I'm the opposite. Before I even start a game, I pull up a few different sites on the game (video and text walkthrus, player creation guides, maps, etc) and am not shy about referring to them as needed. For me, it makes games more enjoyable and less frustrating. But I'm old and have little time for …

Here's a ~$20 option. mysetup1.jpg Whether or not it works for you, depends upon your particular requirements/fussinesses. :) A slight tweak of the above would be: A serdaco DB15-to-DualMIDIOutputs adapter (another $20) on your soundcard's MIDI out. Then a separate MIDI cable can go to each (one to …

Try being from, say, New Zealand. Nobody offers a shipping option to here. So if I want an MT-32, the only option in the world is literally a tiny handful of ebay listings which offer worldwide shipping. My current options including shipping and import duties are: USD $502 , $ 509 , and $ 605 . …

Space Hulk supports Adlib. Comment out any SET BLASTER / Sound Blaster related configuration. It will probably just poll the Adlib port and give you music and no SFX. Otherwise try to misconfigure the DMA channel temporarily. It should point to a DMA not in use though. As I mentioned in another …

Hey, thanks for the reply! I tried messing around with what I figured would be the sound files and the game wouldn't boot. I was going to experiment further but then realized the cutscenes ends sooner than the track, so the end is cut off anyway. And you're right, those are Amiga music files. …

Quick thought. Might not be of any use. I note that these are the game files of the original DOS version : Screenshot from 2021-03-03 12-16-49.png It may be possible to manipulate the "*pcm*" files, for example zero-byte or zero-fill some or all of them, to 'hack' the game into 'not being able to …

There is an argument to be made that if you post on Vogons, then you're still in the hobby, to some extent. So most of us are just a little bit hypocritical, perhaps. Like some people who purport to being "all about the games" and don't care about the hardware... who as a general rule tend to be the …

The Lost Vikings. An extremely well-balanced game mixing puzzle aspects with arcade and platform aspects, and the excellent-but-simple mechanic of utilising the 3 characters unique skills to collectively solve each level's problems and obstacles. I remember playing this game when it first came out, …
