Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

I was 15 in 1990 when I got this game. In the years since I have played this game hours upon hours. I love it so much that I have tried my best to reverse engineer it. If links are allowed, you can see my efforts at https://gb.mitchthefat.com/

man i forgot how great this game is. Still better than most mobile strategy management games today.

Be sure and select GB.BAT as the executable.
