XCOM: Enemy Within is the same game but better, I'd play that instead. The campagn is basically the same, but extended, and with more depth, more options, more maps, more situations, more enemies, and more tension. I highly recommend it. Otherwise, you'll have to do the "same" campaign twice if you …

Mass Effect I am well on my way though my current attempt at this game, and I'm enjoying it. It stills looks pretty good (though with some janky animation and poor textures close up I can't play either versions of the ME Trilogy without the A Lot Of Textures mod: I highly recommend it. Remaster: …

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon was the only Far Cry game I enjoyed. I usually am not a fan of open world games, but the synthwave vibes and the silly humor were top notch. Glad to see this old gem being mentioned.

AI can't code! They are text generators, and are useless at anything but basic repetitive code completion. Source: I subscribed to github copilot for one year, and unsubscribed lately because it sucks.

File sharing support¶ Certain Windows 3.1x programs that rely on SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386 would display an error on startup, complaining that SHARE.EXE has not been loaded. This mostly affects office programs (e.g., Microsoft Office, Lotus Office, Peachtree Complete Accounting, etc.), but also a few …

@marxveix: Aren't PrBoom and PrBoom+ unmaintained ? You might want to look at DSDA-Doom or Woof! instead. 3D accelerating Doom in another API has never been faster. There's work that happens to polygonize the levels (and the new bsp /nodes required), expensive clipping calculations for sprites, …

I rarely post, but I enjoy this thread very much. That OS/2 and Win3.11 aesthetics are so nice to look at. You really have an eye for old software I wasn't aware of, and great screenshots! 😀

In many cases for consoles i simply care about experiencing a unique story, there's a lot of well written games on consoles just like there a re a lot on PC, the more the merrier. Yeah, I bought Lost Oddyssey not because it's a Xbox 360 exclusive, not because it's a traditionnal JRPG, but because …

I installed your version without any issues, but on launch it just does nothing. The previous version worked fine with DOSBox. I suspect that the folders you mention are merely artifacts from the previous version. The fact that it does not run anymore only confirms what the README states clearly: …

Today I'm gonna party like it's 1992! Thanks to a great friend I was able to buy a long wanted treasure. It will stand perfect and very nice next to especially my MSX FS-A1 ST and Acorn 3010 which are also from the early 90's 😀 The Commodore Amiga 1200! The 1200 came in it's original box and with …

Since it obviously works for you, my question would be: what version of the game do you have? 1.13 or 1.11? Does your CD have a "spanish" folder? It's the v1.11 version according to the version.txt file on the CD. The CD has the English, French, and German folders. No Spanish folder to be found. …

Yeah, Windows 95 is not supported. But all Win32S games work just fine in my experience. And this has been the case for at least a decade.

I tried it again, and to pass the Win32S error message, you need FAKESHAR from the Windows 3.11 guide: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=9405 You can remove it once WIN3S is installed. I don't see it in my AUTOEXEC section. Here is the relevant section of my SYSTEM.INI file: [386Enh] device=dva …

The Tex Murphy Radio Theater series 1 and 2 are really required to understand the gap between Overseer and Tesla Effect. https://bigfinishgames.com/radio-theater/ Plus it's really good. 😀 I'm quite glad to see the Tex Murphy series in this topic!
