Ancient DOS Games Filler #101 - Planet Crafter is online! I've been getting a lot of play time out of this modern indie title as it's filling a niche which I feel has begun to form... I was born in the early 80s and as such I represent the first generation of gamers who have spent their ENTIRE LIFE …

Ancient DOS Games Pro 30 - Minimum Winning Scores - Commander Keen is online! I wasn't 100% certain how easy or difficult this process was going to be before I started, but I had a hunch it was at the very least possible to do in a reasonable amount of time. Turns out, because most things in the …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 331 - Star Hammer is online! I was fully expecting this game to be super-simple and barely result in much of an episode. Turns out... it was indeed super-simple but I ended up with a surprising amount to say about it despite that, as the notion that this feels like a "2D …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 330 - Realms of Chaos is online! This one basically gave me the same treatment that Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure did: Perfectly playable shareware portion, followed by a MASSIVE difficulty spike for the registered portion. >_< Granted, the main issue with the game was the level …

Ancient DOS Games Mod 12 - Level Editing - Duke Nukem is online! So it turns out the original Duke Nukem has surprisingly simple formats for much of its data. The only trouble is that the data itself isn't exactly straightforward in how it translates into game functionality. Fortunately, Duke Nukem …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 329 - Action Fighter is online! THIS one was a long time coming... :P For anyone who's been watching my show since near the beginning, my sixth filler video ever was to showcase my actual Tandy 1000 computer and show some gameplay, with the very first game I showed being my …

Ancient DOS Games Filler #100 - Fractint is online! Sorry this was a week late but I kinda got sick a couple Sundays ago. Even waiting as long as possible to get the voicework done for this video to be able to upload it tonight I still don't quite sound perfect, but good enough really. :B I'm sure …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 328 - Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity is online! The first time I played this game was when I borrowed it from a friend back in the mid-90s to run on our Pentium 120 system. It... wasn't really playable. The battle engine ran way too fast and I couldn't tell what to do half …

Re: MURI, I'm also not entirely sure how one makes an "EGA"-styled game and gets the brown all wrong (RGBI #6)... in the footage there's no brown but there's clearly a dark yellow, aka "SkiFree dog pee". That may've been a stylistic choice. Dark yellow as opposed to brown is better suited for glow …

By the way MURI is unplayably slow with Tulatin 1400. Like how the hell can they make games soooo uneffective cpu unwise. At least Core2 and Atom runs it good. And at least it supports XP. This almost certainly has nothing to do with the CPU or GPU. Older versions of modern engines, notably …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 327 - Isle of the Dead is online! (NOTE: This is a mature-rated video.) This is a bad game, there's no denying that... but I think out of all of the bad first person shooters I've played which are OBJECTIVELY bad, this is perhaps the most playable of the bunch... Not that …

Ancient DOS Games Pro 29 - Stat Balance - Seek and Destroy is online! I honestly expected this to be trickier to figure out, but the results actually turned out to be incredibly straightforward and almost not even worthy of making a full video out of it, so to help pad the length I spend a couple …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 326 - Unnatural Selection is online! I kinda had high hopes for this one given that I actually found quite a bit of fun in some slightly more modern games themed around genetic manipulation, as those modern games had actual gene mechanics in place. Unnatural Selection …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 325 - Avoid the Noid is online! This... actually turned out better than I was expecting. I mean, not at first as the keyboard controls suck, but once I plugged in a gamepad it became WAY more playable! Though it's also a bit short and has elements which WOULD be infuriating …

The only thing I remember standing out was a microphone change early on. I've actually had THREE mic changes up to this point now... technically. I started out using the mic in a crappy $60 webcam, moved on to using the mic in a Sony camcorder I bought when I covered Covert Action, got a Blue Yeti …

Ancient DOS Games Filler #99 - MURI is online! There were a couple reasons why I held off on covering this for as long as I did, given that this was a game mimicking the style and gameplay of the original Duke Nukem made in 2013 for modern computers. The first was that I didn't actually like the …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 324 - PC Golf & PC Pro-Golf is online! I was originally intending only to cover PC Golf as we actually had this game on our Tandy 1000 SX way back when I was a kid. In fact, it was there from Day 1 of Dad owning the thing, meaning the guy doing the setup and installation …

As for having to hold Ctrl to activate the rubber-band selection, I believe this is present in all versions of the game. Or, at least, I don't remember any that would simply allow you to drag the box without holding Ctrl. (IIRC, the GOG release should have the CD version 1.21, which is the latest …
