Hello, everyone! Not sure how many of you will recognize me... probably only like, two or three of you. XD
Anywhoo, my name is Kris Asick and I've sorta been hiding in a corner of the net for over a decade now. I've released a few games to the world in shareware and freeware form, with my most notable claim to fame being PixelShips, which was originally a DOS game though I eventually only kept the Windows version up to date.
However, due to having so little time now mostly thanks to a lousy call centre job, and the fact that it takes a massive amount of work to make a game good enough to sell even for just pennies, I've decided to switch gears and am now primarily working on a new webshow entitled:
Ancient DOS Games!
(Yes, you can click that ;)
ADG is a series I'm going to use to bring to light all sorts of old DOS games, from the common and well known titles of the 80s and 90s to the obscure or easily forgotten ones. Unlike a standard review show where the host may give unlimited praise to a good game or get laughs out of a terrible game, I'm going to try to minimize the amount of critiquing I do and instead focus on the features of a game, what works, what doesn't, and also recommend the best DOSBox settings to use.
Episode 0 is an introductory episode to just give some background on the series. The first three episodes each focus on a single game: Stunts / 4D Sports Driving, Mega Man and Tyrian 2000. New episodes will be released every Saturday. Also, since I'm working unscripted to sound more natural, occasionally there might be errors in the episodes or I may forget things, so each episode's page will also have notes and corrections.
I own hundreds of DOS games, obtained over my 20+ years of PC gaming, so I'm not going to be running out of material any time soon, but will always be on the lookout for more titles to review and bring to light, and will show off shots of the disks, boxes and manuals when appropriate... or possible... I only managed to save 11 game boxes for my DOS games... BOOO. :(
Well, I hope my new webshow turns out to be at least mildly entertaining. Throw any comments or suggestions you wanna make my way and I'll see what I can do! ;)
