Ok. There's no problem with that. I will probably try both (Roland CM500 and a Real Roland MT32-old version) with my Atari. I am still in the beginning, I bought an Atari STF two months ago. I don't even have a Sierra Online game. I like the fact that the Atari has midi ports and it doesn't require …

Gods seems very nice with Roland CM64 but I have played only the first level. I think it may be better than Amiga version but also I have played only the first level on Amiga 1200.

Hello, i would like to ask if someone has experience with Atari ST and Roland CM500 on gaming. There are some games on Atari ST that support Roland MT32. From the moment that Roland CM500 is like a Roland CM32L, can these games sound correctly on Atari ST? There are also some games that support midi …

That's why i believe that you need at least two or three computer systems in order to play more and more games. A game cannot run for thousand of reasons. Some examples: Rex Nebular: it runs only when 32bit addressing mode at the memory panel is disabled. This cannot be changed on PowerPC systems. …

Another advantage on AITD for Mac over PC, at least for me, is that you could run by holding "Shift" instead of double tapping "up". One big disadvantage is the annoying stairs bug where you get stuck when playing on faster machines. The music system also seems more precise, as I recall the PC …

I used to play a lot the Prince of Persia on dos back to 90s with the classic cheat "prince megahit". I loved the game until Flashback came out. Since then i never played it again. Prince of Persia 2 was a dissapointment for me. Regarding Macintosh version, the only disadvantage i find is the speed …

If you speak essentially, most games are almost the same on all formats. I mean regarding the gameplay, scenario etc. I think that when we say that something is better it is based on details. I believe also that the taste is very personal. Some examples on games that i have seen: Flashback: …

I would like also to add that i have changed the quicktime settings on my Macintosh Performa 6116CD in order to use the Roland Sound Canvas SC88 for music. Doom (1 & 2) and Heretic use successfully the Canvas and the music sounds better.

Doom for mac has such a horrible key assignment method that makes it impossible to assign the default pc version keys. Could you or someone else explain the key assignment? I can't remember what the key assignment was, but am trying to recall. I don't remember it bothering me back in the day but am …
