Last time I saw it, it was repeated mislicensing and non-wallpaper imagedumps unrelated to hardware damn. :( are there any archives of it anywhere? There are some archived posts on Wayback (up until April 2023) - https://web.archive.org/web/20230429200836/http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=44836 …

I was looking on here for it as i just built a new PC a couple hours ago (and currently typing on it) and I wanted a nice vintage wallpaper for my new rig. There were some super cool ones in there that i didnt get to save, I'm not sure if it's around or not but I can't find it anymore. I found a …

The engine might be "time-bombed". From acknex.exe: Time restricted - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION 4.0H alpha Mar 28 1999 Excellent find! Who knows what happened with this weird game, it only gets weirder. Could it be that they missed removing the restriction before the release? Is the release a hurried …

Nice one, konc! It does work with dgVoodoo2 on Windows 10 but the game runs too fast (limiting FPS helps). Also there's no music. Does the original disc have audio tracks? I still can't get it to work in W10 even after changing the date. Did you do anything else apart from dgvoodoo? Runs okay in …

RunAsDate by Nir Sofer: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html Very handy! No way...this actually works, even on my Windows 10 PC! However the game runs WAY too fast, I'm wondering if this is one of those where the speed of the game is dependent on the processor you're using, not sure if …

I've managed to extract the resources/scripts in hope of being able to move them over to another, less janky version of the 3D GameStudio A4 engine. So far no luck, but at least I can tell you some cheat codes - looks like Ctrl-Alt-1 puts you in a truck, -2 a SUV, -3 is a Mad Max buggy complete …

To preface this, Carnivorous isn't found anywhere online at all. There is no archive of it, there are no screenshots of it, and there are very little people who are talking about it, so I myself decided to make an archive of it, so I threw the REMOVED and the REMOVED unpacked version of Carnivorous …

Several off the top of my mind that aren't released ANYWHERE, AvP2 + the expansion I'd gladly replay AvP2, it was huge fun back in the early 2000s. Absolutely no idea why it is not sold anywhere. I'd say it's one of the best FPS games of its time, at least for the single player part (no idea about …

By far, the best era for DOS/Windows games was 1993-2006 in terms of quality. I have tons of physical DOS games from before then and from the 1980s that are good, but pre-1990 DOS games (except maybe Stunts, Test Drive, etc.) aren't as playable. Though regarding Amiga, pretty much all Amiga games …

Only mistake was a couple years ago. I was trying to restore a Fujitsu Lifebook C352 that I had that would not boot to a prompt at all despite multiple efforts and multiple repairs. Was taking it apart and I got to the small cable connecting the fan to the mobo, yanked it out too hard and it broke …
