None. Everything what is remastered or modernized lost the magic of the originality

Re: Hardest adventure game you've ever played (DOS/Early WIndows)
Posted on 2020-10-23, 06:19
Windows 98 game - Heart of Darkness. I want to destroy my gamepad. But it was lot of fun. DOS game - hard to say, I got mostly stuck with the stupid logic of the adventure games. Kyrandia 1 - I need to draw maps in the cave section or stupid rock matching. Kyrandia 2, fireflies on the tree. Simon …
Re: Apple is getting off Intel CPU’s ?
Posted on 2020-07-08, 07:18
I dont understand why so many of you are so against the apple idea to make their own CPUs. Intel is lacking any amazing way to surprise us. AMD is catching up, but the software support (drivers etc.) from the AMD is always somehow shaky. I have Threadripper CPU and windows is somehow problematic - …

Re: Lost interest in new games since a couple of years...
Posted on 2016-03-29, 05:09
Yep I agree, the new games lost the playability (PC) But I have to say that some of the PS4 games are still pretty amazing - Uncharted series, Last of US, Heavy Rain, Beyond two souls etc. On the PC I'm still playing Banished, Terraria, sometimes Minecraft or right now Samorost 3 which is really …

Yeah, that is my issue. i have iPad2 with iRig and it is totally useless. That is why I ask here first if the app is really 99%+ same as the original HW. I will get iPhone6 Plus.
Re: Mac OS X - minimum useable system ?
Posted on 2015-02-10, 22:28
I never had any OS to run smoothly - you must always install drivers, tweak settings etc. And someone who is posting in a OLD DOS forum, must go through pretty decent config to get his old rig working properly. So I don't see any difference Install DOS with proper config/autoexec, memory …

wow, I think that iOS sounds identical to the original - Monkey Island is not SC optimized it is MT-32. If you have chance to record Gabriel Knight Intro menu track I will be interested to hear it, But looks like this will actually push me to upgrade iPad.. Thanks for those examples!
