that reminded me of wandering around lost in rott back in the day, all those same looking areas! still it was fun place to get lost at the time, such great music and general weirdness to the design to keep you interested Yes, the music was awesome. It was reused in quite a few user-made DOOM levels …

Speaking of DOS era 3D shooters, I just finished the original Shadow Warrior . I had a save from years ago before the intermediate boss battle in Level 11, and finally decided to dedicate several hours (over several days) to finish the game (all the way to level 20). It stays true to the realistic …

Re: Where do you get your old games from?

If I want a physical copy (mostly for collecting's sake) - then it's eBay for me, and like was said - eBay UK in particular is a good source for cheap games, if the shipping is cost is reasonable (sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't). Digital copies - I don't care about legality. If I want to buy …

Re: Revisiting PC-DOS 7.1.

Well, the included SYS.COM doesn't work when run from within PC-DOS 7.1 itself, citing "Incorrect DOS version". The incorrect DOS version is a mere version number check. Should be fairly easy to hack (just replace the hardcoded version number it's looking for). The question is whether it would be …

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. All files directly related to PC-DOS 7.1 reside in "sgdeploy\sgtk\DOS". However, its SYS.COM does not work as it appears to be an old version ironically incompatible with PC-DOS 7.1. I wonder if may be an easier approach to figure out what's wrong with SYS.COM and …

Re: Windows XP systems, do you 4:3, 5:4 or 16:10?

DELL offers a wide range of monitors, some for 'regular' customers, some for 'office', some for 'professionals'. Not quite the same professional level that EIZO and some of NEC's offerings are aiming for (or used to), but still higher than average in terms of build quality, ergonomics, durability, …

They made 27"+ of 16:10? I may need to look into what's out there. There are although they are uncommon. The Hanns.G 28" monitor is one such display: https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/hanns-g-hg281dj-28in-lcd-monitor Also 30" WQXGA (2560x1600) displays. Using one of these right now (the DELL …

Yeah, I guess whether you like or dislike the darkness, the mechanics, the story, the jump scares, etc - one thing that everyone will agree on is that Doom 3 is very different from Classic Doom, so fans of one will not necessarily like the other. In that sense the 2016 reboot is closer to classic …
