Wings of Thunder (floppy disk version) is available here though it is just a rar of the files from the floppy: Apologies, I have updated the description to include the information that the game itself is not rare, just the exact file from Cactus FTP has not been found. Also AFAIK there's no such …

I just discovered that the music in Trugg not only sounds better with GUS (if I select SB16 even w/ 44 kHz mixing it still sounds like 22 kHz) but also has some extra instruments/sound effects not present in the Sound Blaster version.

Cyberbox and Cyberbox II are also freeware: http://palmettobay.com/ Looks like I misunderstood something. Here's the author's current website, which offers the unregistered versions of both games (same as via the Wayback Machine link which I posted above): http://www.dougb.com/ I think that there …

Re: Worst LucasArts/Sierra adventure game

I generally don't like point-and-click adventures very much, for various reasons. I played some old demos of LucasArts stuff (the Passport to Adventure combo demo that was available from their FTP) and I kind of liked The Secret of Monkey Island for the cute art in some places (like those oddly …

Points (1) and (2) seem to become increasingly the trend, and what's worse, they also become increasingly a way to promote some paid product. I've seen quite a few lately, both for software and hardware. They all begin with the obvious and unhelpful steps (but then again, those might be not so …

There is, click your username, then the search icon in top right corner. You'll then have a chronological list of your own posts, so go to the last page to find the first one. Hey, thanks, I did not know that. Turns out my first post was... in the DOSBox Game Launcher thread ? I never use DOSBox …

Now that I think of it, I cannot remember :) I guess I signed up to ask some DOSBox related questions, perhaps to solve issues with running some game. I don't think there's a way to look up a user's posts in chronological order ("Your posts" shows me topics where I posted, with recently active …

Re: Sound Driver Pack

Does it work with the patched ct-voice for SB16 v3.07 ? (then you wont have to set the sbtype) Simply replacing the driver did not work either in v0.74-3 or in a recent SVN build that I have: https://i.imgur.com/iUNIIiu.png I guess you either need to add those other drivers to CONFIG.SYS? If so …
