Conquests of the Longbow

Hey... I was wondering how to 'install' the patch for Longbow, is it just a case of putting the two new files in the directory?

Also, how do I run the game? Probably in other words, what's the difference between Robin2.bat and Robin3.bat?

Yeah, for the patch, just overwrite the two files in question.

I don't know about Robin2.bat and Robin3.bat. I just have Robin.bat. (I had the game already, so I didn't download.) Why don't you look at them and see if they are different?

You can also just run sierra.exe (IIRC... or is it scidhuv.exe?).

Use Dosbox. ^^

If you use Dosbox the animations are 10 times slower than they should be...

...which is why dosbox allows you to alter cpu cycles and frameskipping.
