I just bought a hard drive and have tried to install "It Came from the Desert" in it using the game's install program. No success so far even after modifying a line to get the excute file to finish. Has anyone had any luck doing this? Chris

I got it to work from hard disk but, I had to rework the script to open a custom window and type 'dshell'. If you can wait, I will E-Mail you a copy what I did on Saturday morning.

Victor, Thanks a lot. Just got your EMAIL and am off to try it! Got kinda tired of waiting for all those disk reads. My son usually played it the most, but he's in Italy for a couple of years. I'll have to mail him some results. Did you play "…Desert II?" Any good. Will look for your reply on EMail. Chris

'It Came From the Desert II' is not bad. I was impressed on how it builds on the previous game. I had to create a script to work much like the first game. I think you will like it.

Thanks, Victor. Couldn't get your script to work for me, either. So went back and looked at what they were trying to do with their HD_Install program and did it. So far, it seems to work just fine. Thanks for the help. Without looking at your script I probably wouldn't have been able to figure out mine. Best, Chris
