Re: Bill gates windows 95 doom advert.

in Milliways
All I remember about Windows 95 are three things: 1. Those annoying "Start Me Up" commercials which made it impossible for me to remember the rest of the actual song. x_x; 2. Having to reboot into real DOS constantly to play games since the "Exit to DOS" feature would sometimes only actually boot …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

I still find it funny how some people think that when I say anything related to their guess they suddenly think they got it right. XD Also... how did you get directed to episode 47 instead of 50? If it was from blip.tv/adg then I can understand why that might've happened, but I just checked my …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Removed by Qbix Maybe... but you just announced your guess to the rest of the forum! :P If you want to actually submit one to potentially see your name in the credits, you need to use my ADG eMail address. You can find it in the credits of any ADG episode or on the Contact page of my website: …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Season 2 is a week away! :) Which means I have a hint for everyone as to what game I will be reviewing for Episode 51. Remember, if you want to submit a guess, it's gotta go to my ADG eMail address which you can find on my website. The hint is: It is a game that had a single letter changed in its …

Re: AFCM (age, first computer, milestones)

1. 28 (5 when I first had access to a home computer, 10 when I started programming) 2. This question is paradoxical for me because I currently own all but one of the computers I grew up with, however the first computer I owned myself wasn't the first, second, third or even fourth one I grew up with …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

I was wondering... do you maybe consider changing few things for season 2. I was actually thinking about ADG logo with game name during episode, often it obstruct view of some things. Could you consider (if other people will share my opinion) to maybe have it for 1st and last minute of episode and …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 50 - 2000 Shareware Games CD is online! The episode's actually split into two parts since it's nearly an hour long, so if you've already watched the first part, then click here to watch the second! I couldn't think of any one game to do for today's episode, so I decided to …

Re: Magic Carpet Released on GOG

Unknown if this is the original release or Magic Carpet Plus The description says there's only 50 levels, so that would lead me to believe it's just the original... ...but then, the original had a major crash bug that could be triggered effortlessly, so that would lead me to believe it's the Plus …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

- I didn't even know WordPerfect still existed; I thought everyone used either Microsoft Office or LibreOffice (formerly OpenOffice) now. Last time I used WP it was an ancient DOS application (ADA?) and was fairly terrible. Wolverine is right about the spell-checking I'd guess: it probably somehow …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

- I didn't notice any noise issues even though I read the apology beforehand. I did get a few advertisement popups in the middle of the video though :( As I said here and on my website, I performed some aggressive noise filtering that decreased the overall quality of the audio. As a result, my …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

If you own the first version, Duke Nukem 3D 1.3D you'll also own the first two games. I just checked my Duke3D CD and wow... I've had the full versions of Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II this entire time and I didn't even know it! XD Though I did spot something very strange about my Duke3D CD. Around …

Re: windows 95 on a 386

in Milliways
I used to run 98SE on a P120 with 24 MB of RAM. I can safely say that the more memory you have on a lower-end system, the less virtual memory swapping will happen overall and the faster everything will go. 95 on a system with less than 8 MB of RAM will go pretty slow, but it will work. However, a …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

If you own the first version, Duke Nukem 3D 1.3D you'll also own the first two games. Seriously? :O I'll have to double-check my CD because I wasn't the one who originally installed the game (a friend did) and ever since then I don't think I've ever put the CD back into any computer of mine and …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Well, I don't own the original Fallout, and so far you're the only one who's requested it. :P I'll only go out of my way to get a game for a request when a lot of requests come in for it. So far though, requests have been all over the place , with most games on my requests list only having one or …

Re: Looking for a Very Old Win3.1 Dungeon Crawl

in Milliways
Are you sure it was native Win 3.x game? Pretty sure. Although I found it odd that it presented itself in a black window with white text and such, I remember the title bar showed the full name of the game, there was a menu bar, and there was an icon, but I don't remember the contents of these …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 49 - King's Quest II is online! The audio quality is kinda poor this week because there's been way too much noise from various sources all week long in the area, so it's been impossible to find a quiet point in time to record the audio, thus I had to make due and use some …

Miki Maus wrote: Moraff's Revenge or Moraff's World? No. Those are DOS games and again have walls separating tiles instead of solid wall tiles, plus are in 3D. (The game I'm trying to find has no 3D view.) Those Moraff titles are fun though. Really should get the full verions someday. :)

Re: Looking for a Very Old Win3.1 Dungeon Crawl

Was it a Roguelike , but with graphics instead of text characters? A Windows 3.x dungeon crawl makes me think of Castle of the Winds, but I'm sure there were quite a few... I *THINK* it was a Roguelike, but none of the ones listed on the page you linked to. Castle of The Winds is a fun one. I've …
