[net.micro] Castle Wolfenstein

jhv@houxu.UUCP (06/28/83)

This was posted about a week ago to net.micro.atari with only one
response that indicated a similar problem exists with the APPLE version.
I am reposting to net.micro to see if anyone else has experienced this
problem and if anyone has a solution.

    I have seen two legally purchased copies of Castle Wolfenstein,
    by MUSE Software, go "haywire" after a couple of hours of play.
    Does anyone else on the net have any experience with this adventure
    type game??  and have you also seen it render itself useless after
    a few hours of play??

    If you mail responses to me, I will summarize and post to the net.

    Thanks.

I have seen this happen.  Wolfenstein uses a binary file called something
like "CASTLE" to store the current layout of the castle.  There is a file
called "BACKUP" that can take the place of "CASTLE" should it get trashed.
just RENAME CASTLE,BLAH <CR> RENAME BACKUp\P,CASTLE <CR> RENAME BLAH,BACKUP <CR>
you do have to get to MUSE DOS to do this, but CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC you.
