That's a game I couldn't find anywhere online (at least not the DOS version). Maybe someone has it and could share it?

[Meddle]

Well seems you've stumbled onto a rare one. I found that it has a cd-rom version. A couple of contributors at redump.org have it, although I've only ever seen their dumps posted to Usenet and very few at that (they may have a private tracker, however this is just conjecture I have no idea for sure). Is there an English language version of it? All that I could find about it was that it was in German.

I really doubt it exists in English language, also take a look at his profile - Austria - German won't be much of a problem at all.

I did see that he listed his location as Austria.. Anyway thanks for posting it.

Another Edit: It doesn't seem to like DOSBox v0.74. It spits out this lovely message when you try to run it (Mit dem "Game Wizard" ist das wohl etwas unfair, oder?!). I ran the message through a translater and while a bit humorous I have no idea what the problem actually is.

The game seems to detect you're running it through "Game Wizard" which I found is some cheat/patch tool. So basically it's some cheat (or maybe even copy) protection. Either a patched executable or running it through another emulator, an old DOS PC or a Virtual PC might just do the trick.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Edit: Stupid "Game Wizard" Error!

Too bad I got rid of my P120. It was a good old games machine while I had it.
