Re: Reelmagic/Realmagic MPEG games

The game is not "unfinished", I'd say it is rather unpolished. Nobody has questioned its existence - sndwv has only expressed some doubts as to whether it was released commercially. And as you can see, there are proofs that it was! Still, it does look like they have left some source codes and other …

Maybe I am spreading unnecessary confusion here. The Archive.org iso (I think it's not allowed to link to it here?), which installs with INSTRM.EXE, also has 'suspect' build files on the disc. BBMF.BAT for instance attempts to build movie files from non-existing .mpg files, from a non-existing F:\- …

Well, if you've got it, then hopefully one day it will show up. All I know is I've seen mention of it being around for like 3 years, but nothing has actually popped up. It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't know you. I have people over in my discord claim to own things all the time that …

It will pop up one day if a true clean copy is out there. I've got a whole team keeping an eye out for it, and some other titles. The jewelcase on Moby is simply not enough to prove anything. I have seen all sorts of false leads. The Black Dahlia game box straight up says it supports MS-DOS in the …

What do you mean - it's on Mobygames. Just the jewel case so far, but I do have the box somewhere too. It was me who doubted it's existence ;). Because the contents of the iso floating around on Archive.org seemed unfinished / dev build-y, and the only box scan I could find could have been anything …

What I was able to find (on Archive.org) appears to be a development build of Conspiracy MPEG, do you know if this game was ever commercially released (or bundled), or was it cancelled somewhere at the end of its development stage? Thanks! That does look somewhat unfinished, yes - but at least it …

What bothers me is that unlike the other American Laser games, that one didn't even have a base DOS port. So it seems odd they would have gone to the trouble of making a version for DOS... that only used the reel magic card. If there was evidence of the game being ported to *anything* other than …

No new RM-MPEG games has been surfaced for now. But I have some considerations on non-RM MPEG games! It turns out that at least "Mad Dog II" was bundled with one of REALmagic cards (which seems to be Maxima): IBM.jpg But this game was not for ReelMagic/REALmagic MPEG, but for OpenMPEG! That is, it …

Thanks for the vid. The cutscene quality is a huge step up. Let's hope it will be working in the dosbox fork soon. I'm glad it works at least on the real hardware! The cutscene quality in the non-MPEG version is like the worst cutscene quality of any FMV game ever. The pixels are gigantic! Thank …

BTW, Silent Steel also has an MPEG2 version released in DVD-ROM. I was going to say that also - and given the DVD version, the MPEG version is much less interesting to me. No :) I have played the DVD version, and what do you know - the MPEG version is actually better! In DVD, they have somehow …

One person from Mobygames has also promised me to archive this game, but - who knows when. Hmmm....I wonder who that could have been! LOLOLOLOL The preferred method - is to make the images of the disks (if they do not have CD Audio tracks and complex copy protection, then ISO and Daemon Tools, ISO …

I have basically all of those games on the first part of the list...unfortunately I still have not dug Conspiracy out of storage, but I recently picked up the Prince game and I should have that on hand. I am willing to archive it if someone tells me the preferred method to do so. I also have a …

I've since picked up some more of these but have not dumped any of them. I'm still interested in this topic but unfortunately, nobody with skills ever expressed interest in trying to get these games running without the special hardware.

That's awesome.... you would win +100 internets if you were to zip the MPEG files up and host them somewhere ;) Well, it would probably be better if someone could help get them to play within the game, right? Let's see if anyone responds... BTW, I already made an ISO of the Conspiracy MPEG disk. I …

Very interesting. I own the original DOS version of Return to Zork and still have the box, encyclopedia etc. I always wondered why the Wizard's image turned static once you went underground. I believe ScummVM supports Return to Zork but this is the first time I've heard of the realmagic version. …

(Paging Gulikoza) :) As most of you probably know, there was an add-on MPEG decoder board sold back in the day under the name Reelmagic/Realmagic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealMagic The games that supported this board had a separate version released called the "MPEG version" rather than the same …

Other than the missing install log, I've been unable to see any other side effect. How can you tell? Do you know what files are supposed to get copied into the directory? What files do you have there? And how do you know there isn't supposed to be some registry entry created at the end or something …
