You can simply drag and drop the file GREEDY.BAT over the DOSBox icon to start playing. Experienced DOSBox users may choose other methods of startup. The software was configured and tested to work with the official DOSBox build v0.74-3 available from www.dosbox.com. It may or may not work with any other third-party DOSBox distributions that are available. For playing instructions and other information, please refer to the GREEDY.US file found in the E_GREEDY directory. !!! IMPORTANT !!! To work properly in DOSBox, Greedy needs a third-party seglimit fix, which was provided by Peter Ferrie: o greedfix.zip (1 722 bytes) -- for shareware v1.05 o grd110fx.zip (1 878 bytes) -- for registered v1.10 These fixes were originally available at: http://pferrie.host22.com/misc/dosbox.htm The files can be still retrieved using the Wayback Machine. Other releases of Greedy for DOS are unsupported as no fixes exist. This distribution of Greedy already includes the required fix an can be played in DOSBox straight away. ============================================================================== * Note on the free release * The French demo group Eclipse originally created Greedy in April 1996 for the Saturne Party 3 event. Subsequently the game was updated and released as shareware.
