No. But, I never heard of that game and I'm always interested to learn more about games I never heard of. ;)
Looking for a Very Old Win3.1 Dungeon Crawl
Posted on 2011-06-09, 23:51
OK, I have no idea if anyone's gonna be able to figure this out, but a very long time ago I remember playing this game on someone's computer that was very obviously a Windows 3.1 dungeon crawl and I have not been able to find it since. The only things I remember for sure was that it was …
Re: Crusader No Remorse released on GOG!

I really should pick this game up sometime now that it's up on GOG. I used to have the demo version awhile back and I can remember the controlls were frustrating but that the overall gameplay was fun. I completely forget how I obtained the demo version though... I don't even know if I have it hiding …

There's way too many awesome game tunes to really go into from my perspective, both in old games and in modern games, but I'll mention a few of my favourites. Batman on the NES, along with virtually every good and bad game made by Sunsoft had some of the best music on the system because they put …
Re: Game demos that were not like there retail releases?

The Mechwarrior II demo was simply a mission from the full game, but with a completely different array of Mechs... the result was a nearly impossible mission because the total tonnage of all the Mechs you end up fighting is MUCH higher. The Daggerfall demo limited you to a particular island, but …

I think it works either way. For now, there's only about a new page to this thread every couple weeks or so, but I imagine that could change in the future. ...which just made me realize I REALLY need to get some links going directly to VOGONS from my website. Right now, the only way in is through …
Re: slowdown utilities - how effective? - especially views on mo'slo
Posted on 2011-06-06, 01:44
I would like to note that DOSBox works perfectly fine on Windows 98. ;) As for slowdown programs, there's only one such program I've ever used that doesn't result in skippy performance, and it's simply called "slow". (I completely forget how I found and I don't even know if I still have it because …

I believe Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE) is the tool of choice now; it provides the essential features of Morrowind FPS Optimizer in a less quirky manner, plus a truckload of other optional features (distant terrain, HDR effects, etc.). I ended up not using it for much more than the FPS …

Copy protection: The funny thing is that Bethesda actually included a file with Arena with an obvious name (SPELLS.LST I think) that is nothing more than a list of spell names and their values, although the values are binary encoded. I don't think it was ever intended to be really strong protection …

I imagine getting the license to do System Shock is going to take a whole bunch of effort. I'm also kinda surprised Dungeon Keeper's been added as a stand-alone title, instead of combined with Dungeon Keeper 2.

Uh... are you trying to request a particular game or guessing what game's coming next? Or both? If you want to submit a guess it has to be through the eMail address I have at the end of every episode after the credits.

Megarace has a few catchy synth tunes and can be obtained on gog.com along with the second Megarace game for $6. If you want a variety, Doom, Doom 2, Ken's Labyrinth, Rise of The Triad and the first Descent game (not the second one) all have HUGE varieties of MIDI tunes, many of which sound OK over …

Just to quickly let you know, in case you aren't already aware of this: 1.2mb 5 1/4" drives cannot write 360kb disks that can be read in 360kb drives. It has to do with the size of the read/write heads and that a 1.2mb drive doesn't write enough of each bit of data physically to the disk for a 360kb …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 46 - Flightmare is online! Only five people sent in guesses this week much to my surprise.

Re: Fast Win9X video capturing?

If the resolution of what you want to record is low enough, VirtualDub works pretty well. Just set it to capture a certain area of the screen and position the window for the game you're playing into that area. You'll also need to select video and audio codecs that can encode in real-time and …
