The Elder Scrolls: Arena w/ Gravis Ultrasound in DOSBox [HOWTO]

A while ago I realised that using Gravis Ultrasound emulation in DOSBox can produce superior sound quality , and since The Elder Scrolls: Arena supports GUS for sound and music, I set off to try it out. The game is known to be very demanding of base memory, and a user in another forum reported that ...

German first-person adventure game Desperabis gets an English translation 25+ years after release

Some of you may have heard of and/or played a German freeware first-person adventure game called Desperabis . The game, which came out in 1999-2000 for DOS, is remarkable for its custom-built true 3D engine that author Florian Born wrote from scratch. Desperabis looks really good for a freeware game...

And that is indeed the case!

10clauck, please confirm if this is the game you're looking for.

Certainly not, please go ahead, since you've already tried it out.

Rwolf, thanks for providing extra info on these! Perhaps you could post some screenshots of the mission objectives?

I also suppose you could probably document this release for MobyGames ;)

Games created with Domark/Simis Flight Sim Toolkit (FST)

Yesterday I looked through the search results for FLY.EXE at DiscMaster , and found three FST-powered simulations on a CD called Warplanes: Modern Fighting Aircraft . These appear to be part of a single multimedia programme on the CD, and thus contain no instructions, mission objectives or author in...

Impressive, keep it up! If you are interested, check this folder: https://github.com/gabonator/Projects/tree/master/CicoJit/gamelib for each game you will see a bunch of files: - fetch.sh - to download a game - cico.sh - to convert into C++, uses Capstone disassembler to do the hard work - run.sh - ...

Banned?

Hello, no one banned you. This must be some phpBB quirk, I'm getting this message from time to time when just trying to access the board. Just wait for a while and try again.

Thanks.

Retro Prison Game with Balloons

yoyo2000, you have made four different posts asking about what appears to be the same game. Such behaviour is not allowed here. Do you think this will somehow help identify your game? Please confine your search to a single post.

Some posts lose their edit-buttom but others not

In short. This is a spam-bot countermeasure. There are malicious users that sign up, make random, seemingly innocuous posts, and after a while come back and edit their posts to insert SEO links or spam messages. Often we cannot know if a user is legit or a potential spammer. Hence, posts are being l...

You can also try this category: https://www.mobygames.com/group/712/protagonist-female/sort:date/ And if not there, there's 3rd person view games. Also, you could fill in some gaps in the description. I have the impression that your game was fully 3D, like, for example, Psychonauts ? Was it a commer...

How do i download it from the linked page? You don't. MobyGames is a video game database, not a download site. I found a download here: I'm sorry, but we don't allow links to abandonware sites here. This game was never released as freeware, and we do not promote software piracy on this forum. Pleas...

How do install this labyrinth game?

I noticed in the images from Mr Flibble also issues with umlaut-characters in the menu bar, maybe the unpacking did not work correctly for those, or it is just a display thing on the PC used to run it? That's because I have Cyrillic fonts as the default setting, so no umlauts unless I change the sy...

invalid characters found

I noticed that the version of phpBB used by the forums here (or maybe some plugin, don't know) is incredibly picky about characters. I once spent about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with a post that I had made in a different forum and was trying to re-post here, by copying the text. It...
