That's what a hardcore gamer has always been and that's what the hardcore crowd is now, nothing's changed in that regard. These types of gamers don't whine abt x feature missing or …

I have already read that article and I have a few issues with it. The writer mentions games like Commander Keen and The Seventh Guest as examples of games with good content, yet they both have little content or variety overall. 7th Guest is little more than a bunch of puzzle gmes interspersed with …

Dark Sun always sounded best on the GUS (Gravis Ultrasound) when compared to the other wavetable synths of the day. You'll need to enable it in the soundcard section of your dosbox.conf configuration file. Then you'll need to install the drivers and patches as you would've had to do with a real GUS. …
