Andrew I thought Id tested it on windows XP, but its quite possible it wont work for you. However if it was just the Path Not Found error, try downloading it again. I realise I’ve had a non-functioning zip file available this past month. Ooops!
Repton was my life when I was 8, you have no idea how much fun I am having with this. Mind you I think I have become increasingly stupid over the last 20-odd years, as I am finding the Main one pretty hard! Thanks for making my autumn 🙂
hey. bringing back some good ol memories with this game. Totally stuck though on level 4 of the main levels. can get half way through, but cant get the spirits at the bottom into the cages without trapping myself. any ideas?
Dunno if I should give out clues to everyone… Oh go on then!
I seem to remember the trick here was the diamond in the very bottom left corner of the map. Leave it in place, and drop a rock (from the blue chamber) onto it.
Running a 64 bit modified laptop means I can’t play the game then I suppose grrrrrrrr. Just have to fire up My BBC then and find the floppy somewhere I suppose!! I would have looked foreward to playing it on here though as the game is ace….
Hi, I know this is pretty old, but is there any way to get this working on Windows 10? I remember being able to play it on Windows 7, but Windows 10 is having none of it!?! Cheers, Colin.
my computer will not play this game as this is w/xp can you help me.

Ah, those were the days! This works fine on my Windows XP! Great to have an Editor as well… 😉 Good stuff!
Ello Arry.
have you got a pocket pc version ?
Nope. This is written a long time ago in visual basic 3 (ancient). Its a 16bit binary which might make even less likely to run on a device I guess 🙁

I played this game many years ago and I am so glad of the chance to play it again,thank you so much for making it available again.

Thanks for this man, I loved this when I was a kid and still do, watch out hall of fame!
Brillant game, great for developing my strategic and planning skills

No no it should work I think. Download it and try it. Let me know how it goes.
I can’t play my level. I cannot find main.rls. There is nothing in my game folders. How can I play my level.
oh. Can’t imagine why that would be. You must be unzipping it wrong or something. In the zip file there’s subdirectory ‘levelset’ containing main.rls
