Re: Open source DOS games

in Milliways
Here's my current list of open source DOS games (including those with reconstructed/reverse-engineered code), in spreadsheet format. There are about 260 entries currently. It looks like some DOS adventure games' source code is only available as part of ScummVM now. Not sure if this is a good thing …

Re: Looking for a DOS Game from My Childhood – Any Ideas?

in Milliways
Have you already looked here: https://www.mobygames.com/group/12276/theme-prison/sort:date/ ? Also I'm not sure what the actual gameplay was like from your description? A combination of Tetris and Akranoid , that only makes me think of Biprolex+ , but there's certainly no prison theme there at all.

Re: ACKNEX / 3D GameStudio game projects for DOS

I came across this post on my own deep dive into ACKNEX. Thought you might want to know about a modernization effort, if you weren’t already aware: https://rickomax.github.io/the-varginha-incident/ The Discord has lots of nuggets of ACKNEX lore. Wasn't aware of this, thanks! If you have any more …

Re: Rare and lost demo/shareware releases wanted list

I'm not sure if this should better be posted here or in the unofficial DOS conversions thread, but yesterday I was browsing yet another game downloads database , and apparently there was an unofficial Elite clone project called "Mostly Harmless". Thanks to this wonderfully imaginative name it is …

You currently have the Remastered sources linked. There's been actual CnC and RA GPL source releases from earlier this month, and they also include a bunch of old dos16/32 westwood tools, loads of ancient 1994 comments, etcetera. https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Red_Alert https://github.com/ …

Re: Rare and lost demo/shareware releases wanted list

Something pretty cool popped up over at GamesThatWerent.com. That must be some very heavy serendipity going on, because just yesterday I was browsing this thread from 2003-2006 , which mentioned a site called PC Games That Weren't (accessible via the Wayback Machine) -- although I'm not sure if …

Re: Rare and lost demo/shareware releases wanted list

I think it would be nice to find the original installers for two German advergames, Aro & Elmi and Toffifee: Fantasy Forest , by Very Interactive Sales Tools . Both are very nice platformers, and ironically, while Aro & Elmi advertises toothpaste and promotes tooth care, Fantasy Forest is an …

Re: Some Command & Conquer source code has been released

in Milliways
From what I heard from the C&C community folks, this is the entire source code for the respective games, unlike the previous release for the C&C Remastered Collection, which omitted everything not related to game mechanics. Apparently, in the present case you can compile the exact binaries from C& …
