Hopefully SimmonK can help me with these questions.

I downloaded SOB from file planet using the save option to begin the download.

I opened the file and followed the Winzip steps on the Dink help page.

The load screen includeds the rated R warning and the title screen has music and is displayed properly.

I assume the anvil is the start new game. I can't start a new game. If I click on the load game, the green stone it brings up the saved slots from the previous DMOD I was playing, Legend of Tejin.

When I load slot one the game starts in a cave with a large gold or bronze coloured pill bug and lots of slimes. 1 screen south is a save bot. The next screen south is a locked screen with purple bonkas, slimes ect. Not much hope with attack 3 defense 2 and magic 1 or 2 I think.

1 screen west and north there is an ocult type symbol that quits the game if I walk over it.

I looked at the walk through and these screens do not sound like what is described for the start of SOB. Also I have not seen a start up movie if ther is one.

Its as if the DMODs are overlapping or corrupting each other somehow. Like having Dink turn into the a goblin with a sldge hammer every time I attacked with the fist in As Good As Eternity. Is that normal or is this another problem unique to my experience?

My drop down list on the front end for DMODs holds only mystery island, edit and SOB. Is this the case for every one of should the drop down list hold several DMODs?

Also if I try to remove a DMOD using the remove button it does not work and I end up having to go through windows to end the task. Is this normal?
