with no problems, but perhaps this is a more complicated download? I would appreciate the email

Thank you-

Wait, did you unzip it? If you try to open DM2 in Windows, you will fail. See the DM2 downloads help to figure out how to run it. I assume you successfully unzipped it.

That is where I have the problems, I can't get it unzipped. I think that if I could unzip it I should be fine from there because I have win98, so I could just play in my dos, that is how I played DM.

Yes. Find an alternate unzipping program first. My e-mail upload is very sloooooow. If I were to e-mail an unzipped copy, I would die before it finished uploading to my outgoing mail server. Check out that rarlab website. Works fine for me.

I don't understand what rarlab.com has to do with downloading the game? How will this help me?
Second time you've told me how it works fine for you Purple, you don't have to rub it in.

In the download section of rarlab, you will fine the winrar download
It will unzip compressed .zip files, .rar files, etc

deathscream- I don't know what was different about that but it worked for me, I was able to open it up. Thanks..
Now here is my new problem.. I don't know how to get the game to play? I can start it up in my dos, but all I get is the intro then it closes down and says bye. Has this happened to anyone else? I am going to continue to mess around with it in hopes to fumble onto an answer, but if anyone knows what I am doing wrong, or perhaps a walkthrough on how to start it up that would be appreciated. I have already read the walkthrough on how to start it up on this site but it isn't helping me, I might need the walkthrough for idiots.

Thanks-

use 'dm2.bat not skull.exe to run it
there is a pc patch, not sure if you need it (through the encyclopaedia)
also, run set up too

Could someone tell me what the patch does? I can't figure it out. BlueFox, if you have trouble getting the sound to work, try using the HMI driver update at the encyclopaedia downloads. Make sure that DM2 is set up to use the correct kind of sound.

In the sound test just put everything to sb16, should work fine after that... i always used the sbpro feature... i actually had a SoundBlaster Pro in my 486 dx33

muahahahaha
