Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure FMV looks great but in-game looks not so great (but good enough). Great to have Tex back in another game. Would be interesting if someone combined all the FMV clips and made a Tex movie. Onward to Mirror's Edge

Well they have to keep the drama: Playboy with emotional and physical scars that makes out with employee and makes out with others to get what he wants.

I'd been using VDMSound since I went Windows 2000 only back in 2000? I would email back and forth with Vlad (author of VDMSound) and frequented the bravenet VDMSound forums. It was obvious that people had more than sound issues with getting games to work in NT and the bravenet forums were horrible. …

I'm thinking no SCSI because those drivers take up a shit ton of memory and I bet finding a working HD would be a PITA. I emailed him so we'll see if we get a reply back. I'm sure he gets tons of emails. Used a subject line of "DOS Machine" so hopefully that's different enough.

Well it looks like he is actually using a PC instead of a "word processor" which is what some news sites confusingly call his machine. http://grrm.livejournal.com/83679.html At least as of 2009, He's using RAID1 and I doubt he's using SCSI. So that would mean PATA or SATA and either onboard RAID or …

What is the reasons games are so large these days? 50GB? That's insane... megatextures. With that said even though the texture quality isn't consistent at least it's nowhere near as bad as the textures in Rage. You can also tell the game needed some more development time since various things are …

Compared to 98SE: Higher cpu/memory requirements Stable Driver issues if hardware is not compatible with 2000. Compatible with most windows games except for some 9x games which are incompatible. NTVDM not recommended. Use DOSBox but if CPU is too slow then use NTVDM with vdmsound\Virtual PC\Vmware, …
