    hehe, i luv the old dizzy games, but fantasy land is my fave.

    I guess the best way would be to download an emulator for either spectrum, amstrad cpc, commodor 64 or amiga and then download the treasue island rom for the correct system.

    Unfortunately I'm a Linux newby myself and the only emulator i've managed to download and get going is a snes one.

    Hopefully someone else can post a link for an emulator for one of the systems i mentioned above, as i would luv to play the old dizzy games myself.

    Hi, I've got an Aspire One with Linpus Lite on it, but am a total noob when it comes to Linux. Would love to get Vice running on it, but have no idea how from looking at their website. Is there somewhere I can install a version for the Linpus Lite? Would anyone mind giving me instructions? I'm completely lost. Thanks!

    ...Long time since original post but may help others..........To play old dos games you should install Dosbox. This will play that game.
