Freelancer on a Widescreen Monitor

Posted on 2011-08-20, 05:56

in Windows
(WARNING: Some of these changes could be considered cheating on multiplayer servers. I only recommend getting Freelancer into widescreen for single-player gaming or checking with the server admins to see if these changes are allowed!) I was recently inspired to have another go at Freelancer, the 3D …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 56 - Abuse is online! I don't think I've ever come across a game with such a bizarre legal status before. I'm not even 100% sure I demystified it correctly. x_x; In any case, this game has always been a curiosity to me, since a lot of people SAY they like it, but few people …

SR1 and 2 are abandon ware the company and i believe the publisher went out of business a long time ago. "Abandonware" is a highly ambiguous and debatable term and one I refuse to use on my show. I need more evidence than just having a couple random places hosting a download to figure out its true …

You actually do a pretty decent job with good production value for the most part. it's not just some kid with a mic and fraps it's ADG. I don't even have Fraps. XD EDIT: i don't know if you take suggestions or not but, if you do could you review street rod 1 and 2. they are pretty old classics and …

Ancient DOS Games Filler #8 - VVVVVV is online! Really, is anyone surprised? ;D I figured since VVVVVV was recently updated to include a level editor, and since that feature alone just made the game about a zillion times better, and since I made my own custom level for it, and because the game is …

Minecraft is kinda bittersweet for me. Now don't get me wrong, I LIKE Minecraft. On the one hand, it's a fun, highly addictive game where you're encouraged to build things and explore a massive world. It allows the capacity to build all sorts of stuff if you're willing to delve into its mechanics …

I'd either have to go with my Pentium 75 or my first 3dfx card. The pentium 75 with a whopping 16MB (I think) of memory... I think I got that before Gemini moved out of 486 territory, so I had the edge in Descent deathmatches (muahaha). The 3dfx card was my first 3d accelerator, which I got for …

I know, I was just being sarcastic. Sarcasm is my preferred form of humour... which can be a little hard to convey without vocal accompaniment. :P But yeah, I wasn't taking you seriously, but wanted to make a statement that would keep anyone else from taking you seriously too. ;)

I had access to a Pentium 120 machine when the most powerful systems out there were Pentium 166s, so that made me feel a bit special for awhile. I could actually play Quake with a decent framerate while all my friends couldn't. ;) Since then, my systems have been relatively strong, capable of …

Thanks for keeping it classy, WolverineDK! >_>; Really though, when you play video games around other people, you tend to be more vocal than usual, and barely surviving a situation such as in the opening of my latest episode is such a moment that requires an exclamation of some sort. You saw the HUD …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 55 - MechWarrior 2 is online! I had some trouble uploading this one, IE: uploading the last episode as the new one by accident, then Blip.tv's system being stubborn to change the files over, so a grand total of 6 people saw the wrong episode by mistake. Apologies to any of …

Custom VVVVVV Levels

Posted on 2011-08-01, 02:24

in Milliways
Yes, I play VVVVVV. Doesn't everyone? ;D OK, obviously it's not a game everyone likes, but its retro charm, 320x240 actual resolution, and catchy music surely hits home for lots of us here on VOGONS. Of course, the latest version has built-in level editing, something I definitely approve of! Granted …

I find this hilarious for three reasons: 1. *I* primarily use IE, but I have other browsers installed just in case something doesn't work properly with it. 2. I have had more problems with Mozilla-based browsers, Opera, and Chrome, than I've ever had with IE. 3. Whenever I report website problems, …

Gemini, my minion. GUESS WHO? You're... difficult to find online at times due to that... erratic schedule of yours. I still have that magazine game demo disc I mentioned to you earlier. You should let me know sometime how to go about making sure I can get that to you. I hope you mean "actively …

Whoa, I've got like four episodes to catch up on! Now that my internet is back (I think for real this time) I must attend to my duties of watching ADG :D Looks like some freaking great games you've covered this month, can't wait to watch One thing I didn't intend was that the last three games have …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 54 - Telengard is online! Yes, this is a much earlier upload than usual. I'm gonna be in bed shortly after posting this message, which would mean I'd be asleep during the normal update period. :P ...I wouldn't wish my circadian rhythm problems on anyone ... >_<; And yeah, …

I think it's important to note I'm not trying to make anything special or worthy of awards, but rather something people can load up and play without even having to think about it, without it interrupting whatever it is they're doing, and without it being full of sounds and music that would …

I think maybe I should base whether I sell such a game or not on how long it takes to make. If it only takes me a couple months (not impossible, I intend to use VisualBASIC) then I should offer it for free to help spur interest in my various other projects, but if it turns out it takes six months of …

Think There's Still a Market for "Desktop Games"?

Posted on 2011-07-25, 14:54

in Milliways
I use the term loosely, but to me a "Desktop Game" is a computer game like Solitare or Minesweeper, where you can start it up and be playing in seconds and don't have to worry about high-end graphics routines and such interfering with any particular applications going in the background. Lately, I've …
