Actually, learning Chinese is not a bad idea. (The Chinese poem you referenced is not really more weird than James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher ) As for most games ending up in one of the two major lingua franca languages, I guess this is more …

Re: Surface Tension demo crashes in v.074

However, it may not be obvious that the contents of the archive should be treated like a cdrom for installation and playing. I know that. It would not let me install if I did not mount it as a CD-ROM drive in the first place. Moreover I have also tried a different demo (a repacked version of the …

Surface Tension demo crashes in v.074

Posted on 2017-10-11, 15:47

I'm trying to run the Surface Tension demo in v0.74 (stock version that came with my Linux distro) but it crashes upon start with a segmentation fault message. I'm running this with cycles=auto 7800 limit 70% 26800 and everything else pretty much set to default. I've tried using no EMS and different …

For anyone interested, I've uploaded the v1.3 demo here: gundemo2.exe . It's the official installer from Mad Genius Software. I have a feeling GUNMUSIC.ZIP would of contained the original mixes of the games music. GUNMUSIC.ZIP sure is the music add-on for the first demo, as mentioned in the readme …

I just took an interest in the game, you can get the 0.99 demo (which I think is the original one) either here or here , although neither seems to be the original distribution of this version. Sadly the official website of the developers is very badly preserved by the Wayback Machine, and I couldn't …

It appears that the Future Shock demo preserved by The Gamer's Inn is v0.142, as opposed v0.144 which has been found earlier (available here for example). These two releases are only several hours apart (the difference is in SHOCK.EXE), I guess there was some last-minute bug fixing involved.

I just found another old site which has some of its file archived preserved by the Wayback Machine: The Gamer's Inn . It was listed here . Some notable highlights: The Terminator: Rampage Demo v1.20: ramdemo.zip The Terminator: Future Shock Demo v0.142: shockdem.zip Zyclunt DOS Demo: zyclunt.zip …

Any modern oldschool top-down 2D RPGs?

Relatively recently I discovered Haxima , a free open source RPG that closely follows in the footsteps of the earlier Ultima games both in visual style and gameplay mechanics. While there are many different modern recreations (both open- and closed-source) of various popular games from previous …

Random indie game findings

A while ago I developed a habit of browsing IndieDB and later itch.io , taking note of the various games that caught my attention for whatever reason. As it happens though, quite often I don't have the time to check them out properly, so to keep track of these findings I started writing them down. …

Re: Similar games to Castle of the Winds

Posted on 2017-04-29, 09:38

in Milliways
The games I remember were Part 1 and Part 2 essentially, probably Win3.1 applications and with very few colors used throughout, so very similar to Castle of the Winds in that regard. I remember that the character sprite resembled a knight in armor, maybe someone's played it? Could it have been the …

Re: Shadow warrior 3DFX -don't work

Posted on 2017-03-15, 10:40

Note though that at least some screenshots are excessively blurry because I used output=opengl and some of the shots were recorded using FRAPS instead of the built-in screen capture tool. I should have used output=direct3d I guess. Also the duke4.net forums thread I have linked to actually gives the …
