I have some unique information regarding the Sega Master System version of Ultima IV. In addition to the instruction manual, there were two extremely rare (bonus, or promotional?) booklets (too large to fit into the game's plastic case) titled The History of Brittania and The Book of Mystic Wisdom. …

I have this card boxed and might be able to create images on the diskettes if there's interest... What utility program do you use to transfer floppy "images" onto your floppy disks when you are making copies (to get the install software to recognize the disk as a "legitimate, original" install disk …

You can run the game in DOSBOX of course, if you don't have a Pentium 133 or slower. The Demo is a great, hassle-free way to try the game -- it has full functionality, no copy protection, and a comprehensive "readme" file telling you how to fly (and land) your Stormovik!

Anything faster than a Pentium 133 (well...you might squeak by with up to a Pentium 200) and you won't be able to take off. Even on the P133 and slower Pentiums, you must press the "T" key when you are ready to take off, or else you will stay on the ground. After you take off, you will need to press …

Mine is from one of my favorite Windows 95 games: Rocket Jockey!

Try the demo that I linked to. Or, you can figure out a lot of the words from the full version's copy protection by looking at a Russian-to-English alphabet key, like the one at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_alphabet Many of the phrases/words that the game's copy protection asks …

That combo key press doesn't work on my Gateway (but thanks for the suggestion). 😐

I had no idea the Milliways forum was used to discuss old game titles. 😊

Just wondering if any of you VOGON'ers have tried this old (1990) flight sim, and what are your thoughts? It's probably my favorite vintage flight sim...and, it runs on practically everything, from a 286/8mhz up to a Pentium 133. Optimally, a 12mhz or faster processor will be smoothest -- and if you …

User "Anonymous Coward" has pointed me to a nice Acculogic RAMPAT! card, and even gave me an ebay link where I was able to purchase it! Hopefully it will arrive fully functional and I will be enjoying LIM 4 EMS computing goodness very soon!!! 😁

I need an EMS card that is 11 inches (or less) in length. Necessary to fit into a shortish 286 XT case. Anyone got any suggestions? Must have at least 2mb of LIM 4.0 compliant EMS memory. I forgot to mention...since it's for a Tandy 1000, it needs to work in an 8-bit ISA slot! [I tried to delete …

It looks like I'm having some success by changing the "Standby" cpu speed in my 486's Phoenix BIOS, and then disabling the keyboard and mouse wake-up options. The BIOS allows for 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 cpu slow-down in its Standby states, so hopefully this will make very old speed-sensitive games …

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I tried the CTRL+ALT+KP MINUS combo, but didn't have any luck. It looks like I may have to resort to changing mobo jumpers internally (ughh!) if I want to reduce speed. Or, I did notice in the system's (crappy) Phoenix BIOS that there are options for reducing the " …

My newly-acquired Gateway 2000 P4D-66 has a "TURBO" light on the front of the computer, but no Turbo button to switch between 33 and 66mhz. I'd like to be able to slow down to 33mhz for very old games, but after searching the computer's Phoenix BIOS I don't even see an option there to "de-Turbo" my …
