Hi guys
Apologies first for such a simple/selfish question, but I can't seem to get any of my favourite Level 9 adventures to load using Euphoric (Windows, v1.00). I just keep getting a flashing cursor (on the BASIC screen) and nothing...
Any ideas as to what I need to do? I need an adventure fix!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dbug, thanks for your response.
There were five Level 9 games released for the Oric:
Adventure Quest
Dungeon Adventure
Colossal Adventure
Snowball
Lords of Time
When I try to load them using Euphoric, they all just present me with a flashing cursor. Some let you then LIST the loader, but others just seem to lock up. These are the only games I have trouble running...
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

There is no such thing as a simple/selfish question here. If we can make your Oric experience more enjoyable, then the more you will stick around and take part in the community.
Have an answer for you, and I promise you are going to kick yourself....
The answer is 42!
Ok.. wrong forum!!
The answer is: CLOAD the files into Oric-1
I tested myself, and found these games do hang when CLOADing into Atmos (which is the default).
You need to right click on the file, and select "CLOAD on Oric-1".
If the game does not auto-run, then simply type RUN.
This will run a small BASIC program which calls the machine code.
Kicking yourself yet?

You are most welcome.
Small tip: press F4 in Euphoric at least once to speed up the game play.
Not too many times though, otherwise you will not be able to type.
