I've several games I'd like to load onto the hard drive of an A2000 running 1.3.3 (soon to be upgraded to 2.1). I'd like to be able to run them from the hard drive under WordBench control. Does anybody have any idea as to whether or how these old games might be loaded on the HD? They are Duck Tales, Dragons Lair, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Thanks for any advice you may have.

Roger Rabbit was upgraded to version 1.1 a few months after it was originally published. The upgraded version was very easy to install on a hard disk. Just make a directory and copy all files from both game disks to the new directory. You must then edit your startup-sequence to "assign" the name of each original diskette to the new directory containing the Roger Rabbit files. The best way to install Dragons Lair is to also get hold of Dragons Lair: Escape from Singes Castle. The Singe's Castle game came with instructions for loading BOTH new and old games on a hard disk while integrating the older game with the newer version. The result was about 11 megs of game! Best regards Rick

Thanks for the suggestions. That's very helpful! (My niece and nephew thank you too!!)
