Re: What game are you playing now?

I spent all day setting my DOS machine up with my new CompactFlash-IDE adapter and CDROM drive, and then copying over most of my favorite games from my DOSBOX and PCEM folders/installs. I did get a chance to sit down and play some games though! Ultima Underworld Currently exploring level 3, which …

@newtmonky - you probably already know, but you could copy over the GOG versions of many DOS games to your DOS PC and they mostly work with little to no effort. That's how I've played almost all of my DOS games since I only kept a few games that I bought back then. Hiya clueless1, that's my plan …

Finally, the day has come. All my crucial parts have arrived and so now I have a fully working dedicated DOS machine! Pentium 133, but can be decelerated to ~386SX40 or ~486DX33 by disabling caches. I tested it out with Wing Commander and it runs perfectly fine. I was actually quite lucky, as every …

My first PC was an IBM 386SX16. I don't know the exact model. It had a VGA card and small hard drive. It didn't come with any sound card, but we eventually got a SB-compatible that used a proprietary slot that was crazy expensive as far I can recall. I got this PC primarily for three reasons: - I …

I'm not 100% sure on my first game, but I do remember one of the first I got was Wing Commander, followed by Wing Commander II. By the time I finished WC2, Ultima VII had been released. Beat all three of those on my Packard Bell 386SX-20. :cool: Wing Commander was among one of the first few games I …

I'm enjoying reading about your thoughts on Gold Box games. They are games I've wanted to try in recent years but never have. By the time I got my first PC, Ultima VII was almost out, so the Gold Box games had been out for several years and not considered new enough or advanced enough in my college …

I've not played with it at all, but this sounds like something that might be addressed in Gold Box Companion I linked in my previous post? I almost always prefer to play DOS games on my retro PC, but the Gold Box series might be one I try in DOSBox just to use the Gold Box Companion. Where I draw …

Pool of Radiance (PC) This weekend, I became hopelessly addicted to this game! I probably spent a good 6+ hours with short breaks Saturday, it's been a long time since I've put so much time into a game in a single sitting. I've got much of the area around Phlan cleared, though I haven't even really …

Taking a short break from Ultima V, which I am truly savoring! Instead, tonight I played: Pool of Radiance (PC) This is one I had for my C64 back when I was a kid. I didn't get far into it myself, but a friend of mine became obsessed with it and he spent several months of weekends at my house …
