Update: There's a recent video by Grimbeard. He mentions that someone had to tear apart the code and find the flags.

I think it was because I saw the gameplay in your early video that I found out about the game and got a copy shortly after.

Youtube engagement - I find it strange that watching the video doesn't mean anything. Subscribing - I don't have an account on Youtube. Therefore I can't subscribe or do any of the things you mentioned as engagement. Whenever someone on Youtube says a certain number aren't subscribed, I take that as …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 292 - Afterlife is online! I think I got the jewel case and strategy guide at a garage sale. You mention that the DOS and Macintosh versions are confusing to differentiate. That was a significant problem for me when I was looking for a copy of DarkSeed II. Concerning …

Too few entries - These don't have the "Game List- view complete list" link. I can add "list-games/" to the address bar to get to the more detailed page it would have taken me to. Too many entries - I saw elsewhere that site members have the option to list 100 games per page. I wouldn't have thought …
MobyGames Database Question
Posted on 2021-06-13, 18:11
I figure someone might know of a faster way to do this. I want a list of every game for a given platform. One issue is too few entries. If I select a system with around 200 games I get a short list of titles without a link for more details. So if I want the years I also have to filter by that and …

It kind of split into two different but related series. And then they didn't go any further with them for some reason. The series is the fight against the 3 Serpent Riders. Heretic features D'Sparil. SotSR shows Corvus' banishment and Heretic 2 is his return after Hexen 2 takes place. Hexen …

Some clarification. It looks like GOG used the UK release of the game. The "patch" provides the files to convert the UK release to the US release. So owners of the US 4CD set will already have the patched game.

I see in the video description you learned about the border changing color. DOSBox doesn't handle this well compared to actual hardware. There's a thread from 2005 discussing it here.

Ancient DOS Games Filler #65 - Descent 3 is online! My memory of this game is that the controls were way too slippery. The level design wasn't nearly as interesting as the previous games. The train level was a nightmare. The combat felt messy in the new environments. And while I could still enjoy …

In the 90s there was a store called Toy Land. They had a mix of new toys and ones from the previous decade like Ultraman, Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, Computer Warriors, Centurions, Sectaurs, or Sky Commanders. They also had one isle for damaged packaging. I had bought an Air Raiders vehicle from …

I've been given a 5 1/4" floppy. There is one file named MEMBERS.DB that is 44 kb in size. What are some programs that might have created it? Is there a modern method for viewing its contents?

I know the light bridges well. What you described is what I was referring to. I'm thinking more in terms of basic knowledge on how to use a mouse. Point and click are common practice. Click and drag may not have been as common but did have examples at the time. It's less a matter of no other puzzles …

The Dig can definitely get tedious. It gives you a lot to do but so little of it leads to any progress in the story. The worst part for me was the light bridges. Click and drag for the bones was something Windows does yet back in the DOS era I can see how that would have been an advanced control …
