Ancient DOS Games Episode 320 - Loom is online! It's not common for a game to have both an interesting yet contrived story, yet here we are. Even when you see screenshots of this thing or WATCH raw game footage, you're not really getting a good idea of how the game plays and the sensations which go …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 319 - Tom and Jerry is online! I was a little surprised by this one as I expected it to be worse than it actually was given that video games based on popular cartoons had spotty track records, especially when you consider who published this one... but really, it's a …

Ancient DOS Games Filler #98 - Defense Grid 1 & 2 is online! It's actually been awhile since I last touched these two tower defence games, as I've long since moved on to others, but going back and playing them again after so long reminded me of how good they were and why I sunk so many hours of my …

Also the way you mentioned this model in the post I quoted appeared to me as if you approved of it, or at least viewed it as a positive thing, that's why I asked here. But perhaps the positive thing is that one no longer needs to add a link to one's site (provided one has a site at all) as a …

not to mention share the fact that Ron Heuse no longer requires people to link to his website anymore for free copies of the full game: Just head to his website, grab his contact details, send him a polite eMail asking for a copy, and there you go! In that way it's still not technically freeware, …

You may find that Reaping the Dungeon looks a bit better with the machine=vgaonly setting in DOSBox, as it displays 9-dot wide text as real VGA does, so that the alphanumeric characters have gaps between them. Interesting... I just checked that out and RARELY is that a factor with DOS games, but …

Ancient DOS Games Pro 27 - Max Stats - Reaping the Dungeon is FINALLY online! So, here's what happened and why this video is a week late... Firstly, the past couple weeks have been absolutely ridiculous in real life in terms of things going wrong and becoming points of extreme mental and physical …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 318 - Stunt Island is online! This is definitely one of the more unique flight sims ever published, given that instead of being a typical flight sim where you're either engaged in military missions or just taking in the scenery, this one's all about performing various kinds …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 317 - Bug World is online! This one... is kind of incredible... and I mean that in the sense that it's incredible just how completely off the mark nearly every aspect of its design and programming are! :O At the same time though, the fact that it has few actual bugs and is …

BTW, the original Apple II source code that was released by Jordan Mechner (which you discuss at around 5:11 ) does include the game data as well (images and levels), at least, that's the impression that I've got. So I guess someone could technically produce a playable game out of the code, …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 316 - Three Freeware Breakout Clones is online! All three of the games covered in this video are games I played back as a kid at least a little bit on computers which were appropriate for when the games came out, none of them are really diverse enough to warrant full videos …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 315 - Prince of Persia is online! So, after what I went through with the sequel, I was a bit worried about how this one was going to go, as I was expecting the first game to be jankier and more difficult given the logic that the sequel would be more refined. Ironically, …

Ancient DOS Games Filler #97 - Air Fortress is online! This is an old NES game which definitely doesn't get as much credit as it deserves. Sure, it was a year behind the curve in terms of your typical level of complexity in an NES title, but it plays extremely well, has a very linear difficulty …

Corncob reminded me of a game I used to be quite fond of but that is pretty obscure: "Flight Action" by Axisim Software. https://www.mobygames.com/game/67702/flight-action/ Maybe this could be intersting for one of your other segments? It's quite a unique game, I think. I put it on Mobygames many …

Ancient DOS Games Mod 11 - MechWarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy is online! Playing this for my first time REALLY explains a lot in terms of how Activision went from the masterpiece of MechWarrior 2 down to the glitchy mess of MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, as Ghost Bear's Legacy is kind of a …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 314 - Corncob 3D / Corncob Deluxe is online! This was kind of a weird one to take a look at... Not just because of the premise of fighting aliens with the kind of aircraft we had in the late 40's, but just decoding the nature of how the game was sold was a trip and a half …

you have produced consistent output all these years, just a nod of appreciation for the dedicated efforts :) it's interesting to see just how much is out there from back in the day Consistency is one of the MOST important aspects when it comes to making videos! :o I've had a number of people ask me …

Ancient DOS Games Pro 26 - Damage & HP - Mystic Towers is online! I'd always been curious about the damage rates of the spells in Mystic Towers for quite some time, seeing as it always bugged me that the Ice spell seemed exceptionally weak by comparison to almost every other spell, yet the gauge …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 313 - Adventure Fun-Pak is online! Yeah, I know, I said this was going to be a racing game based on a real racing event. I ran into CONSIDERABLE difficulties trying to play the game though. Not technical difficulties, it was running perfectly fine, I just sucked so …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 312 - Cyberia is online! The most I knew about this game prior to buying it was that it had a very unusual means of moving around and was extremely polarizing, with some people praising it as being really good, and others calling it complete trash. ...and wouldn't you know …
