Re: Pimp my DOS game

To follow this idea my first collected additions to Frontier, all over the web you find utilities which support this old game. The offered shareware release of the game by Frontier.devs is overhauled and they removed the so called "wormhole bug". this bug leads to that you get in about 64000LY …

Re: Pimp my DOS game

The images i use are extremely simple i know, one could do much more with the glyphs as to use only the plain filled ones. But i don't like to spend to much time with that i guess somewhere in this forum you find much better ANSI artists as me. I like to play old DOS games (or other old games or new …

Re: can not exit without typing exit

steve to exit from a started program you will have to use the [autoexec] section of the config file, add here as last command EXIT and it will close the shell proper after quitting the game. of course this can't be in dos-box's autoexec.bat (in Z:) else it would shut down right after start. the …

Pimp my DOS game 2
