Ishar 2 - Messengers of Doom gameplay design

Posted on 2010-06-15, 07:43

I bought the Ishar trilogy compilation from gog.com, and I'm playing the second game, Messengers of Doom. During the game, my party met a bunch of guards and needed to get past them all, and so a fight ensued. My party's physical strength got drained during this fight, and I couldn't finish the …

For over a decade my solution to playing old games was to use an actual old computer. Unfortunately, that computer has now bit the dust for good. I understand your old machine has died, and from reading your post, I am guessing that it had Windows 95/98 on it. I think your solution is to replace …

Regarding the recursive photo - Junior is playing Jedi mind tricks on you! But seriously, h-a-l-9000 is correct. I took a photo of the netbook, and wanted to see how it looked, so I viewed it on the netbook. Then, as this photo was still on screen, I took another photo of the netbook, and used that …

Re: What DOS game are you playing right now?

I'm playing Dungeon Hack (SSI, 1993, DOS). You wander about in a randomly generated dungeon maze, fighting beasts and looking for the stairs down to the next level. You can customize the way the game plays in the options section. For example, I set the max number of levels to 10. When you get to …

I must confess to being completely ignorant about installing Win9x on to a more modern Windows OS, using a virtual "parent" app. As I am very keen on getting Win9x to run on old hardware, I do not need this functionality. For this netbook, I am happy to stick to DOSBox. (I still want to complete my …

RG100 looks up the word "Argos" using Wikipedia, and now understands. I meant Argos the retailer, not Argos the Greek city. Regarding the battery, there's a sticker on the front right section that says "max. 11h". I reckon that's a good battery.

Bought a netbook

I just got a netbook. One of the first things I installed on it was DOSBox, version 0.74. I am currently playing Dungeon Hack, an RPG published by SSI in 1993. It uses the 2nd edition AD&D rules. The Toshiba NB 300 netbook works OK. It cost £230 (270 euro / 330 US $ ) from Argos, and has Windows 7 …

I looked up Imperialism on mobygames, and found this tech spec page - http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/imperialism/techinfo The game's minimum OS requirement is Windows 95. DOSBox can't help you, because it only runs DOS software. If you've tried Windows 7's Win95 compatibility mode, and it …
