I think arranging the list in alphabetical order makes easier cross checking if the titles provided by the contributors are already on the list.

The Secret of Monkey Island (though they needed to be knocked out as soon as they are met - nothing violent, though). Monkey Island 2 : Le Chuck's Revenge. The dog also named Guybrush.
Re: Last Thinkpad to have XP support?
Posted on 2020-08-30, 14:38
Yes, I guess T530 is the way to go. And yes, I actually was looking for a used Thinkpad and I don't mind getting used ones, since these Thinkpads are actually built like tanks (well, at least the IBM ones) - "Tankpad"! :D: Both my T42 and X230 are bought second-hand. And they are still rock-solid. I …
Last Thinkpad to have XP support?
Posted on 2020-08-30, 05:51
Good day, Anyone know what is the last Thinkpad to have official support for Windows XP? (Official, meaning the drivers are or were available for download from Lenovo.) I have a modest Thinkpad X230 with core i7-3520m (got cheap, used). Wanted to get another Thinkpad but with full-sized keyboard and …

Re: Today is Windows 95's 25th Birthday. Share your memories.
Posted on 2020-08-28, 04:03
Those days, I was not much knowledgable about computers that much, hardware-wise, since all I cared about were the software running on it - games, games, games and applications like Wordstar and LOGO. And did I mention games? Adventures from Sierra, Lucasfilm/Lucasarts, Simulations & Strategy from …
Re: What is your Favorite CPU and Why ?
Posted on 2020-08-15, 11:58
I have a fondness for the intel Pentium 133 and Intel 486DX2-66. (Though I grew up with XTs and ATs, I was not much aware of the CPUs at that time, and all I cared about was the games running on it, from Zaxxon, Lode Runner to Karateka and Pit Stop.) I bought (actually asked to get for me, after …

All Windows : Show Hidden Files & Extensions of Known Types. (Don't know why MS thought hiding these was a good idea.) Newer Windows : Explorer -> Show files in LIST view Win9x : Install Microsoft Plus!. Set up my favourite Desktop Theme. Newer Windows (XP, 7) : Install MUNT. (A must for me. Can't …

Re: Dosbox dropping pressed keys?

Just dropped in to contribute my similar experiences in GODS while running distribution-specific packages of Dosbox in both latest Arch Linux and Mint 19.3. The spartan becomes unresponsive while a directional movement key is being pressed. I needed to release and press the key again. EDIT : …

Hey folks, I need the driver for a Sound Blaster Pro 2 (CT1600) but the file/package listed as Sound blaster pro 2 if you look inside actually says it-s the SB Pro Deluxe... Are all these interchangeable? Sorry, been away for sometime, and currently stuck in another country since the covid-19 began …
Re: The ALS4000 PCI Sound Card - PCI SB Compatibility in Newer Systems
Posted on 2020-03-13, 15:39
Herculean effort there Malik! Couple of things I'm wondering: 1. Does it send Midi signals through the game port? 2. Have you tried the card on an even newer board? Modern boards allow you to switch of cores, reduce the FSB and lower the CPU multiplier. On an Asrock socket 1156 board I had an i5 …

CALL that Bat, is easy to remember. Yes, it's the CALL command to run an external BATCH file and returns back to the caller. ---***--- call liveinit.bat ---***--- Or you can also "pass" the responsibility to the liveinit.bat file, by placing the "call liveinit.bat" statement at the end of the …
Re: Is it really worth it to fix a voodoo3 card now these days?
Posted on 2020-03-01, 02:56
I was just browsing the Voodoo cards at ebay today, before seeing this thread, and was surprised to see how bloated the prices are nowadays. I think if you can fix it, you can sell it for a good price.

While I was resurrecting one of my P2 based project, I remembered about the Unlocked PII CPUs, and was searching for the list. For convenience sake, here is the list. The results are from our own members here and all credits to them. I just wanted to put up this list for easy reference. Any more …
Re: Crusader No Remorse - Black screen in DOS, will NOT boot!
Posted on 2020-02-03, 00:35
Crusader engine is quite picky. Try not to do anything "overkill" for this series. Stay as old as possible when it comes to hardware. What soundcard are you using? Try running without sound. I once had problem with Crusader No Regret and a 440BX mobo with 256MB RAM. Limiting the available memory by …

twiz11 , Maybe you should do your research before starting threads with misleading and obviously wrong titles. Tip: if you want to use the thread itself for a discussion where you would learn such things, it is better to phrase the title as a question rather than a rather bold statement. ;) Agree …

Honestly saying, I liked the older design...maybe because I got used to it for the past 15 years. But I also feel this new design is also good. I tried reverting back to "old skool" theme, but the purple looks too bright and the font color is not the same, so I reverted back to normal theme. One …
