: How about buying a CD for that game plus four or five others? (Or

It is possible. One way to do it (the easy way) is to get c64s or pc64
from for example arnolf.hiof.no. these are c64 emulators for ibm. then
just hook up your 1541 drive to the ibm with a x1541 cable (available
by order or make one yourself with schematics from same site). that's
all. or actually just skip the whole x1541 bit and download the game
itself from the same site. i recommend buying it though, for the document-
ation as well as the good deed.
you can also actually transfer the original c64 files to ibm format,
and i've heard there is some way to do it but i never bothered to
figure it out, because i tend to buy the games.
