Re: Jill of the Jungle Sound Effects

in DOS
Briefly tested Jill episode II, v1.2(b) and v1.2(d) with a SB16 CT2940 (OPL3-L) on a 200MHz P-III: v1.2(b) is very slow and sound is screwed. v1.2(d) plays fine, sound is OK: It doesn't sound bad, bad not too good either. Also tried with a CS4232 based soundcard, Magic S-23, SBPro Compatible: v1 …

Re: 2000 and newer PC's

Exactly, A light in the dark in 2000: you could get your 440BX and a lower speed Coppermine Pentium III, windows 2K and get your work done. And they are still nice to have now, because they support DOS so well and have ISA slots for DOS sound. I do consider 2000 to be the technical High Water Mark …

Re: If Quake were made today

in Milliways
IMHO Quake content is not very imaginative on itself. The rooms have no apparent purpose or furniture, all is gray and brownish. Duke Nukem 3D, and especially Shadow Warrior had much more interestinq worlds to wander around. These days certain things have a commercial nag, like DLCs. I find it …
