hi all, just a quick question-i know this is a old game but is there a way to get this on my win7 computer ? i have it on my smart phone .any thoughts on this .

I don't know if it runs on Windows 7. Googling brought up a few places where you can download it, but they are not from sites that I can safely recommend.

Maybe someone else will know more.

thanks ,yes i think i know what your saying,i tried to download it and it only downloads to google crome page.???and not to my computer .??

If you are talking about this game,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guidse14.android.boxworld

it is only available on Windows 7 as an online game.

The original game will not work directly on 64-bit Windows.
Apparently it contains 16-bit code, which is incompatible with 64-bit Windows.

It can be played on 32-bit Windows inside Virtual PC or VMware or in DOSBox with Windows 3.1 and some 32-bit additions installed.

Thanks, Jenny.

thats the one ,thanks .i have an old computer with a floppy disk that has it on a disk that if i hook it up i can play it ,i think ??the other one the hard drive crashed so that was that but i lucky have an other one ..thanks guys

You can probably play it on the old computer, assuming the floppy is still good. If you want to archive the game, you should probably back it up to something more long-lived than a floppy.

THANKS,now what would that be??and how would i do that ?as U can see I love this old game..

If your computer with the floppy drive has a CD writer, use that to copy the game to CDR.

Otherwise, if the computer with the floppy drive has access to email, you could zip up the installer and email it to yourself.

Or if you have online storage and the computer with the floppy drive has haccess to the Internet, you could zip the contents of the floppy and store online. For example, Dropbox has free online storage up to 2 GB, which is way larger than the size of a floppy.

Or buy a USB floppy drive like one of ***these*** and attach it to a modern computer which has a CD or DVD writer. You'll be able to copy the contents of the floppy to your hard drive and then back up on CDR or DVD+R.

If the game is important to you, back it up in more than one location -- for example, on both CDR and USB flash drive -- or on both CDR and online storage.

I'll move this to Glitches since it's related to that.
