Eamon Deluxe is an amazing conversion of the basic Apple II Eamon system to the PC created by Frank Kunze. Frank has put a lot of time and hard work into the Eamon Deluxe system and has created an excellent product. Eamon Deluxe does a very good job of retaining the flavor of the original Apple Eamon while adding many very nice enhancements. I think you will enjoy playing with it. If you've ever wanted to show off Eamon to someone, but couldn't convince them to play on an Apple emulator, Eamon Deluxe provides a great way for them to play Eamon.

To install a fresh copy of Eamon Deluxe, while keeping your current characters, rename the directory EAMONDX to anything you like, then install the new copy of Eamon Deluxe. Enter whatever directory you renamed your old copy to, then switch to the MAIN directory. Copy the files NUMPLRS.DAT and PLAYERS.DAT into the new EAMONDX\MAIN folder.
For a fresh install, unzip the file. Then, simply double click the INSTALL.EXE file in the EAMONDX directory. It will create an EAMONDX folder on your hard drive and will put the system there.
To start Eamon Deluxe, run the program EAMONDX.BAT in the EAMONDX folder.
Here are some tips:
- If the arrow keys won't move you around the Graphics Main Hall, try pushing your NumLock key and/or using your numeric keypad.
- After Eamon Deluxe starts, maximize the window, and click on the properties button on the button bar at the top of the window. Select screen, and select "Full-Screen." ALWAYS RUN EAMON DELUXE IN FULL SCREEN!
- If it ever hangs and leaves you in never-never land on that DOS screen, pressing Alt-Esc should drop it back to a window on your desktop. Or try Control-Alt-Delete.
- The "Quit" option in the adventure menus will not return you to the Main Hall, but will strand your character "on an adventure." If this happens, you can fix it with the character editor. Alternatively, you can enter and adventure and either exit it or get killed, either will return you to the Mail Hall. If you are just looking around, you might want to use one of the "test" characters available in the testing section of the Dungeon Design menus.
Documentation:
Frank has written a good deal of documentation for his Eamon Deluxe System, much of it different from the original and/or specific to the Eamon Deluxe System. It is an an excellent read.
