Re: Using an FX 5200 for old games

Posted on 2022-02-13, 19:58

Old topic, but I just have some fun with old GPUs, so I can tell you that FX5200 is one of the worst GPUs ever, if you really want it, take at least 128bit version, 64bit is really really bad. The worst thing is that there is FX5200 LE, but they don't put LE on sticker, so you don't know if it's LE …

Avernum: Escape from the Pit I am now 10 hours in. My characters are level 4 and I'm still very much in the beginning of the game. By now I'm pretty comfortable with the interface, and my previous criticism still stands: for a game (re)made in 2011, navigating the interface is surprisingly …

Interesting, I had never heard of Depth Dwellers! I was as rabid a DOS gamer as there was back then. But granted, I was a young adult at the time, not a kid. Maybe my being 25 had given me enough bad game wisdom that I ignored it without any effort. I like the conclusion you drew for the size of the …

IIRC, likes has been rejected because of the way that it changes the nature of a board. Things work well already and introducing likes would have a profound effect and would also piss off a lot of the established technical base here. Just the risk of losing important forum members is a good enough …

I've seen likes implemented on a few forums too, and have only seen the positives in it. There is generally some intitial resistance, because people think it's going to turn into Reddit or Facebook or something. In reality it just gives people a way to show appreciation for a post, without having …

Avernum: Escape from the Pit I spent the past few days doing some research on this game and Eye of the Beholder 2. I loaded both up and messed around with them. I tried EOB2 on my DOS PC as well as modern PC with The All-Seeing Eye. This morning, I spent an hour on Avernum, slowly going through the …

Avernum: Escape from the Pit ... I stuck with a pretty standard starting party: Soldier, Archer, Priest, Sorcerer, and my usual character names: Arnellis (made up), Tanis (from Dragonlance), Nystul (from the Ultima series), and Raistlin (Dragonlance). Haha, very nice. I too used to include AD&D …

I tried playing the original STALKER twice and stopped at around the 2 hours mark both times, the game was not immersive enough to withstand the masochism it required for me, personally.. I actually quite enjoyed the immersion of SoC. I am of Russian descent, and can speak and read rather poorly ( …

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl Finally finished this game. I started on 1/1/22 and finished on 2/1/22. :) Took a total of 34 hours. I have to admit, starting at The Secret Lab, I used WeMod to turn on unlimited health because it just got TOO HARD. And I'm glad I did because as I got through that …

The quality-of-life improvements would be welcome, but the kicker is I really like playing DOS games on my real DOS PCs. For me, it's part of the whole deal. That's exactly how I feel, and my biggest quandry. :) With the Gold Box series, I'm more apt to use the Gold Box Companion, but EOB2 is right …

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl I'm now almost 30 hours in. I've completed the Warehouse and Red Forest areas, but was too beat up to head straight for Pripyat. My SSP-99M armor was just about down to 0% and I had no other armor options, so I headed back to The Bar. On the way, I picked up a Berill-5M …

I'm thinking of throwing my GoldBox copy of Dungeon Hack and Unlimited Adventures on to my DOS lappy and loosing the next few days to it. ..Might even throw the GoldBox companion app on there too and try my hand at making an adventure. Actually I might just throw all the GoldBox games on there ! …

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl I'm now 24.5 hours in. I've reached The Red Forest area, just killed the dude with the Rocket Launcher and the sniper in the tower behind him. There's a long road going east-west with a bunch of antennas and a downed helicopter at the west end. This is where I have to …

Exile: Escape from the Pit I've reached the point where my party has "stabilized" and can survive without too much trouble as I begin exploring the land in earnest. The game isn't class-based (you just spend points wherever you want on attributes and skills), but I'm running a party of two fighters …

With yesterday's Lands of Lore session, I got into my groove. Previous complaints have ceased to matter, and I'm hooked. It's hard to write this post... because I would rather just go and play it. :D Funnily enough it was the simple (Opinwood) forest and (Gorkha) swamp areas which did it. The …
