Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

In regards to Gunmetal deleting your savefiles when you quit, do make sure that there is a folder named SAVEGAME inside the game directory and that it's possible to write into it, i had the same issue too and what was happening was that, for some reason, it was not creating the SAVEGAME folder after …

Re: Opinions in regards to changes in software over time!

I dislike the overall user interface/web design move towards flat design. Everything everywhere looks the same. Having less visual hints gets to a point where it starts becoming counterproductive, and the excessive use of white on white (alas Windows 10 Appx/Explorer) is exhausting for people like …

Re: Lesser known first person shooters

Gunmetal (1998) I specify the year because there was a different game called Gun Metal released later for the Xbox and i unfortunately have no experiences with that one, also not entirely sure if it's that obscure or not but since I've had a ton of trouble finding any information about it beforehand …

Re: Game ratings and your preference

in Milliways
Personally i don't read stuff from the "big sites" anymore, and there may or may not be reviewers from those sites that are genuine but i can't bother searching for them in a sea of probably, probably not, paid for reviews. I like to look for independent reviewers whenever i can, people just …

Re: Things you regret giving or throwing away?

in Milliways
Probably have given away more stuff that i can remember, but off the top of my head there are two cases. The entirety of my NES game collection was given away/sold to random people when i wasn't looking, along with the console itself too. I gave away my PS1 to a friend as a present for their …

Re: Opinions in regards to changes in software over time!

Fast forward today and game development is a brutal profit driven industry. There is big money to be made, and everyone is in it for the money. "Lovable characters" are now churned out by committees and design studios. Programmers are now asshole brogrammers. Hardly anyone is having fun, apart from …

Re: Older feature phones / smartphones

in Milliways
Not exactly a collector of these things but i do believe i still have most of my old phones laying around. Looking around a little bit i think i have a Kyocera from the 2300 series, monochrome display. One Motorola phone, it looks like a "RAZR" flip-phone, and a blackberry phone, i have no idea …

Stop messing with browser design. Leave long-established features alone (e.g. Home button), or at least give users the option of restoring them easily. (Opera!) Haha, that's something that our discussion group talked about! Most of the group agreed that they wouldn't mind UI experimentation at all …

Opinions in regards to changes in software over time!

in Milliways
Hey everyone! Recently, i had a discussion with some friends about old and new software and how things have changed and it got me wondering what the wonderful forum-goers of VOGONS thought about this topic, and what kind of opinions they would have! More specifically we were discussing about stuff …

Link to the channel/video please? I'd like to see it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd_7OZiO-fQ Here you go! Do note that it's a Spanish video, but it's mostly still game-play, just that it's mixed with some commentary. Here you go -> You know, this reminds me of stuff like ZZT and Kroz, but …

Re: Guess the game!!

Haha, it was pure chance that i guessed it! It just so happened that i follow a tech channel that also has a gameplay channel and they played this game in it! The mites looked so familiar that i just had to jump to his channel to confirm what games it was! Alright, here's one of my favorite games! …

Ahaaa, is iiit... http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/mimi-the-mites This?! Mimi & The Mites, the little blue guys look the same unless this is a completely different game. This game looks interesting though!

Re: Does anyone know where the Gunmetal demo is?

in Milliways
Unfortunately, i have no idea how to get a hold of them, nor do i know if any of the currently available screenshots that you may still be able to find around the web were part of their official website, The company went under pretty much mere months after the game was released to the public and the …

Re: Does anyone know where the Gunmetal demo is?

Hiya, first post ever, been visiting these forums for a while but never got the idea of registering and posting until i found out some people here actually know of this obscure game that i think is a gem! Really glad to see more people enjoying this game out there. Anyway, as for the 0.99 demo, i …
