Lower the cycles count.

Use DOSBox. Image the discs. Use IMGMOUNT and Ctrl+F4 to change the discs.

Mounting a DAEMON Tools virtual drive in DOSBox has never given me a problem. You can also mount the ISO image directly with the IMGMOUNT command.

Most guesses I've made I was already familiar with that game. However Volfied was one that discovered with some quick research based on the clue. For this clue I didn't find much but I did figure that Elite was too well known to be the right answer.

Click here. It seems she doesn't know the dir/p switch or the %appdata% variable. Also abandonware and some bad language if you look at the games she has in her directory.

I think you need to proofread. That or I don't get the same enjoyment out of Ebay that you do. Currently I don't have the money to build different systems. Though I do look around at different part and see if prices or my circumstances have improved a year later.
Re: What does the game industry have against FPS controls in third-person games?
Posted on 2011-10-24, 03:25
Personally, I dislike when games do stuff like that automatically for you. Like when the game puts up arrows to tell you which way the enemy is or shows when they're in range. It's like they think the player is too stupid to figure these things out for themselves. Oh, I didn't mean it automatically …

I have noticed the "press to face" trend lately. I don't have any complaints about it though. In Dead Space the right mouse button is used for aiming so the character swings into the right position if he wasn't already facing the target. I don't see any difference when moving either. Old method, …
Re: DOS FPS: Anyone actually use the mouse for moving?
Posted on 2011-10-21, 18:02
For movement in most early games I prefer: Left hand - Ctrl, Alt, Space Right hand - Arrow keys with turning With games that allowed mouse look I started using: Left hand - Arrow keys with sidestep Right hand - Mouse In Descent I used: Left hand - Arrow keys, Numpad Right hand - Mouse It wasn't …
Re: DOS FPS: Anyone actually use the mouse for moving?
Posted on 2011-10-21, 01:37
The mouse should be for turning and looking up or down if allowed by the game mechanics. I wouldn't want to side step with the mouse. Why did anyone think I might want step forward and back with it. If I want to use the mouse for turning and a game insists on using the other axis for walking I use …

Aw, you didn't pick up on it in the review, but in addition to nicking Hoth from Star Wars, Gallifrey is the planet of the Time Lords from the Dr. Who series... which makes their little blurb "Time is running out for the inhabitants of this planet" something of a terrible, terrible pun. I thought …
Re: Organizing DOS games on your hard drive
Posted on 2011-10-14, 22:07
I like to keep the 8 letter Caps Lock naming conversion when mounting folders in DOSBox. For most games I had C:\DOS\GAMES mounted and let them install to there. For games that belong to a series I mount a subfolder such as GAMES\CATACOMB, GAMES\COM_KEEN, GAMES\T_MURPHY. There are also games that …
Re: Win16/DOSBox?
Posted on 2011-10-06, 17:58
There are many games that work well in a Windows 3.1 DOSbox and some that don't. I think a better solution for Windows 3.1 is VPC 2007. I find the colors make posts harder to read.
