About
Welcome to the website of Kevin Becker. This is the eighth version of this venture and hopefully will be the best yet. It’s all free and it’s all awesome. Awesomeness 24/7! Yeah, so there’s not much here yet, but there will be. There will be! So come back often!
Dear Kevin,
it looks like you once have written a script for getting “Zork: The Grand Inquisitor” to run under Windows XP. It used to be hosted on http://www.km3k.com/downloads/zgixp.cmd but isn’t there any more.
If you are indeed the author of this script, could you maybe put it up again or just mail it to me? It’s that I keep getting this “Insert CD” error.
Kind regards,
Robin
