I'm doing 4:3 in 1280 x 800. I want my pixels nice & chunky, so that's why.

VileRancour wrote: The source is 320x200, so I'd use 1280x800 (a simple factor of 4) instead of 1280x720. Oh crap, you're right! I'll try doing that for the next video. Just a shame that youtube recompresses things so much. Awful artifacting, especially noticeable on the first screen with all the …

Well, I finally decided to experiment with my video capturing and such. Here's some Wolf3D in 4:3. Please tell me if you guys have any issues with this video: http://youtu.be/kL4jm5_2wvI

I have recently participated in an episode of The Space Quest Historian, where I talk about Russian versions of adventure games from the 90s and rather unique circumstanced under which they appeared: http://youtu.be/VBf_FAIKksY

BUMP to announce a new episode of the DOS Nostalgia Podcast: In this episode Jim "Trixter" Leonard takes us back in time to the early days of IBM PC. We discuss the birth of PC, its clones and notable games of the first decade of pc gaming. Jump into your Flux Capacitor equipped DeLorians! http:// …

Not DOS, but I recently posted a full playthrough (with commentary) of a rare English version of the 1997 Russian FMV adventure game GAG: The Impotent Mystery. http://youtu.be/Jwd82QCrCZg

Ooh, looks (and sounds) top notch especially for its specs. Any info on this anywhere? Didn't quite 'get' the intro, for obvious reasons. :) I don't think there's much info about it on the net at all. I've seen tiny ads for it around 96 & 97 in Russian pc magazines lopped together with other Doka …

Just posted a new video that some people might enjoy (especially if you're into obscure foreign stuff): "Happy Birthday!" a Russian edutainment game playthrough (Nikita, 1995) While you're on a Russian roll, why not check out the 10h EGA graphics in this obscure title: Black Zone (DOKA Media, 1995) …

Thanks! I also started in 2008, although my first official review didn't go up till February 2009. I don't like my early videos because of the circumstances they were made under. And I barely have any videos to begin with because I'm spinning too many plates at the moment & DOS Nostalgia is not a …

Ah, well, that's a good reason. Especially if you're not into social experiences like that. Twitter is very rewarding for me personally. Gemini000 wrote: Also, I haven't checked out your videos on YouTube yet which is why I haven't said anything about them yet. For the most part they aren't very …

Kris, you need to get on Twitter!

BUMP! A new episode of the podcast is up! http://www.dosnostalgia.com/?p=268 A renowned adventure game developer and artist Ben Chandler joins yours truly to discuss (what else?) a bunch of (mostly) classic DOS first person shooters made using Ken Silverman’s legendary Build Engine. The podcast RSS …

Hello, everyone! Egon Spengler here! 😁 Questions, suggestions & criticism are very welcome. PS I got the CGA colors wrong? 80
