* This 1987 version runs in DOS and is essentially non-functional on new computers because it runs too fast.  To slow down the game to make it playable, you must do the following (requires basic knowledge of DOS commands):

  • Download and install Moslo.
  • Unzip Moslo and the Kobyashi Alternative game files into the same folder (easiest way IMO).
  • Open the DOS command prompt and use DOS commands to enter the directory containing the game files.
  • Type: moslo /n st.exe where n is the speed you want your computer to run at in percent.  Press Enter and the game should run.  I.e. Typing moslo /50 st.exe will have your computer run the game at 50% of the computer's abilities.
  • You will have to experiment with the speed to determine which option runs optimally on your computer.

** How to run the Kobayashi Alternative in CCS64:

  • Make sure the emulator and ROM files are unzipped
  • Double click the file titled "CCS.exe" (emulator)
  • When the program loads, press F9
  • Select "1541 Device 8..." and press Enter
  • Locate and highlight the file titled "st-tka-1.d64" (this is the ROM)
  • Press F3 for a normal boot of the rom or F3 for a quick boot (skips the title screens)
  • After you start the game you will be asked to enter disk 2
  • To do that, press F9
  • Select the file titled "st-tka-2.d64" and press F4
  • Enjoy the game!
