There's a abandoned remake called Alternate Reality X at crpdev dot com in the downloads section. Maybe someone will pick it up and finish it...

How do I delete characters from the save disk?

The C64 version may still be uncracked. The crazy behavior maybe that the character starts the game inebriated as menus change randomly and your direction keeps changing. This may be copy protection that allowed you to see the game, but not be able to play it.

"You are at the Western Gate" isn't an error. Its asking for the diskette for The Forest expansion which was never written. Expansions The Area, The Palace, The Wilderness, Revelation, and Destiny were never released. Only The City and The Dungeon ever made it to the store shelves.

The DOS version of this game was the last one, not the first. The games City and Dungeon were first programmed for the Atari 8-bit and then converted to other platforms. The DOS version of the City is the Atari ST version that the conversion programmer for Datasoft wrote a sloppy emulator for. It didn't convert such features as the game's music and you get downgraded CGA/EGA graphics. You are much better off playing the Atari ST or Amiga versions in an emulator than the DOS version if the City.

I played The City for years on the 64, but never beat it. I don't know if it is even possible to beat the game without all the other scenarios. All I ever was able to purchase were The City and The Dungeon. But by the time I purchased the Dungeon, The City disks were worn out from constantly having to put one disk in the drive, then pull it out and replace it with the other, again and again. I have tried playing the DOS version here, but it is not the same game as the 64 was. And I do not mean just the graphics, which were better on the 64, but the way the game plays is also different. I agree with DAVE above, I had made maps, and also wish they would remake this game. However, if they remake it will it have the real life"feal" it did in the 64 version? Or will it just be a game? It is no wonder, as the review above states, this game never made it big on the PC.

Played both the city and dungeon and both where exceptional games would love a version on iOS

There is a remake, it's called Alternate Reality: X.

Don't let that stop you from finding and playing the Atari 800 version of this and The Dungeon, though. They're the best original versions by far.

The Commodore-64 version for download here may not work. The images for Disk2-Side1 and Disk2-Side2 both have a note on them that they have errors when you inspect them.

Used CCS64. I could create character, generate random stats, then upon entering the city (when you insert Disk2-Side1) the game goes crazy. It may still be running, but the time is flying by or something. Menu keeps changing, there's no time to move, etc....
