Sorry for necromancing. CM does works in DosBox with machine=ega, animated revolver-themed intro including. There's that pesky file called setup.exe ;) with ega/vga choice - but sound device can be changed in game too... PS God, i hated that my copy BID was set to EGA (and apparently setup.exe was …

@digger Well, looks like at last i have good motivation for some screenshoting and image trimming ahead ;) ...sadly the only game with not "already taken" palette i remember right now is Popcorn - and red looked so much better than magenta ;) PS Sopwith...never thought about it before - why did …

Soviet 'mass-produced' PCs: [hr] Full-up ES1841 (CGA with HDD, RAM expansion to 640k conventional or 1 mb ramdisk ). Non-existant (in working condition) compared to rare nowadays ES1841 basic config (CGA,512k RAM, 2 FDDs - had one at home during early middle school - with 1 mb ramdisk which i would …

Filename dl.png File size 106.36 KiB Views 2123 views Deadlock:Planetary Conquest was not bad as 4x TBSes of time went - somehow Civ2 didn't took off for me (only Civ1) but this thing did. IIRC req. WinG but not Win32s.

I generally like games with stories and/or atmosphere and/or pretty graphics. These were fairly rare in early days of PC gaming, but not nonexistent: look at the Silmarils games, for example. Coincidentally, most of these that had story and visuals were RPGs. :cool: Well, in my 'CGA miceless XT …

King's Bounty is a no go, tried couple of CGA emulators, no success though. Wow, you are correct! King's Bounty worked like a charm with -H switch. Can I ask how did you find out this particular piece of information? Research path: Googled 'King's Bounty DOS Hercues', found KB in too many lists - …

Just looked up your Tandon thread and realized it's 286. This brought other memories(those i've played on 286+EGA/VGA, though maybe they're XT games): Shufflepuck - fantasy air tennis https://d.radikal.ru/d15/1810/71/330401b74a9c.png https://a.radikal.ru/a27/1810/54/98db87d3ebf7.png Zeliard - …

King's Bounty is a no go, tried couple of CGA emulators, no success though. [did some research - Hercules was listed as supported on too many a/w sites - and voila!] Runs like a charm in dosbox at least.Forced adapter choice, not menu - start via 'KB H'. https://d.radikal.ru/d02/1810/13/ …

Wanted to do retro activity, but got sidetracked by stupid Windows 10. :angry: Win10 x64 build 1803 on p35 mobo, PQI TraveFlash USB2.0 from 2002-2003 with Kingston 512mb from about same era - works normally. Maybe physical problems on your reader/card side? Symptoms similar to common 'dead card' …

Hi! Huge deed there you've doing, thanks for it ;) An offtopic question, but it's related and for nostalgy's sake - and this forum is all about nostalgy and appreciation of old PC technology and software :cool: Thread is 'not D3D/..' - but is anywhere trustworthy list of old D3D games supporting S3 …

Title says it all, really, but allow me to add some flavour to it. I am trying to compile a list of best CGA and Hercules games to play Games that were playable and played a lot on ES1841 (4.77MHz CGA 512k RAM (+1mb RAMDISK - but that was used to hold DOS if at all). Most are NOT obscure. More or …
