Is it just that the cheat mode is called "cheat room" in this game much as what in other games might be the main menu screen seems to be called the "war room" in the manual? Seems that pressing P then Tab, lets you type in cheat codes, after which you resume your game by pressing P. Maybe you press …

For anyone interested: I extracted the Sierra format music files from the "RESOURCE.000" data file from the 1992 Sierra On-Line Christmas card, and converted them to standard MIDI files. The filename for the Sierra format music file for the song in question is "101.SND", and there are seperate …

OK, this is driving me nutz! Does anyone know the name of the song that is played in Sierra On-Line's electronic Christmas card for DOS from 1992 (the fourth electronic Christmas card that Sierra released). The song in question starts at 2:05 in this video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= …

Beside that, the author of the Cyac joystick TSR replied and he will when time permits take a look in his archives. Crossing fingers! Hey vetz, just wondering if you saw my previous post above? :) BTW, if you do get a reply from the author, ask if he has the beta version of the second version of …

It would be really nice for showases to have some selfrunning demos from different games or scene-stuff to present machines with. Two things I remember from back in the day: At our local CompUSA they had a computer hooked up to a bunch of monitors running Future Crew's "Second Reality" in a loop. I …

I'd investigate if there are any hidden command line arguments to make it just run a demo reel. That's what I was thinking as well, but there doesn't appear to be any. The command summary/quick reference guide lists all of the valid command line parameters for the game, and all of them can also be …

Read on this web page -> http://www.migman.com/sw/chuck-yeager-air-combat/lgn.php : They had a copy of Chuck Yeager's Air Combat running in demo mode. I watched the dogfight between the F-86 and the MiG-15 and I was awestruck. It was so much better and more fluid than anything I had seen until then. …

Hey vetz, take a looksee at what I found! :) Note that this is the non-beta version of the TSR (as mentioned on his archived web page that I linked previously). Anyhow, I did some REALLY DEEP DIGGING through my old archives and found it :) The ZIP was dated early 1995, so that's when I must have …

P.S. Here was a pic I had uploaded to Facebook a while back when I was extensively playing the game 😂: Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the meals on the U.S.N. Peacekeeper aircraft carrier in JetFighter III are rather CRAPPY (just like hospital food, or school lunches) LOL?! The game …

I have a THRUSTMASTER ACM joystick card on the way to me. It has two joystick ports. Perhaps that can do the trick you explained. I don't own a splitter cable unfortunately. As long as the card is wired for a joystick "one" and a joystick "two", I think that will do the trick :) One thing to note: …
