Re: Hellfire Warrior (Dunjonquest series) lost?

One of the disks that didn't cooperate for imaging was a copy of Hellfire Warrior (part of the Dunjonquest series from Epyx). I thought it was due to being in DOS 3.2 format (which it is), but unfortunately, it seems worse than that. The disk itself no longer boots, although I am able to produce a catalog of it (under DOS 3.2). A scan of the disk yields several unreadable sectors, some of which include sectors used in the files. That makes it difficult (if not improbable) of recovering this particular image.

I looked around online to see if an image exists, but haven't found one. I encountered a similar problem with the disk for Datestones/Morloc's/Rescue 3 pak, but an image for that appears to be available.

Has Hellfire Warrios been lost to the mists of time?

In case nothing turns up I have a backup - a low level image, about 70MB.

Would you like to give me some persistent motivation to turn it into something usable? :-) I think there might be few more titles like that in my archive, along the many original protected ones.
