DOS Games Discussion

use something like XPLite to remove a lot of the crap, and also something like Blackviper's guide to turning off services to speed up xp.

if it's anything like the campaign we have in england at the moment, that's enough to feed a family for 3 months, or clothe them for a year. i think. that's what the ads say. my family donated money today. i wouldgive blood but i'm afraid of needles, heard some nasty stories about the volunteer nurs...

it can cure HIV, but i still want colds to keep me from school!

I've been thinking about game remakes/frontends that enable old (dos) games to be played under newer os's (in particular Windows XP). anyone know a list of these "updates"? i'm talking about things like ScummVM, Jdoom, FuhQuake, WolfGL, etc. it'd be great if someone could remember any othe...

i don't know any of those bands, but i like the sound of "born on a pirate ship"....

if you're intrested in what i listen to, grab a Radiohead album. Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are good.

if you've left, will it make a difference if i post here....?

nevermind. sorry to see you go, GAMER. goodbye, and good luck.

are you sure you don't mean Eliza? that was the "psychologist" dos program. well, it doesn't sound like it anyway, but the best i can offer you would be ColorQuiz

www.scummvm.org has some demos of indiana jones and the fate of atlantis, and scummvm to play them. that's about as cloase as you'll get without spending money.

counterstrike is a hl1 mod. the hl1 engine was a heavily modded version of the quake 1 engine.

i bought it off steam, it's cheaper and no boxes/manuals to lose.

AbandonLoader perhaps?

which is why i should be the one to do it.

i can help operating if you want, but i've been in there for ages and only wally popped in while i was asleep.

there's something not quite right about that picture....

btw emmzee, like my avatar? :p

in your options/quests thingy (it's a menu).
try gamefaqs.com if you're stuck.

i'm on irc about 23.5 hours a day on average, since it's the summer holiday here. i'd be glad to help out with moderation between, say, 10am and 5pm gmt. i have a knowledge of irc (been using it for a year and a half) and my life is boring enough to warrant something to do like this.

media player classic - based on mplayer.exe, or media player 6.4. opensource and contains all the features i need - dynamic altering of the directshow filter chain, in-built dvd decoder/player, and playlists. also supports advanced containers like ogm and mkv.

another similar band is shpongle, they're a bit english trancey but the same style.

Radiohead - Amnesiac (got hail to the thief queued though)

what flavour of vorbis do you prefer? i like the AoTuV tunings, they sound great at even 96kbps.
