Re: Where are you getting Windows games from?

Steam / GOG offer only a tiny portion of retro games. A lot of good old games are... NOT on Goold Old Games ! :( A least you can still have a good portion of games for free in the form of demos/shareware, even if the full versions are not sold and hard to come by. It's a pity that modern commercial …

Thanks to Hallfiry 's catalogue I found a very early demo of Age of Rifles : WCS3.zip . Unfortunately it's both incomplete and broken. This version is found on the Generation 4 Issue No. 82 coverdisk . The date stamp on the binary executable, RIFLES.EXE (601 375 bytes), is from 19 Jul 1995, whereas …

Sorry if this is off-topic, but it has just occurred to me in relation to this thread, are there/have there been any fan-made server emulators for games that were originally multiplayer only, but the official servers are now down, but said emulators allow to play PvE content locally?

The MS-DOS version runs just fine in a VM but NOT IN DOSBOX . I've tried so many different settings, cycle counts, the non dynamic recompiler core. Nothing prevents the crashes, instability and timing fluctuations. Admittedly I only played the demo versions but I had rather stable performance …

Here's what I believe to be the original ZIP of the BLAM! Machinehead demo that was available from the GamesDomain FTP: blamdemo.zip . The Wayback Machine has preserved a pretty good mirror of said FTP , but the demo of BLAM! is not among the files that were archived. I found the demo using Hallfiry …

Here's a cool thing I was just notified of: a platform game made by Commander Keen fans (but not a mod) called Planet Cloudius IX . It's based on an engine recreation of the second trilogy of Keen games, but that engine was created from the start for fangames , not to be used with original game data …

The CD image format should be irrelevant for the cutscenes because those are just simple AVI files. A very long time ago I had a bootleg CD (actual physical disk) of the game and had to do some weird stuff to make it work (DOSBox v0.63 it was back then), like mounting the directory where I installed …

I just found the German demo of 3D GCS that was distributed by Jurgen Egeling Computer. It's called Industrial Killers like the regular demo but features completely different levels (not involving the shooting of humans as far as I can tell), presumably due to German censorship. I got it off this …

Manga109Attempt, I haven't experimented with others on this example. Well it did an okay result with this particular image but keep in mind it's basically the first model created and it's fairly old by today's standards. You could first try running the art through JPEG artifact removal models, …

Re: Authorised fan remakes of/sequels to games

If you take open source reimplementations into consideration as well, there's quite a list: https://osgameclones.com/ I know well about this site but it does not state whether any given remake was officially authorised or not. Theoretically, fully FOSS licensed projects should be free of copyright …
