Re: Windows versions of DOS games list

in Deep Thought
heh, are you kidding? The DOS version was faster and more stable? It doesn't even RUN for me. Unfortunately it's also the only version I've got. I think someone gave me some information in the past about fixing it to work, but I don't really care enough to actually try it. 😉

Re: DVD Games, where art thou?

in Windows
By the time they became 2x, I know Sierra and other companies started releasing DVD versions of their more popular games. Whaa? I assume you mean second-generation DVD-ROM, as saying that there was stuff being released on DVD media when two-speed CD-ROM drives came to pass would be a silly thing to …

Re: windows xp

Sounds like a good idea to me. 😉 Seriously though, you might consider if you haven't installing allllll the crappy upgrades, including DirectX 9.0a and Service Pack 1.

Re: DVD Games, where art thou?

The only problems that remain as far as we know with OpenGLide are those related to specific ATi cards not having some OpenGL extensions (namely, paletting extensions, which …

Re: Carmageddon - problems

Because they're crappy, stupid browsers that are even worse than MSIE (well, Opera 7 is arguably better, but even still, it has bad DOM support). Anyone still using Netscape 4 needs to be drug out into the street and shot, anyway.

Re: Play CD tracks in Alone

Or under x86 processor and OpenGL, *heh* (don't discriminate, Linux users like playing games too, helps reduce productivity) Unfortunately I'm not sure there's much to be done. Try running "SET" and see how much stuff you've got taking up environment space.

Re: DVD Games, where art thou?

in Windows
That's how most of these things work. For some games it's really useful -- like non-linear ones that would otherwise require lots of disk swapping, eg. Psychic Detective, or linear ones that have resources scattered all over the place, eg. Obsidian; for most others it's just a handy way to save …
