Never seen CHAIN used like that on a RISC OS Machine. Was it not an application? What machine was it? Cheers.

Defo RISC OS, just a very old game with a strange conversion.

Oh its an A3010 with 4Meg ram and a CF hard drive.

[kgm1000uk]

Hold on - CF? Compact Flash - not 2.5"? I could probably do with that! Is it in some sort of CF - IDE interface?

[peetvanpeebles]

Thats the one, you can get them on ebay for a few pounds :)and a cf to ide adapter for 2.5" laptop drives

Could I ever ge through the damn windows? Hours of fruitless slamming against the outside of the building.  Entering via sheer luck.

I remember playing this in a 1st person shooter section - they should update this for modern consoles...
