Hmm...I'm trying to get this to work...It tells me I must type START at the DOS prompt to run KEEN DREAMS. But when I do, it says it's an illegal command.

What is weird is also that I'm indeed trying to start Keen Dreams Plus, not Keen Dreams which actually does start by typing "START".

They're in different folders which have different names, so I don't understand what's going on here...?

Hi, I don't have access to the game atm but I can try to help.

Please confirm that you are running "KDRPlus.bat", not one of the .exe's.

If I remember right, you shouldn't have to type anything upon start up. If you are using Dosbox, you should be able to just drag and drop KDRplus.bat onto the dosbox icon, and get something like "press a key".

This is why I built a patch specifically to remove all START.EXE related code.
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
