hmm interesting. i always had lockup/crash problems with skynet's SVGA mode under DOS/win98 (P3-500, riva TNT). same as you described swaaye, but i gave up on this for a long time... on the other side, skynet runs stable with SVGA on dosbox 0.72 for me (tested it today with default dosbox.conf, …

ah ok i see. i asked for the "-32biteverything" because it helped me to avoid graphic corruptions in the past and iam sure it can be used in HW mode. but this should not be the problem (like you said) in your case. on the other side, the intel GMAs are known to have not the best compatibility. IIRC, …

i didnt cared much about the early 3d de/accelerators but my dream was a S3 VIRGE since i saw a screenshot of the accelerated version of terminal velocity in a gaming magazine. ok i was a child and never had the money for buying one, so i had to use my 486 DX2/80 with a 1mb SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS card …

...I'm interested if anyone thinks Doom 3 is worth it (with the duct tape mod, of course). yes its worth playing. i've beated doom3 two times and loved its great scifi-horror atmosphere till the end. you should play it at night when you are alone and use a good 5.1 headset or speaker system. :happy …

wow the first time a review is posted on vogons and a great one too. :) So basically you are just a passive observer in the story and the only effect you have on the game is 2 things. What you shoot and if you do or do not harvest Little Sisters. Little Sisters are the pre-teen girls in the game …

i was reading a test of bioshock from a german gaming magazine (pc powerplay) yesterday, they gave it a 89% score. the lowest i've seen so far. some critique points was a difficult weapon handling in combination with plasmids and the hacker-minigames are annoying in long term. @dosfreak, what do you …

you're not the only one who've buyed the german version of oblivion... ;) the german voice acting was quite good imo. only the localization team (ingame text, booklet) failed and it was nearly the same with shivering isles. after all, oblivion was only enjoyable with some fanmade translations. btw i …
