Hint: the game's title is in the format " [actual title that everyone calls it] [ far future space-year of the future ] "

Pabloz i like the board because it supports 1.5gb of ram. the only sad thing is that its agp 2x and not 4x Looks nice, but floppy placement is horrible. Yeah, but on these old motherboards, it seems to be rather norm then exception. On my board, I have 20 pin for ATX power supply on similar place. …

Haha sweet. Since I can't un-hear this, you guys have to too: experience the incredible sound design of SENTO. Carrying on the space theme: Filename gamey005.png File size 9.54 KiB Views 1154 views Note that I cropped it to remove the title. (I don't expect this one to last very long anyway. 😜)

Ah, think I got it, it's SENTO? Same developers as Creep Clash (& the interface looks exactly the same!) Didn't know about that one.

I'm only guessing this 'cause I saw it on Mobygames and thought the name was hilarious - Creep Clash?

From the factory extra rails are clipped in behind the drive bay covers - you've tried taking those out & looking at the backs, right?

^^ No it wasn't, Leilei has an encyclopedia of obscure-ass DOS games in his head.

No guesses even? I really didn't think this one was that obscure, it had a shareware release and even made it onto some coverdiscs which isn't bad for a demoscene game! It was released in 1994 & is on Pouet, Mobygames, and Demozoo so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Also, on further playing, I take …

Here's another screenshot of a more typical map, featuring several elements of the game's namesake. And yeah, all the backdrops are ripped from animes. Filename gamey002.png File size 20.01 KiB Views 792 views
Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?
Posted on 2017-12-02, 02:25
^^ neat, that was my first experience with Linux, I got a full retail box somewhere. It wasn't bad at all for the time period I used it (1999~2002ish.) Trivia: SCO eventually bought it out from Caldera, and then instigated the SCO Unix vs Linux fake infringement lawsuit debacle. To this day …

viewmaster.jpg Lucked out at a thrift shop. Not exactly "PC" hardware, but early VR stuff. ;) The brown one is REALLY old, probably late '50s. They made these for a long time! Some of the reels date to that era so it's pretty interesting to flip through them. Among them are a hand-drawn / cel- …
Re: How does Lemmings (for DOS) do in-frame palette switching?
Posted on 2017-12-01, 21:30
Interesting! I know of a few titles that do that - 1991 Donut by Scali (a member here) switches palettes twice in EGA mode - there are three palettes on-screen at once, and he used some really tight timing to pull it off. Hopefully he'll see this thread & chime in with some more details. http:// …

I'll drop a hint to keep things moving. This was made by a demoscene group on the Falcon 030 and also released for DOS.

^^ What's special about the MPC700? Analog Devices chipsets were used on a ton of cards, and there were other sound cards with SCSI too. Is it just desirable because it's rare or does it offer something unique?

Mechanical wear is an issue on i/o ports that get plugged & unplugged all the time. Might want to check the continuity of all the pins & solder pads with an ohmmeter before you start tearing your hair out over the software.
