Rwolf at MobyGames tipped me off to a couple more sims by a certain Fergal Monaghan: Gyroplane 2000 Cruz Of course the download links provided for both don't work. I can't find these two listed in Adrian Brown's catalogue either. I left comments in the blog and they came through, and Fergal updated …

Apparently TMB Productions released the source code to their QuickBasic games, but the files have not been preserved by the Wayback Machine, so the code is possibly lost. Here is one of them I think. https://github.com/asgerfv/the_little_pixy2 I somehow overlooked your post, thanks for the …

Jazz Jackrabbit I'm pretty certain Jazz Jackrabbit does not even require the patches to be installed to use GUS in DOSBox (just set gus=true). I've also found the sound quality in this and some other games far better compared to DOSBox' SB emulation. Also there's at least one ( Bref ) that outright …

I downloaded GUS drivers from here and installed them using this guide. I don't think I used any futher fixes or additional files. They work fine with DOSBox SVN builds and DOSBox ECE.

Oh, sorry. You needn't be, as I explained above, I'm not limiting myself to DOS stuff only. Your information about these two games is quite useful! So if you know about more free games (especially something obscure), keep 'em coming! Warscape Alpha (hovertank game) for Windows 32/64 and Apple OSX. …

Well, I'm certainly not limiting myself exclusively to DOS games of course (in fact, I've thrown quite a bit of Windows titles into the list in the first post). It's not simply nostalgia, but thanks to DOSBox they're much easier to run than a lot of early Windows stuff in current Windows iterations, …

Found this yesterday at IndieDB, haven't tried out yet: Galaxies and Empires This is a space sci-fi RTS, the files section contains what is called the full version from 2014 with skirmish mode only. It appears that development continues, as a newer demo is available from the itch.io page.

Genre & year of release doesn't matter. I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Amiga games, save for what I know from PC ports, and a few liberated releases like Putty Squad and Perihelion . It'd be nice if someone could point me towards a free downloads site like RGB Classic Games or dosgames.com . …
