Re: Right mouse click

Posted on 2010-02-20, 14:39

Could it be the mouse you are using? I know I had issues with the right mouse button on the OSX version of DOSBox using an Apple Mighty Mouse. I believe this is probably because the Mighty Mouse is still essentially a single button mouse with a touch sensitive surface.

Re: What was the first game you played?

My first game would have been Pong back in the 70s, though I did play a computer tic-tac-toe at one of the Smithsonian museums if I remember correctly in the late 60s. The first computer/game system that I owned was an Atari 800 in 1982 and had Pac Man and Space Invaders on cartridge. A year later I …

I got WC Academy thinking that with the level editor there would be a lot of user created levels to play through. Of course this was back in the BBS days so there really wasn't a good distribution method like we have now with the Internet, so I never did stumble across any that were available. The …

Re: AMIGA games VS IBM PC ... which are better?

Eye of the Beholder on the Amiga had a proper ending at least. The PC version just had a one line congratulatory message then dropped you to DOS. After spending so many hours to complete the game it had to have been one of the worst game endings I have ever experienced. The Amiga version was much …

Re: AMIGA games VS IBM PC ... which are better?

Some that I think were better on the Amiga: Times of Lore Ultima III, IV, and V Dungeon Master, though the Amiga version was nearly identical to the original Atari ST version Bard's Tale 1-3 Faery Tale Adventure The Pawn Defender of the Crown Populous 1 & 2 The original Star Control 1 The original …

Re: Lets talk size of games.

When I think of size in reference to older games, the one that always comes to mind is Strike Commander, which was HUGE for it's time, over 40 megs. I had a Syquest 44m removable hard drive and it took up an entire disk cartridge for a single game. My 386 had a little over 100 mb hard drive, so if I …

Re: Witcher v1.5 patch

Posted on 2009-07-09, 11:49

The Price of Neutrality mod that came with the enhanced edition upgrade was pretty good, although short. I played through it twice, since you have to make a choice to support one side or the other with different results depending on your choice. It was set before the events in the Witcher, so it …

Re: Ultima Series for DOSBox

Posted on 2009-07-08, 22:11

I played the Atari 800 version. It only had 4 colors even though the Atari was capable of displaying more. I remember seeing the Atari ST version too, and though it had more colors I thought they did a terrible job of porting it. Malignant Manor's screenshot looks greatly improved over what I played …

Re: Lamest game ending?

Eye of the Beholder 1, just 1 line of text saying you finished the game then drop to DOS. I have heard that they tried to save money by leaving off the ending cinematic which would have required another disk, figuring very few people would make it to the end. The Amiga version released later …

Re: mount external device in OS X?

Posted on 2009-05-10, 00:58

Just mount it in DOSBox by using the volume name and directory For example if you have an external USB called Backup with a DOSGames dir you would use mount c /Volumes/Backup/DOSGames in DOSBox If you aren't sure of the Volume name, go to Terminal in Applications/Utilities, run it and type cd / cd …

Re: Huge SciTech News!

Posted on 2009-04-05, 23:12

Thanks for the info. I remember a friend buying Settlers II years ago. There was a UNIVBE directory on the disk, and in it was the SciTech Univbe program and a crack for it complete with .nfo, on a factory pressed retail disk. I thought it rather strange that it made it through QA to get released …

Re: Zip suggestion

I would also suggest Total Commander. As Rekrul stated, with the multi rename tool it's pretty easy to take care of the unwanted double extension. Total Commander is one of the tools I consider absolutely necessary and I carry it around on a flash drive wherever I go. It's one of the few non-game …

Re: iso mounting software (NOT daemon tools) with cdda support?

Posted on 2009-03-14, 14:24

in Milliways
I use Daemon Tools frequently from the command line. Most of my daughter's games are set up that way so she doesn't have to deal with mounting images or handling easily scratched disks. For example I created this in a .bat file and made an icon linked to it on her desktop. She clicks the icon and it …

Re: Dosbox and EGA

Posted on 2009-02-25, 22:24

rcblanke is correct, not sure why that file isn't present on yours after installation. I moved the disk0.id file temporarily to another directory, ran the program and got the exact same error message that you had stated in your first post.
