I remember a while ago reading about a new Darkwing Duck platform game, with a playable demo which I even downloaded but did not play. Here's the review of the demo. I haven't followed the project since but I believe it was turned down by the publisher or something.

So a while ago I found a demo of an unreleased RPG game called The Seventh Sword of Mendor on a coverdisk, and it works fine in DOSBox, but only if there is no sound. If I set it to use Sound Blaster or Sound Blaster Pro it freezes DOSBox right after the publisher's logo. loadfix did not help. I …

Thank you for reminding me. I like to revisit this one periodically for a cheering up: Mayuki Miyashita plays The Tom and Jerry Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4KCvrckXiA BTW, a while ago I found a few very nice piano transcriptions of music from several video games: Elder Scrolls series …

Yes, I also found the first site years ago and posted a link to it on my Abuse SDL GitHub page. I was also digging through Wayback Machine few weeks ago and found that on abuse2.com you can find working downloads by going on the profile page of the users: https://web.archive.org/web/20020223063524/ …

I updated Abuse SDL port in 2016 to do that: The fun thing is that the original releases of Abuse (prior to v2.0) also had the same feature with resolutions of at least up to 1280x1024 supported. This was eventually only reserved for the level editor, but earlier versions' readme files even contain …

Sorry for bumping this, I've tried these shaders with a clean setup of DOSBox SVN Daum (build from 26 January 2014), and while all of them work I notice selective slowdowns with CRT-easymode-hl. Namely, whenever a fade-in effect is used for drawing the entire screen (e.g. in the demo of Warcraft …

JIC anyone finds this interesting, the same solution (set machine emulation to 386) worked for the non-playable demo of Eye of the Beholder III.

I am unable to run the non-interactive demo versions of two Westwood Studios games: Hand of Fate and Lands of Lore .

There's also the Hungarian "indie" shareware Warcraft clone/inspired game called The Dark Legions (not related to the turn-based dark fantasy game published by SSI), which is quite playable as far as I can tell (judging by the shareware version ). BTW you can get the full version off Steam. The 3D …

There's endless debate on the 'net about what makes a Duke game a 'Duke' game. Like you I don't care about 'adult' things like swearing and (extrememely low-rez, 2D) semi-nudity, and to me Duke was done best in the N64 game Duke Nukem: Zero Hour (not to be confused with the totally different fan- …

Admittedly I only watched the video and haven't played the mod myself, but I got the impression that it generally misses, rather than manages to capture the gameplay flow of the original Duke3D , especially concerning combat. I basically consider Serious Sam to be the true Duke3D sequel. Or maybe …

Oh yes, I've been very active at using the WM as soon as I realised that you could retrieve files (demos, shareware etc.) from there, which was some time ago already.

Some kind of Polish Warcraft 1 clone, but seems to have modern controls, bad thing that is only in Polish. Else i would play it gladly, because it is DOS game. You can grab a couple of shareware versions here (the game was re-released on CD with some changes/improvements and that version got its …
