It's interesting to note that the last Tex Murphy adventure - "Overseer", was released on 5 (I think) CD-ROMs, plus an additional single DVD-ROM, for those lucky folks who had a DVD-ROM reader, back in the day. The DVD version required you to have one of a few specific hardware DVD decoders. I …

Here you go: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=22584 I have no idea if the game itself runs on Windows Vista/7.

YES, yes there is, there is a lot of interest, and it is coming from me. This sounds fantastic! Link please!

It irritates me that, when using any given Windows distro, the Windows key is almost totally useless. When I press that god damned button, I want it to work as a global hotkey that I can use to control any of the functions available in any of my currently running applications. And I want to use the …

Re: DOSBox Project Name Change

Posted on 2009-05-03, 20:55

The only problem with the name DOSBox is that the software is starting to do more than simply run DOS software. From a marketing perspective, given how strong the existing name is, that is not enough of a reason to change the name.

If they really want to throw good money after bad, there are still a few PCI video cards available, like this 9500 GT. But why someone would spend any money to upgrade a Celeron 2.53GHz to play games is beyond me. This thing doesn’t have even a sliver of retro value.
