Battlezone 2 All the coolness of Battlezone thrown away for a throwaway scifi cliche plot and setting, all for that wanting to be "the Intel Pentium III SSE GAME" at the top priority.

You're going to loathe this suggestion although you do have a SBLive (which makes no sense for dos gaming with anyway), but... have you tried Windows ME?

Bioshock as a whole. It was said to be the OMG THE SPIRITUAL SEUCESOR TO SS2!!! but all it is, is a hyped up plain shooter with barely anything from its spiritual predecessor. It's less than Doom, and it's only graded on the 'experience'. Ken Levine goes on like "ya we're gaming godz uh huh yep we …

AOpen was always a low-effort and misguided company - their Voodoo2 is hilarious because the design had minimal difference (though to be fair before the 3dfx V2-1000 came to the market, this was THE most 'vanilla' Voodoo2 one could get) and the software bundle was 20 different demo CDs each with one …

Half-Life 2, Deus Ex 2, and Quest for Glory V. When I bring up HL2 being bad even at the slightest bit, it always summons rabid blind insult defense forces. Hope there isn't any here. It doesn't end there - the new XCOM and DNF are a couple of console-tailored DONOTWANTS.

I'm curious, though, what the rationale is for the hard-line stance against uploaded versions of the game. It's illegal. Not to mention in most cases it's the most 'broken' way to play DOS games, clearly as evidenced in this very thread. It's stupid to debug an error only caused by modified …

You wouldn't need DOSBox for games that are too fast on a P3 - just turn off the internal cache. You would only need a P4 2GHz if say you wanted to run US Navy Fighters at 1280x1024...

the uploader's a dumbass. Also you followed a tutorial from an abandonware site. I think there's many things in common relating to why the game is not working, but I can assure you that a real ROTH game can start many times successfully no problem within DOSBox.

Why play Blake Stone with that when the Quicksave/Quickload keys in the game work just fine? 😜

No, they came with a CMF player. The ones that did come with a MIDI player are Win16 apps that use the MIDI Mapper.

Assumingly great. Don't bother with its 3D portion, as long as you don't even care about its infamous 3d decelerator, it's an okay makeshift S3 Trio substitute. As for dodgy PCI implementation i've have one of those myself (as do all 486s) and the S3 still wasn't a bad idea. Its a definite step up …
