Hi, this is the last game that I do not succeed in running on Mister:

Mask (1987)(Gremlin Graphics)(128k).zip

Could you tell me the way to run it or is there any other kind of problem ?

Bye

This game is quite a process to load. Seems like a fairly involved non-standard loader. It takes me about 5 minutes to get into the game.

This is what works for me:

  1. Turn off "Fast Tape Load" in the OSD
  2. Load the Mask tzx in the OSD
  3. Choose "Tape Loader" from menu
  4. Press F1 to "stop" the tape when the screen says "Stop the tape". (After starting picture screen.) (~3 mins)
  5. Setup controls
  6. Press F1 to "play" the tape again when the screen says "Press Play" (~1 min)
  7. Press F1 to "stop" the tape when the screen says "Stop the tape"
  8. It will show you the high scores. Press enter.
  9. Press F1 to "play" the tape when the screen says "Press Play"
  10. Press F1 to "stop" the tape when the screen says "Stop the tape" (~1 min)
  11. Press enter and you're in the game.
