Installed from 4 5.25" floppy disks matching The Good Old Days ID: 3312
Installation Options
Install program is on Disk 2 (Game Disk). Once installed, the game requires GAME.CFG to exist in order to run the setup program, so the following options need to be selected during installation to match the DOSZ:
Video Card Detection: Hit SPACE to change
Video Card: VGA/MCGA Video Driver
Input Device: Mouse
After install, copy all files from Disk 3 (Puzzle Disk) to the install directory. This prevents the game from asking to insert the disk during play.
