What am I playing? My 2 years old loves it so much, though. Everytime she says "daddy, vroom vroom!" it means she wants to sit on my lap while I'm playing the game. :) https://i.postimg.cc/m2SRXRCx/Racing-2021-04-26-22-38-54-58.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/K8vbCVD1/Racing-2021-04-28-15-55-06-11.jpg …

Ooh, I grabbed Red Faction at a huge discount some time ago too, but haven't gotten to play it yet. I have good memories of the demos (there are two different demos, I liked the one which shows some part from the beginning of the game, but does not allow to save your progress) which I played some …

If that isn't a beautiful picture of a fun family moment I don't know what is. I got my old Compaq presarrio 4402 back from my in-laws basement and I'd really like to get it fixed up as a dos/wfw 3.11 system for some of the games that don't run fantastic on the socket A XP pro system and have them …

Games are supposed to be fun dagnabbit so I approve of this enhancement 👍 Heheh. Red Baron II (and Red Baron 3D) was praised because of its realism, so one might think I lose some of the game's value by not playing on maximum realism. However, I'm not playing the game for realism; I'm playing it …

So I eventually resorted to cheat. I edited the file rb2sim.ini, and then changed bulletMassFactor = 180 to bulletMassFactor = 1800. This has similar effect with Easy Aiming in Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, but it has additional side effect of instantly killing your opponent, because it increase your …

That was me, using the easiest flight model against novice enemy, and still couldn't bring him down. Perhaps it's time to say "TO HELL WITH THAT" and start using cheats to make the game more enjoyable. Aaaargh!

it's mostly for security reasons, why take a risk with unsupported systems? Yes, but not because of security reasons, but because it's highly impractical to browse anything using retro rigs these days. I don't think 440BX/Windows 98 system is fast enough to browse modern sites today --if they can …

In what format do you store your game? I used to store them in Nero images (.NRG), but now I gradually convert them into CUE/BIN format. Well, ISO can work too, but ISO cannot contain games with mixed mode format (both Redbook and data in one media). ISO for the majority, Cue/Bin for mixed mode …
