Sounds like the first one you got was a downloader trojan, and who knows what else it downloaded and installed without your knowledge. I'd take a closer look at your system. I did. Boot time scan and everything after trying to get the second game threw up virus warnings. The first one really did …

Just saying that it seems to be the only way these days to get any appreciable number of viewers, maintain growth and ensure continued exposure... as sad as that is. Though if you're fine without it, more power to you (no sarcasm). Actually, the fact that I've had over 200,000 total views without …

There's numerous reasons why I don't have a YouTube account, including the way they handle their policies, their lack of any real tech support, the fact that the entire system is self-policed by the viewers... the list goes on. Plus, five of the people I've watched in the past number of years have …

Looking for Twin-Stick Shooters? Be Careful... >_>;

So around 4 AM I was a bit bored and thought about seeing what kind of twin-stick shooters were out there which I never heard of. Seemed like an innocent enough thing to do, right? After a bit of standard searching I find a page about this one that sounded interesting enough, and the screenshot had …

I don't actually have an interest in the game. Don't get me wrong, it looks intriguing, but I'm very picky-choosey about games with RPG elements. Plus, lots of tiny text and my computer's only powerful enough to record SD stuff so it wouldn't make for a good filler anyways. :P

If you want something less mindless, System Shock is a definite candidate, though it's more of a first-person adventure than a shooter, even though you do indeed do a lot of shooting. ;) Two of my favourites are Magic Carpet and Magic Carpet 2, although these games are kinda buggy. Avoid "Magic …

for me, hard disks are some of the most trusted components. So far my track record, not counting replaced-under-warranty/repaired equipment: Dead or Dying Joysticks/Gamepads: 7 Dead or Dying HDs: 4 Dead or Dying Mice: 4 Dead or Dying Graphics Cards: 3 Dead CD Drives: 2 Dying CRT Monitors: 2 Dead …

My experience with hard drives has been... interesting. I've learned that the more powerful a current drive is compared to what's available when you buy it, the more likely it will fail sooner, whereas the cheaper drives that don't have the same capacity or speed, but are still name-brand and made …

Played any of the Skunny platformers? You haven't heard irritating, repetitive AdLib music until you've played them... I actually intend to review some Skunny games during Season 3... there will be pain. >_>;;; Actually, Skunny Kart isn't so bad, though the way it ended up getting made in the first …

I can confirm that in the DOS version of Bubble Bobble when you get to level 50 without dying once a door appears that warps you to level 70. I know this, because I cheated to get to level 50. I wondered if there were any cheats for the DOS version. As stated in the review, info specifically on the …

What was the thing on your arm that changed into stuff supposed to be? A Guardian Key Tool. ...you haven't ever watched ReBoot, have you? That entire ending sequence was a parody of a scene from one of its early episodes. :o Actually I did. My memory of it just isn't good. In that case, you haven't …

Oooh! I figured out what was up with the ring and shoe powerups: They only work properly when Tandy graphics are engaged. XD Seriously, over the past couple hours I tested a ton of DOSBox settings, cycles counts, core types, etc., and in the end, the only time the shoes were showing up at the normal …

I love Bubble Bobble too, though when I was really young, I used to confuse it with Puzzle Bobble. Same characters in both, I think? Yup. Taito used the same characters across several games: Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars, Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move... all of those games have Bub …

The Season 2 Finale of Ancient DOS Games, Episode 100 - Bubble Bobble , is online! :D ...even though it's technically my 122nd video. ^_^; But yeah, if the number of correct guesses in the credits this week seems small, consider that almost half of the guesses were for Jetpack, and there were a …

Great King's Quest episode Kris, I wanted to throw something out there about the first game you may want to look into if you haven't already. There is a fan VGA remake of the first three King's Quest games that from what I played, are actually pretty good. If you haven't check them out, they are …

King's Quest I AGI supports MCGA graphics. MCGA support was added to AGI after EGA and Hercules support so all those IBM PS/2 Model 25 & 30 owners would not have to suffer 4-color CGA graphics. Makes sense, though figuring this out can be hard since there's no MCGA-specific machine mode in DOSBox …
