Just looked at some footage of I, Robot and holy shit is that impressive for 1983! It looks like something you'd see on 486+VGA or A1200. I had no idea anything like that even existed back then. What kind of hardware was it running? Dunno. Pretty sure it's proprietary, aside from some of Atari's …

I thought Bosconian wasn't that obscure (cool game either way). Agreed about I, Robot; that was one pioneering title, one of the first (if not the first) to use flat-shaded polygons for 3D as opposed to wireframe - and actually damn good as a game, too. There's also Tube Panic, which is the …

So, I watched PhilsComputerLab's video on networking in DOS. Followed the directions, but am still having issues. First, I load the packet driver for the PCI card, and then change my host name, etc. for mTCP. When I run DHCP it just keeps timing out, and I'm stumped. In Windows 95, I also get an …

Is the drive letter of your CD drive in your XP VM the same as the drive letter of your CD drive on your host PC? I changed the drive letter on the VM to the same as on my host.

Alright, I disabled L1 cache and now the game mostly works. The only annoying thing it has now is that there's still some odd graphical glitches and there's a little bit of slowdown with the music whenever you take an item out of your backpack (that may be normal for disabling L1 cache, though).

Alright, so basically I copied the contents of the CD to my hard drive and patched them with Gosierra so I wouldn't get the mode/hds error I got before and also modified the batch file the game installed on my HD for it to work without a CD. The game runs, but acts very strangely. It seems that some …
