It's workin fine now.

Thanx

It looks a bit better, but it still isn't working right.

Looks like a display error... You could try the following: Right click on the file --> properties --> screen/display --> check "full screen". Then run the file again. If that doesn't help, I'd recommend trying it in "DOS-Mode" or look for another Pong version...

well here is a picture of what it does when I open it.

What is your operating system?

Yes, it's a DOS program, but you can directly run it from the Windows Interface, too. Just double click the pong21.com file, and it should start in DOS mode automatically.

Edit:



Mozilla Firebird. Select "Save link as" (or similar), whereupon it will attempt to save it as a html file. Remove the wrong file extention, and it will work.

I've located the source of the problem. The server sends "iso8859-1" as MIME type of the html file. As we all know, that isn't a valid MIME type at all! So the browser asks what to do with it. When I choose to open it with the browser, it acts exactly as it would with a zip file when you choose to 'open' it instead of 'saving' it: it saves the file in some temporary place on the hd and then opens it. I wonder how it can work for you... what browser are you using?

Edit: And the file http://members.aol.com/jmnsam/Files/pong21.com sends "text/html" as MIME type. That is one messy server!

No, it doesn't work. Do I have to run it in MS-Dos mode?

The link actually doesn't work for me at all now that I tried it. The page which opens only opens another page which for some reason is located on my hard drive (temporary files). The download link then points to my hard drive, too, with the file not being there of course.

No, you don't need an emulator. What's you problem? Does it run or not?

Is there some kind of emulator I can get, because I followed the guys link, and the file I donwloaded worked, but nothing looked like normal.

And I am not dumb, I know you can't download hardware.

I could either send you a live topless dancer via e-mail or phone you some pictures of nude women.

Just what I need right now! Yummy

Sorry! Check your e-mail, I sent you a pizza.

Argh! Please don't confuse me even more

We could download his computer and check what it is.

If that is the case, I unfortunately have to point you we know absolutely nothing about Tiny's computer, so it's pretty hard to point him to a fitting version. Through the power of assumption, I'd still suggest Tapuak's link, though...
