So I just had to go back to a previous save and replay about 2 hrs of Wizardry 7. There's an NPC named Blienmeis in the Rattkin Ruins that you're supposed to steal a ring from in order to progress the plot, but I didn't realize in the process of stealing the ring, he steals random items from you. I …

Also picked up this MWave for cheap card since it is boxed / has the original disks because I don't know of anywhere to download the original disks. Could you do me a favor and image those disks in IMA format? Make sure to write protect the disks before sticking them into a drive. I also have a …

Holy cow. I have no idea how I missed this thread. I have several IBM Pentium Pro 6589s that can run dual processors but finding the vrm has always been an issue as well as a second processor. I should have seen this. :( Very glad all this stuff was rescued! I would say about half of this haul is …

Ok, HunterZ, just tested Mechwarrior 3 on Windows 10. Good news. Mechwarrior 3 not only works perfectly, but better than in Windows 7 64. Steps for Windows 10: 1.) Install Mechwarrior 3 2.) Install Patch v1.2 3.) Blow up a robot. I did not need to use a frame limiter at all. When I first ran the …

First Witcher has possibly the worst controls in a 3rd person RPG game I ever played. I stopped playingafter the first combat encounter. I haven't played any of the Witcher games but I'm curious now: have you played Gothic 1? That had pretty funky controls afair. No I haven’t played any of the …

It is an important piece of this cancelled game's history IMO and it would be fantastic if we could get that Far Cry tech demo. Thanks for any help.

Hey, thanks guys for the response. That's correct, the file you both mention was the stand-alone, second tech demo which used the Reality Engine. The Reality Engine was later acquired by Epic. If you follow my links at the Unseen64 info page you can still download the original 39 part rar file of …

Hi guys, I am on the hunt for a VERY hard to find Far Cry 1 mod that was released around 2005(ish) by a now defunct game company called Galahan Games. I have been doing research on their cancelled PC game called "INCorporated" and there was never anything released other than two tech demos before …

I play Mechwarrior 3 extensively on my main gaming rig which is running Windows 7 64. It goes like this: 1.) Install game 2.) Install 1.2 patch 3.) Frame limit to 30FPS (I use EVGA's PrecisionX 16) 4.) Carry on The Pirate's Moon expansion pack works great as well. - There is the occasional crash on …

HI again, Your board is not exactly the same as mine, I just have seen it. I seem to have higher integrated (less) chips on it. And what's obvious: Your board has the Weitek and the cpu socket exchanged. So also the link to Stason does not fit 100% to your board, because there is the Weitek and cpu …

Awesome, that seems to be the exact same mainboard. You seem to have the original 64kB cache, I upgraded it to 256kB. EDIT: zoomed into the photograph, MT 5C2568-20, so that board came already with the full amount of cache, even more awesome. And you also have a Weitek 4167 in it? I guess it's …

New Adaptec EISA 2742W Not sure if I dare to unbox it, new hardware from 1995. I hope it still works. Why do people have still unboxed stuff from the 90s? I have no idea.

I'm just about 100 hrs into Wizardry 7 and I think I'm about halfway through the game. :dead: This is a LONG game, good thing I like it as much as I do, but even still, I just came off of a 111 hr playthrough of Wizardry 6, and I imagine Wizardry 8, once I'm done with 7, will be another 80-100 hrs. …
