Ok, just downloaded Beneath A Steel Sky so i can enjoy a great bit of retro gaming goodness to come upon a cropper, the zip file contains a .cpt file, a dsk file, a .dnr file and a readme file, the readme file containing no instructions at all as to how to use these other files. It does however make references to a program called Scummvr.

Upon downloading Scummvr and pointing it at the extracted folder, the one that winace created that contains the 4 files, it doesn't recognise any of the filetypes in the folder. Upon doing a google search for the .dsk file, which is the biggest file, i found it to be a very old type of disk image...unfortunately one that isn't recognised by any cd software i have or have heard of. Infact, .dsk appears to be an old Mac disk image file...anyone know what to do so that i can once again enjoy the goodness of such a classic as Beneath A Steel Sky :'(

I downloaded and played that game about 2 years ago on WindowsXP. I'm not sure if I had to use Dosbox or something.

Maybe if you download it from somewhere else it will come with better instructions.

I don't remember any websites to download free games from, sorry.

That game totally blows IMHO.

I'm sorry. It was a great game IMHO but I got it off a demo DVD (yes, the full thing).

Brilliant game. Where did you download it from? Try the actual ScummVM website.

That is where i got it from . If anyone can link me to another site, i will be much obliged as it is an old classic .

Wow. Weird. I know I got it working. Have you tried running all of those files with ScummVM?

It doesn't recognise any of the files at all when i point it to the local of the folder :s.

I'll give it another go though.

edit: got it working, just had a play around with ScummVM and you just had to navigate to the game folder and click choose.
