The problem with game manuals that come out of the box is that they're not always spiral-bound. Blue Max: Aces of the Great War manual, for example, is paperback, which requires you to bend the paper to read them. https://i.postimg.cc/Y2bcy2GB/game-manuals-genuine.jpg Paperback (left) isn't really …

I'm curious, by the way: have any of you seen any episodes of Crusade , the shortlived Babylon 5 spinoff? I actually liked it. It definitely felt part of the Babylon 5 universe, while at the same time having a unique atmosphere of its own. I quickly warmed up to the cast. Also, the music for it was …

Fiction of any kind = Non-fiction+time. Given enough time the fiction becomes real. Babylon 5 is just a human-generated fantasy, and I am just a person who tries to make it real. The best stories are those with no happy endings, because death is never a happy ending, it is a realistic ending. This …

You must not be much of a Babylon 5 fan otherwise you'd know about Delenn. Ah, Delenn. If I ever fell in love with a fictional character, it was definitely Delenn. :laughing: I would have to say I was mainly an Ivanova man.

I never loved CRT. Never did, never do, and perhaps never will. First, even with excellent CRT monitors like Mitsubishi Diamondtron, I can always see individual pixels. Yes, I can always see that the picture displayed in the monitor is made up of pixels. Less noticeable in dynamic scenes like games, …

Navy Strike. It is quite an obscure game, but I like its strategy game elements. Come to think of it, I always love flight sim/strategy hybrid like Their Finest Hour, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Reach for the Skies, and Total Air War. Knights of the Sky. It was overshadowed by Red Baron during …

As long as my lower back stands straight and properly supported, then I'm alright. That's why I prefer office chairs whose back stands upright or reclines only slightly.

A lot of games could run with DSOAL, Warcraft III, Morrowind, Dungeon Keeper 2 I have tried and works with DSOAL. It is just user preference in the end to use it or not, like ALchemy, or running on a native XP machine without emulation. There's a list here of games and what is supported, perhaps …

Some games do sound nicer, like Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (sadly no A3D as shown in the video here, but if you try with ALchemy it sounds close, well better than none), Dungeon Keeper 2 , Dungeon Siege , Kotor 2 , Warcraft III , Morrowind which I prefer X-Fi over DSOAL because it doesn't pan …

I don't think it's worth it at all primarily because Creative is a terrible company. When you really look at it, the soundcards since AWE32 and above, are just music synthesizers being forced to do something they weren't designed to do in the first place: render MIDI music. The drivers are …

Stumbled upon this list , and it confirms my experience: many of my favorite old games like Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, Max Payne, Freedom Force, and Warcraft III can work with either EAX 1, EAX 2, or both. Some games, like GTA San Adreas, support EAX HD 4, but they also support EAX 2 and 1. Only …
