Clockworks: an old time computer game

[systemJLx 10+ year member]

I used to have this game called "Clockworks" that i used to play on my old Sony computer like 9-11 years ago. I lost the disc when i was little and i cant find anywhere to download it online. The game had 100 levels, and you would push the space bar to move from one point on the screen to another. Its hard to explain, but the hand ofyour clock would get close to another dot, and then youd hit space, and then you would be on that new dot, and there was a bunch of stuff that made the levels interesting. i cant find it anywhere online, and was hoping someone here knew what i was talking about?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that unless you're using Win98 or W95 you will probably need to use a Dos emulator for a game that old.

The most popular DOS emulator is called DOSBox, and you can get it here-

http://www.dosbox.com/

And theres a seperate grphics interface to make DOSBox easier to deal with called D-Fend you can get from here-

http://emulationrealm.net/modules/wfdownloads/viewcat.php?cid=219

Theres emulation forums all over the place for both of those programs, so if you get stuck you might get faster responses there.

Have fun!

There's been lots of trouble with this game, and I dunno if it's already been solved, but here goes anyway

To stop the game locking up on beginning game play, you need to select all the files in the clockwerx directory, go to Properties, and uncheck "read only".

ya i tried that read only thing too, but i havent tried that since i redownloaded the wing.dll file.

by the way, will those Dos programs mess up my computer? like, will it counteract with the software i have on it now?

No, trying to run DOS in 32 bit Windows wont hurt anything.

It just wont work in most cases without an emulator.

Trying it wont do any harm.

Boo ya! found out a way to avoid the emulator. I downloaded "Ultimate Spin Doctor" which is the same exact game which came out in 1995, and then they called it clockwerx in 1996 which is the official name. so i downloaded it and it works fine with no problems at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

no problem. it doesnt compare to today's games, but as the levels get harder it gets fun. it bring back memories to me.

another great game is Chip's Challenge. ill create a new thread for that game and a download link so that other people will see it too. thats another great classic
