    Sounds like you need Vice first before you open it.

    Vice is a C-64 emulator. Flimbo's Quest was also released on the Amiga and the Atari ST among others. That's why I was wondering about the format. There's not much point in the OP dealing with Vice if he's got an Amiga disk image for example :).

    Ah I know that but I think he was looking for a c64 game before. Flimbo was also out on a cartridge, which might cause some problems opening it (if that's the format).

    That's true. He was posting about Turrican ironically enough :). You can always click the user's name and then select the "Find more posts by..." option to see what they have posted about if you're not sure.

    Yes, emulator :). I was posting under the assumption that you were trying to run a C-64 game on your PC using something like Vice, CCS64 or Frodo.

    Are you saying you are having trouble running an actual Flimbo's Quest cartridge on an actual C-64?

    You need an emulator, basically a program to run the c64 game files on your computer. Just download a program called VICE.

    Although, I tried for quite some time to get flimbos quest working, the roms around the net don't seem to be working too well. I had to buy a cart online for a real c64....but now I've no joystick :( :P

    heres the link for the game
    http://rapidshare.com/files/235331643/FLIMBOSQ.D64
    the link for win vice(a c64 emu for pc)
    http://www.viceteam.org/
    as this is a pain to run heres how:
    You have to emulate a joystick by some keys on your keyboard.
    Press Alt/I and set Control Port 2 to Joystick and choose a keyset (for example Keyset 2). Leave the setting for Control Port 1 to None.
    By selecting Define Joystick Keyset you can choose the keyset you selected earlier and change the settings for up/down/left/right and the fire button.
