Re: Scariest pc game you played

My first big scare was being caught by the evil rabbit's gang in Toonstruck , but then I learned how to break from the jail :cool:. Half-Life and sneaky headcrabs in particular gave me some chills at the time. System Shock 2 - for sure, weird psycho-monsters and dark space stations generally work …

^ Have you played through JC2? I liked it a lot, but mostly for the decent arcade chopper sim circa Desert/Jungle/Nuclear Strike reboot. I can't make up my mind about the 3rd installment from some vids I watched. Just too many soulless crap nowadays. I would have already bought it, but I absolutely …

I believe I played a lot of Jedi Academy in 2003, was quite enjoyable. At least from the point of "me minus 15 years from now". Can't recall any details about the campaign, but spent at least a few months in multiplayer on my old hood's LAN. And yeah, I'm a sucker for Star Wars (original) too. Can't …

One would think that on a platform like Vogons people will actually line up to beat some pixels out of each other. Alas, most likely in their leisure time they're tinkering with their precious hardware (I sure do). Certainly want to play some multiplayer games. Keep my machines offline, but I guess …

jotjhe.jpg Finished Jill of the Jungle trilogy! Impressions: Episode 1 - Exciting (cool soundtrack) Episode 2 - A chore (those demons..) Episode 3 - Short (but lots of thorns) Good thing I had a gamepad for this. It's nearly impossible to make precise jumps with a keyboard. Thanks a lot to …

X-COM: UFO Defense 1.2 or 1.4?

Posted on 2018-07-18, 17:36

in DOS
I'm considering moving to version 1.4. I don't like the last sentence, though: This is the first patch for both the US and Europe games. UFO: Enemy Unknown users MUST install 1.2 before this to fix some map and graphic glitches. This patch fixes many stability issues, some game stopping research …

Re: Should I buy a 56k modem?

Well, you could always use it to play some games via Hyperterminal with your mates. It's not hard to pick one at all, as long as you hunting for old hardware - a few will surely come your way (and likely will cost you nothing to a few bucks at most).

Re: Dos 6 conventional memory tricks

Thanks dr_st! I readjusted the files according to your advice and will consider swapping my oakcdrom driver for the acer one later. As for XMODE.EXE - 3.11 Virge DX driver I've got from vogonsdrivers only gives me 60 hertz in Windows (with any resolution/color depth). So I'm using a tool from …

Hey guys, I've been using QEMM on my main DOS/3.11 machine (P133, 16RAM, VIRGE DX and non-PnP SB16) with various success for some time now, but decided to go the classy way. I understand that a single config can't run 'em all, but so far I'm mostly happy with it. Two issues - unable to start NFS SE …
