I'm trying to use my 3-button (PS/2 with a serial adapter) mouse with my old 486 running Win95 in DOS mode only (I guess that's DOS 7?). The mouse driver I'm currently using only detects it as a 2-button mouse. It's capable of detecting 3-button mice because I have another mouse (that doesn't work …

Well, the first three are all parser games so no loss there 😀. Though 4 and 5 are also very good.

Space Quest 1, 2, and 3 are now released on Good Old Games. It should be noted that in this release they include the AGI version of Space Quest 1 rather than the remake!

You can download the game off Direct2Drive if you don't like Steam. That way there's no online activation either. The system requirements for MI2:SE itself are: Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP / Windows Vista Processor : Intel Pentium 4 at 3.0 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Video Card : 128 MB …

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is available for pre-purchase now on Steam for only $9.99. If you pre-purchase before the launch date (July 7th) you get MI1:SE as well for free! If you already own MI1:SE on Steam you have the ability to gift it to somebody else.

Yeah. I have a TRS-80 Color Computer 3 with 3 joysticks (just like the one you have next to your Tandy :D), a disk drive, and a tape drive. The disk drive barely works correctly anymore and I've never gotten the tape drive to work (I acquired it from somebody else, the disk drive I've always owned). …

I know that. I was only kidding. Sorry it wasn't that evident. I morso meant that it messed things up for my nostalgia. It definitely was better for games and easier on developers.

Just random thinking here. Is it possible to program a DOS program that would run in FreeDOS or something tha takes advantage of modern 3D graphics cards? Like, is it possible to create a game that competes with today's titles for a DOS operating system? And if so why hasn't anybody done anything …

It was either a Pentium 233Mhz MMX or a Celeron 266Mhz. The video card was a Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo 1 addon card to a Matrox Mystique. Good times. I remember playing Counter-Strike Beta 5 at 7 FPS. I remember clearly having to lower the screen resolution AND shrink the actual playing screen (not …

No. Indy 3 FM Towns doesn't either. Actually, I don't think any of the FM Towns versions has speech (even Atlantis).

I'd pay $50 straight up for this. The $10 they'll probably be asking for is nothing for this level of quality!
