Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

The next Ancient DOS Games filler video is live and this is a special one: Filler #72 - Patreon $512 Milestone Reached! It's actually been quite a few months since this milestone was reached, but trying to fit making this video alongside my normal schedule was proving to be impossible, so I decided …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 237 - Boppin' is online! I was expecting the worst going into this one, given what I had heard about it, only to discover I HEARD WRONG. XP This puzzle game is actually pretty tame by puzzle game standards as far as the gameplay is concerned. The trouble is that, some …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 236 - Big Red Racing is online! ...except... what's this? It's technically NOT an ADG episode??? 8O Long story short: One of my favourite content creators, Ross Scott, who makes the series "Ross's Game Dungeon" has been hit with some hard times and I wanted to help drive …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 235 - Thinkin' Things Collection 2 is online! I really expected this one to be way better considering how good the original program was, but... nope. This program is entertaining for sure and there's nothing wrong with it in that sense, but it completely fails at actually …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 234 - Kid's Zoo: A Baby Animal Adventure is online! ...and my memory failed me because this program isn't anywhere near as good as I remembered it being! >_>; I guess when you're a kid it's easy to lose sight of how good or bad something is because sometimes you don't have …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 233: Disney's "Fun With Letters/Numbers" Games is online! And so begins another Edutainment Month! :D Given that these two "games", Donald's Alphabet Chase and Mickey's Runaway Zoo, were intended for extremely young children, it's no wonder they're as simple as they are, …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Filler #71 - Wacky Wheels HD: QA Report is online! So... Some of you probably noticed this is a day late. My original plan was to just tear into this game because of the impression it left me with. It felt like some cheap cash-in, put together through outsourcing, with zero …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 232 - Planet Strike is online! (Please note that this is a mature rated episode.) This is probably one of the shortest ADG episodes ever, but I think I packed a solid amount of info in it all things considered. Since Planet Strike is the direct sequel to Blake Stone: Aliens …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 231 - Albion is online! I'm semi-surprised at how this turned out. I went into this expecting a game I'd barely understand and would hate playing. As expected, I barely understood it... but much to my surprise I did NOT hate playing it! I think if I had dozens more hours to …

No New ADG or Shovelware Diggers Until I Revive my Compy :(

in Milliways
UPDATE: Compy is working again... not even happy about the solution because it's embarrassingly simple yet also so incredibly easy to overlook: https://www.patreon.com/posts/17218472 ---------------------- Original Post: Here's a link to the full story but the gist of it is that the motherboard for …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 230 - Roboman is online! So... yeah... turns out the copy I have of Lode Runner: The Legend Returns is Windows-only. Admittedly, the box for the game has a tiny little tab which indicates DOS or Windows, but I don't have the box, just the jewel case and CD, and neither say …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 229 - Hoosier City is online! I went into this game thinking it was going to be some kind of hidden gem. I mean, a Zelda-styled game I never heard of? Clearly the internet's been hiding this thing from me! D: ...well... turns out there were very good reasons why I'd never …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 228 - Double Dragon is online! This game is clearly unfinished. Some of the graphics are missing, most notably an EGA title screen, despite there being plenty of disk space left, the controls are somewhat unresponsive when you're trying to do things quickly, and it's hard …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Episode 227 - Secret Agent is online! This is another example of a game I don't personally like, but where I recognize that there are people who could surely enjoy it since it's not all bad. Heck, many of the game's issues can be overcome with practice, worked around, or just …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

I tried to use the keymapper to remap joystick actions for Wing Commander 1. Ended up unsatisfied for reasons I can't remember, so I switched to joy2key and was much happier. Joy2Key can do more than DOSBox's keymapper for sure, but then it's another program to worry about when playing a game. …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Filler #70 - DOSBox Keymapper is online! ...yeah... I kinda got sick right after the first ADG episode of the year went live... >_>; I was mostly recovered about halfway through the week but that wasn't enough time to put together the episode I had planned, so instead I decided to …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Time to get a proper to start to 2018 as Ancient DOS Games Episode 226 - Test Drive is online! :D This one surprised me. Last I played this was MANY years ago in that filler video where I looked at my old Tandy 1000 SX computer, and the game played really freaking badly. When I booted this up in …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Filler #69 - End of 2017 Update is online! There was actually a lot of things which cropped up over the past couple months, so I wanted to address them all before we get back into the swing of regular ADG episodes next Saturday, thus this "quick" video which I thought was only …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

Ancient DOS Games Filler #68 - Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is online! This one's been a long time coming because I've really wanted to talk about this game as I feel it flies under a lot of people's radars and gets way more bashing than it deserves simply because it's not as good as Duke Nukem 3D …
