    Hey guys,

    I remember a friend had this when we were kids and I have always wanted to be able to find it.

    I can't find anywhere to get this game :( It would probably not run under Vista anyway as it is a DOS game, but can anybody help me find it?

    I've been searching for years and eventually give up and forget about it. I have fond memories of this and it was one of the best point and click games ever released.

    I never did make it to Mars!!

    Anybody else play this?

    search for it under 'abandonware' and you will find it.

    it will run, not under Vista though, you need to install a prog called 'DOSBox' this is essentially a DOS emulator, that will allow you to play all your old games.

    in this instance,Google, is your friend


    ;)

    That said, you need DOSBox either way. XP or Vista runs DOSBox, which runs the game.
