Re: DOS FPS: Anyone actually use the mouse for moving?

about the whole handedness thing... I'm left-handed, but my right hand has fairly good coordination, so I've never really bothered using "left-handed versions" of stuff (I use right-handed mouse, play right-handed guitar etc). As a kid I was used to playing games with the keyboard (arrow keys on the …

well, that reference site calls itself DOS Tips yet says it's "for Windows 7, VISTA ,XP, NT, Server 2000, Server 2003, Server 2008". [cue Family Guy style showtune parody - "the Windows command prompt isn't DOS, isn't DOS, isn't DOS" ] Do you need the extension-less pathname as a variable? or just …

yeah, I guess that determining the license status of the original CW games would be a headache all unto itself. however, there *is* a DOS port of Beyond Castle Wolfenstein out there - with some enhancements such as SB support. Can't really say how playable or complete it is; but it's been out there …

Also, my first computer was a DOS-based system and in fact, I have never owned or had home-access to anything but DOS-based systems. Never had a C64, Apple ][, Amiga, Atari ST, Mac, or any of those. I'm the same, and I've never owned a NES/any other console either. :P Unless you count one of those …

they're apple ][ at their core heritage so was Dangerous Dave (and the same goes for some other past episodes - Supaplex came from the Amiga, etc.) on the other hand - I'm pretty sure that the only official PC releases of Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond CW came on booter floppies... so I can't really …

Organizing DOS games on your hard drive

Posted on 2011-10-14, 02:12

this is for those of you who hoard games and have a ton of them installed - whether on a true DOS machine, or for use with DOSBox. Not talking about frontends though (since they offer organization methods that have nothing to do with your filesystem). since forever, I've simply been keeping a "GAMES …

ok then, those three extra characters are "EF BB BF" in 8bit ascii, and that's indeed the Byte Order Mark for UTF-8 (if you check the wikipedia link in my previous post). your screenshot also indicates that those .RPD files might be suffering from the same symptom as the .BAT file, since the initial …
