Thanks for the reply! Yes, that's probably the same video as that is indeed the song I was expecting to hear. I received my original CD in the meantime and it's exactly the same copy Archive.org has. Also gave a couple of 'abandonware' downloads of the floppy version a try and they're all the same, …

To preface my question: a physical CD (Mega Pak edition) of the game is on the way, but I am currently trying this with an image of that same disc from Archive.org, as well as a download from Abandonia, so technically I don't own the game yet (though I do for CD32 if that counts...). Anyway: Is …

Domark's Flight Sim Toolkit - any shareware or commercial games based on it out there?

I recently discovered a couple of DOS-based mini-flight sims made with Flight Sim Toolkit on Maris Multimedia's 'Warplanes' and 'Wings' series. Ten sims total spread over 5 discs. Very basic, but kind of charming. Does anyone know if there are more of these out there? This also made me think of a …

Oops, completely missed those. Yes, does look like it's clipped in along the sides. Cheers!

Thanks for these. Still a bit difficult to see, but it does indeed look like there is a consistent center hole for some sort of plug or clip. Darn, that would point towards the previous owner haven broken it off and having glued it back in place. I'll do some soul searching and see if I'm going to …

Thanks! Yes, got so far as the front panel as a whole, but taking it apart would take some surgery. But unless I know the glossy plastic bit is supposed to clip off and back on (even if the previous owner attempted to glue it) I am not going to attempt it.

I am cleaning a 2nd hand SC-88VL, and noticed there is a bit of slightly tacky 'gunk' sticking out from between the front panel and the top edge of the glossy black plastic shield (where the 'all', 'mute', etc. buttons live). Does anyone know how this piece is attached to the front panel? Is it …

Does anyone know if Stunts (or 4D Sports Driving) was ever released on CD-ROM, either as a budget title / shovelware or on a compilation disc? Would like to track down a copy if so.

The first two Putt-Putt games ('Joins the Parade' & 'Goes to the Moon') if you want to introduce them to point & click adventures. There are more titles in the series, but I found the first two (which are DOS-based) to have the most charming art style and content. And they're by Monkey Island's Ron …

Nice! Where is this, Finland? Noticed Dutch on one of the boxes, but that's probably coincidental. Wouldn't have minded one of those Starship Troopers boxes!

Sorry for this small detour, but reading through these comments, what would be marks against the SC-88VL for this intended purpose? Just curious, have a similar consideration myself.

G-Nome, the 1997 hybrid mech sim by 7th Level. It's a respectable mech sim, but with so many other things that elevate it above "coaster of the year" status (which apparently is what it was called by some publications). The story and voice acting is great, and the ability to get out of your mech …

Does anyone know if the Roland remotes that were included with SC-55's also work with the slimmed-down SC-50's? These weren't originally included in these sets as far as I know, but perhaps the receiver is still present inside the unit?

Have you tried changing memsize? I tried several memsizes, no luck so far. I'm also not sure if the underlying problem is actually the swapfile as reported by the game, it *should* auto-expand by default and I've set it to a larger size (but then again, that might also not actually be working as …
