Re: Did you create maps for games?

in Milliways
I thought when reading about the subject of this topic, map making was about making maps as in SSI's Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Gold Box games or creating rooms and directions for text adventures and even graphical adventures like the bamboo forest in Leisure Suit Larry 3 or the berry caves in …

Anyone staying nearby old Sierra On-Line Oakhurst HQ?

in Milliways
As a kid growing up playing Sierra games in the late 80's and early 90's, Sierra and whatever related to it are forever etched in my nostalgic heart. From online discussions, I think I got the view from Google street view as the following : Google Map (But not sure). Address supposed to be 48677 …

Re: 2024 - End of the era of Retro Computing Youtube channels?

in Milliways
Something about this kind of criticism of YouTubers or creators just leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. If you don’t like content then don’t watch it. The YouTuber doesn’t owe you anything, it feels really entitled and self centered to act all high and mighty like some offense has been …

Re: 2024 - End of the era of Retro Computing Youtube channels?

in Milliways
I don't see anything going downhill with LGR. The only "retro" channel I subscribed to. But you can only cover so much of something that have stopped production. But soon, Windows XP and 7 will be regarded as "retro" by the millennials, and there will be millennials doing the "retro" videos soon. …

Re: A slim, fast, but does everything DOS Floppy Boot Disk?

in DOS
The best way to have your own slim DOS Boot Disk, is to format a floppy disk with the current DOS version. I'm not a fan of DOS that comes with Windows 95 and above, and my absolute favourite is MS-DOS 6.22. However, the following applies for all DOS versions. Including FreeDOS. FORMAT A: (or B:) /s …

Re: Battle Arena Toshinden running too fast on retro rig

in DOS
1GHz and a GeForce 4 will definitely be too fast for B.A.T. Try disabling internal cache either in BIOS or using a DOS utility and play in DOS. I used to play it just fine in my Pentium 133MHz with a S3 Virge card. Runs perfectly.

Re: Dark Forces Remastered

in Milliways
Never a fan of any "remaster" or "HD remake". It might look better but it could never replace the feeling of first excitement of playing any original game. Just my opinion. Have been enjoying The Force Engine myself lately, mostly with my four years old daughter on my lap, I say I enjoy the remake …

Re: Wing Commander 1 & 2 CM32L problem

in MT-32 General
I am 3 years late to see this thread, but I can confirm I never faced this problem, as the OP mentioned. I've used LAPC-I, CM-32L and CM-500 and all the sound effects were correct when I used years ago. Even when using MUNT with CM-32L roms, I still don't see any problems.

Re: Vogonians , how do you deal with fatigue?

in Milliways
As already mentioned, fatigue could be related to depression and stress, either at work or due to relationships. Mind burnouts are the usual cause of fatigue. You also get fatigue after exercise but recover fast after some rest and rehydration. The mind fatigue on the other hand takes days or even …

Re: Quake 2 Remastered has been released!

in Milliways
But, I find nothing impressive. Saw lighting and shadow enhancements, but not much that make the mind go 'wow'. Have you tried the RTX Quake 2? That one is efinitely a bit more visually interesting Yes, I should try that. Previously I had a Radeon GPU and didn't try it when the update was released. …

Re: Quake 2 Remastered has been released!

in Milliways
I have played it since I own Quake II in Steam and the update is free. But, I find nothing impressive. Saw lighting and shadow enhancements, but not much that make the mind go 'wow'. Unless they completely overhaul the whole engine, textures and models there won't be much change from playing the …
