xxl Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 does anyone have an original Technus game here? I would like information from the disk monitor from several places (priv). I'm not interested in cracked versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DjayBee Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Huh? Most of us don't understand Polish language. He played a cracked version and it failed at the end? Did it crash like your emulator screen suggests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 no language knowledge is needed - you can turn off the sound. the game cannot be completed - it crashes like in the screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
