Preistorik 2 demo
Posted on 2019-03-20, 18:09
I found what appears to be a playable demo of Prehistorik 2 (at least, that's what the readme says) at cd.textfiles.com: pre2.zip However I can't make it run in DOSBox (0.74, Linux 64-bit). When I run PRE.COM it just shows the DOS command prompt cursor and nothing happens at all. I tried loadfix -25 …

I think Dune: Battle for Arakkis on the Genesis/MD does allow the multi-unit selection Nope, you can only order units to follow one another around, so if you have multiple units following one leader you can "kind of" move the entire group in one click. This is actually in the PC version too, except …

I'm not sure wether Jetfighter Full Burn and F-16 Fighting Falcon are DOS games JetFighter Full Burn is for DOS just like JetFighter III (IIRC it started as a mission pack for JF3 ). Sandwarriors is also for DOS and supports 640x480 mode, and although it's a sci-fi thing it's pretty much an air …

ripsaw8080, thanks a lot! To my utter shame after so many years of using DOSBox this is the first time I learn about LOADFIX and its uses.

City Beneath the Surface

I just discovered a formerly shareware turned freeware Finnish DOS RPG of the first-person party based dungeon crawling variety (also known as "blobber" as far as I know), with the original shareware available here and freeware version here . The game launches in DOSBox (I'm using v0.74, but not the …

There are two playable demo versions to get acquainted with the game. I played one a while ago a bit, the game is neat but I wasn't too impressed.

Good free antivirus solutions?
Posted on 2019-01-01, 15:30
I've been using Avast Antivirus Free for I think about a decade or so, but recently it has started to show symptoms of feature creep, and now on top of that wants bank account details to renew the free license. I started looking at possible alternatives, Bitdefender seems like something people …

A while ago I came to the conclusion that using a fixed cycles value may not be the best option. As suggested by the DOSBox wiki, I started using the limit cycles option instead: cycles=auto 70% limit 26800 DOSBox developers please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but from my experience this …
Re: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert Remasters are being made.

There are a few ways to get the Windows version to run in correct aspect ratio or close to it too. The higher resolution monitor you have the better the results will be. I'm not aware of this, please tell more. Generally, is there a way to force 4:3 aspect ratio on a widescreen display if for …

Similarly for C&C. Unlike Warcraft II the first two C&C games use low-res VGA graphics that do not translate well onto modern screens due to the aspect ratio issue. The official Windows versions simply ignore this problem, as does OpenRA as far as I can tell, so the graphics are only rendered …

Much of which is possibly inevitable when you're driven by profit, and they are only games, but there was a time I took Blizzard stuff seriously, and it pissed me off when I realised they didn't. Yes, I can totally relate to that. I still believe that the best piece of Warcraft fiction outside the …

Re: Warcraft 2 not that fun anymore?
Posted on 2018-08-08, 09:29
Still, I would love to see Warcraft I with Warcraft II's higher resolution and updated interface (rightclick action, better group select options). This would at least make the single-player campaign as fun and playable as that of the second game. What do you think about the Mac version graphics? …
