Welcome aboard BombedOut !

Good to hear that AROS ran out of the box for you (not everybody can say that).

Regarding EotB, i am afraid our scumm port is not able to run it (if i remember correctly it requires scummvm 1.6 and i believe AROS has scumm v1.5.something).

You could perhaps try an alternative route with DOSBox ?

Are you running Icaros Desktop, DVD version ?

On the DVD you are able to find such things like Scumm and DOSBox, in opposite to Icaros Light version which is a stripped down version.

Well, anyways have fun and in case of problems or being new to the Amiga concept then please feel free to ask (although it is advisable to read through the Icaros Desktop manual (even when not having Icaros installed)).

See also my sig for some info.

Hello and welcome. Sorry I can't help with EotB, I've haven't even played it myself yet, but I can sympathise on the state of modern OSes (BSD fan here). AROS is cool and keeps getting better, there's also the exciting development of the Vampire 2 accelerators for classic machines around the corner. It's a great time to get back into the scene.

Glad AROS worked in your machine, it took me a little bit of digging, but totally worth it.

Hi all,

I'm an Atari ST user (pls no bully), disillusioned with modern OSes. I'm mainly a Linux/FreeBSD user nowadays, but FreeBSD doesn't have many drivers, and Linux is sucking harder and harder every day.

A staunchly Amigan friend of mine suggested I look at AROS, so I downloaded it last week.

To my shock and amazement, it ran on my hardware - even down to the network card.

All I've got to do is figure out how to play Eye of the Beholder, and I've found my perfect OS :)

I'm pleased to meet you all, and I hope I become useful to the community in time.
