It's alright, thanks for your help, it might have been an errant request. I'm going to talk to my guy again tomorrow and send him the picture of your 15kV tripler. Where did you get the replacement for that? I think mine probably needs that one replaced too as my half bright text was discolored and …

** THIS INFORMATION IS NOT CORRECT: I don't think so, DOS box isn't mounting the device its mounting the media. You will also need to tell dosbox when you change disks, it wont know just by physically changing the disks.

I'm not on this board to fight with you who obviously likes this game series a lot. You don't have to play infantile and insult my intelligence and I wont insult yours. You know the difference between a completed release and the kind of game as a service this is. They expect to make money in game, …

I really hate the "games as a service" model that everyone is trying to get in on now. I wont buy a single one of them.

Yeah the repair guy I got said that R37 was actually a dual set of resistors, I didn't get a chance to ask him to show me but he said the schematics helped him figure it out. I don't know if that helps you at all.

There is no single player mode. He only claimed that you can play the game without grouping essentially.

Hmmm...When I had my 5154 monitor working for about 10 minutes before it smoked again I might have seen something similar to your text issue. The monitor seemed to have a problem with the half bright colors but not the full bright colors. Can you check and see if your fullbright colors are fine …

If he has any questions or issues I will take you up on your offer and let you know what might help. You mention brightness issues...one of the things …

If I thought they were trying new things because they were experimenting for gameplays sake I would be fine with it. At a bare minimum this is a cheaper game to develope than a full Fallout game. They are expecting their players to make up the primary motivation for playing. The survival model is …

Thanks! I took it back to the shop this past weekend but haven't heard from the guy yet. I'm imagining this is a cap he didn't replace that went when I started changing resolutions and testing the monitor. I don't think he's going to be very fast with it so I'm being patient. Meantime I'm running it …

Careful with that 5900 Ultra, I had one of those and the screw on the fan failed inside the pc so it stopped making good contact, the card died shortly after, I personally hate those coolers because of that.

This is going to be a survival style game, not a traditional Fallout. I don't know anymore than anyone else but my thoughts are this is "Fallout as a service". I'm expecting a lot of tie ins to purchase as they leak tiny bits of content over time. In otherwords I think this is an excuse to emulate …

I can't show examples it's just an opinion, but to me the early text adventures and by extension graphic adventures pulled you in because you were unsure of the limits of what you could do. Sure, with enough experience playing them you start to see the limitations, but the initial draw at least to …

After 10 minutes of running it with an IBM CGA card it smoked again. I'm wondering if this is a different issue than before as it seemed to have a problem with all the half bright colors in text mode. All the colors that were half bright were barely visible and the gray halfbright had a somewhat red …

To me removing the text interface made all these games worse. Part of the magic in these games for me was the illusion of being able to do almost anything you could type in, even if they were very limited the illusion was still there, the answer could be anything! Then the point n click interface …
