DOS Games Discussion

youre joking right?

oh, you mean one post after another, I thought you meant 2 of the same posts (like WFH is famous for). Anyway, that's not such a big deal. Calm yourself, young one.

so we can do that then?

I didn't do that on purpose.... I just forgot to post the OS

Just don't overdo it.

krazer0, you have absolutely no need for that. Why would anybody care about their post # anyway? To get a title? I'm pretty sure the 1000 and 5000 posters will be something like "Super Nerd" and "Get a Life"

They're not......though at game hippo, we get big orange stars after a thousand, but we sort of call them "my big orange star of demotion" to give it a negative sense....I've got two of them, 200 more and I'll have 3

Are you a mod at game hippo?

In all the specs you guys have, anyone out there have a MACH 1 (yes one) Joystick? it had a tan base with two black buttons....ohh the black buttons....OH and a short joystick that you could use to track things 10x better than a mouse. That is by far my favorite DOS joystick..... Sadly the only place I can seem to find it to purchase is in Japan or Germany. Yea, like I’m going to send my money out that far…..wait…what money

Never heard of that joystick, do you have a picture of it by chance?

The 2 joysticks I use the most for dos machines are Logitech Wingman for flight sims and Gravis PC gamepad for shooter types.

UT2k3 at 193 fps? Didnt think it ran at 320x200 resolution

Ok mr smart man. It was at 640X480 resolution.

If your happy with it, thats all that counts. I prefer 1024x768 for FPS type games, 1280x1024 for RTS. Older games only did 800x600 or 640x480 and they were playable at the time.

1.1GHz Celeron
128MB RAM
56k Modem
Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem
Intel Integrated Sound & Video (really bad compatibility, upgrading video soon)
Win-XP OEM
20GB hard drive, 7.7GB HP Recovery Partition
Some cheap joystick that doesn't work in Windows or DOS Programs
HP CD-RW

I built my computer in January 2002, so it's getting a bit slow, but here are the specs:

Windows 2000 w/SP3
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
512MB PC133 SDRAM
80gig 7200 RPM and a 20gig unknown RPM
TDK 24x burner
a 5 1/4 inch disk drive that still works!
a 3.5 inch disk drive
Hercules Kyro2 video card with 64MB RAM
Sound Blaster 5.1
