Re: Big anniversary coming

Great, thanks mate! I'm one of the Neanderthals who probably won't need any of the features in here, as I tend to use 0.74 or whatever version comes bundled with the GOG games, but this is still great to have, and might make me (and my fellow unadventurous types) experiment with the new features. …

Thanks for this, mate! If you (or anyone) finds any more magazine archives, then please post the links for us all to share.

Re: Issues with dosbox and windows 8 32 bit

Thank you very much it works now. And the aspect ratio is now correct however the window is very small with lots of black space. Is there a way to increase it? You don't mention your system specifications (which you should always do when asking for help, as the make it much easier for someone to …

Re: No One Lives Forever not getting rereleased after all

They are ok games if you are into the Austin Powers thing but they have definitely aged in the gameplay dept as much as graphics. I don't know if they would really sell to more than nostalgia seekers. It's interesting that the publishers don't care enough to even figure out if they own the rights. …

A *very* good BASIC implementation is SpecBASIC, based on the very good ZX Spectrum BASIC. https://sites.google.com/site/pauldunn/ and it's constantly being updated, and the author is very helpful, and responsive for (reasonable) requests for new commands and features. Plus it's open source, and has …

Vortex2 drivers can't set the BLASTER variable properly. They produce something like this: SET BLASTER = A240 I5 D3 T4 (notice the superfluous spaces before and after the equal sign) when it really should look like this: SET BLASTER=A240 I5 D3 T4 Adjust the line in autoexec.bat, reboot and it …

It is a pity though. I have both games (though my copy of NOLF1 is only the budget re-release, IIRC) and they are great, and deserve to be played by the new generation of gamers. NOLF's stealth parts were often forced, and sometimes felt too trial-and-errorish, with instant game over if you failed …

Re: What computer related book are you reading now?

A good book, if you were a ZX Spectrum gamer, is It's Behind You , which is free to download, and is basically the story of how Bob Pape converted the arcade game R-Type to the Spectrum (which incidentally is one of the best converting (or 'porting', as they say now) jobs ever, as the Spectrum …

Re: Campers suck

One of the good things about split-screen gaming is that it's easy to see if and where your opponent is camping, and so act accordingly. But sadly split-screen gaming is becoming less and less common on consoles, and was never exactly well known on the PC. Camping is fine in games like Team Fortress …

Re: The best simcity type game?

I think SimCity 64 had some sort of first-person view, but I don't think it is emulated yet. Yes, but as you say it's not yet emulated (nor can you play it on a real N64 using a flash cartridge, though hopefully this will change at some point), and it's all in Japanese. To see the first person view …

Something else I thought of, since the "first person driving view" and "living breathing city" points seem to be fairly important - have you considered any of the action sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto, The Getaway, Driver, Saints Row, etc? That'll get you to the graphical/AI/etc quality you …
