Re: Admiral Sea Battles - Unable to install on Windows 10

UniExtract is applied to cab files, it won't work on setup.exe. You should check out Virtualbox, it's free and there are many tutorials that will help you set up Win98. It's fairly quick and painless. You can then copy over your game files from the VM to W10 if you want. You might not even need …

Re: Problem with Powerslave on Windows 10

This probably has nothing to do with W10 being bad. I think your config may be bad or you are making some incorrect assumptions in your setup. Chasm works perfectly well in Dosbox on W10, played through it a few years ago. It requires some patches and Dynamic core. Even runs well in the high …

Try Win 95/98 compatibility mode on the installer executable. If that fails, see if the game files can just be copied straight from the CD or you could extract the cab files with UniExtract. If the game complains about registry values, do what eddman suggested. You should probably remove one of …

When was the subtitle "Hell on Earth" added to Doom 2's title?

This is a bit of a rant. I was just playing today's guessthegame and was very confused. On my second try, I correctly IMO guessed Doom II: Hell on Earth. This was considered wrong. It turns out they have two separate entries, Doom II (the correct one in this case) and Doom II: Hell on Earth. Huh …

By the way, you can right click on the banner to reveal some hidden options. Play around with those, maybe try borderless window. This is probably yet another W11 issue, it has broken compatibility with a bunch of things. I don't get the cursor on my end in 10.

If you run it through dgvoodoo with an app that shows the framerate, you'll see it's running at 120 fps without vsync. And you don't need a 120 hz monitor for that. You played it at that framerate back then too, you just never noticed. The retail CD 1.3 and the GOG version both run smoothly for me …
