Description

Riziko is an impressive version of the classic board game Risk. It is written using the PAL libraries and you will be amazed at the graphics. This is an offsite link and the web page loads a bit slowly, but the wait is worth it. The web page is gorgeous, too.

How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 57.0 KB

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

  • riziko.dat → A:\_DAT configuración 10.3 KB
  • riziko.icn → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
  • riziko.exe → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 51.6 KB

No need to put riziko.txt, rules.txt, _round.riz, _turn.riz, riziko.riz: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 57.0 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy riziko.exe to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.
  2. Copy riziko.dat to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
  3. If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.
  4. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

Send to my palmtop

The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
