Dundley and the Sliding Plates 35-END

in the pointed direction only, and you can't stop the plate until it reaches an obstacle. Needless to say it gets quite frustrating when you make a bad slide, so this would explain why I take a few moments in some areas during the gameplay :). It's not the hardest game in the world, but I had loads of fun with it when I was a kid, so I thought I should share. I can provide the ROM file for anyone interested, I'm almost certain this is abandonware by now. ... HC Spectrum retro gameplay ...

Astros Productions - Pandemonium - The Mystery Game

When I gained access to the Internet in the late 90s, I eventually tried to find the full version of this game, but quickly discovered that unlike most games that could be readily found on various abandonware sites, this game remained elusive. Even digging around for information about it in abandonware channels in IRC and forums yielded no results - quite simply, it seemed that noone except me had ever even heard of the game. Even finding any information on the developer, Astros Productions ...

HeroQuest (Dos) - Gameplay and Recording Test

dungeon's "boss monster" (stronger than average creature) is killed with a single spell, and finding the hidden door was pure guess work on my part. I can't remember a damn thing about the game. The game can be found for free on various Abandonware sites, and runs at the correct speed in DosBox. The game is more fun than it looks, although I prefer Space Crusade overall as a video game adaptation.. There is apparently a Online remake of the game in the works, a Either way - the board game ...

Big Content: ludicrous to expect DRMed music to work forever

When Wal-Mart announced in 2008 that it was pulling down the DRM servers behind its (nearly unused) online music store, the Internet suffered a collective aneurysm of outrage, eventually forcing the retail giant to run the servers for another year. Buying DRMed content, then having that content neutered a few months later, seemed to most consumers not to be fair. But that's not quite how Big ...

Indianapolis 500: The Simulation - 10 laps race (starting last - ending 1st)

Indianapolis 500 est une simulation automobile sur PC de 1989. Voici une version émulés sur Dos Box

Ce film montre une victoire sur la course de 10 tours mais en partant dernier (sans faire les qualifications).

J'opte pour la voiture "Lola Buick". En la réglant comme démontrée (retrait des appuis, retrait essence, turbo à 9, pneu extérieur plus large), elle deviens la plus rapide du jeu. Par contre elle ne peut pas être utilisée à plein régime pour la course de 200 tour car le moteur ne tiens pas, il faut alors prendre la Penske.

How to install Windows 3.1 on a Virtual PC

How to install Windows 3.1 on a virtual machine using VirtualBox.

vetusware.com has a lot of these files, but they're only really useful if you have a floppy drive. I would recommend just torrenting an .iso file. For someone like me, who actually owns the disks, but has no floppy drive, this is the easiest way. Windows 3.1 is technically abandonware, so I'm pretty sure it's legal to download... DOS is under the GNU GPL (kind of ironic, right?) so that's not a problem...

For anyone interested in the screen capture program I used it's called iShowU HD, it's very simple to use.

X-COM: Terror From The Deep - CD Intro - DOS 1995

The year is 2040, and extraterrestrials has been spotted on the earth again. This time the threat comes from depths of the ocean, hence the title. The game isn't particularly different from it's predecessor, and if you've played that title, you'll immediately feel familiar here. The interface also bear similarities from UFO: Enemy Unknown, and the weapons and enemies the same. But again, there are new enemies here of course, and some of them are very, very hard.

ORIGIN Systems - Ultima VI: TFP (Initial Combat)

The first real glimpse of The False Prophet lies in this video. The interface for UVI was also used in the Ultima spin off titles Savage Empire and Martian Dreams.

Combat is turn-based, and you can choose between various AI settings for your teammates during combat, obviously the best choice is "Command", which allows you to manually move your party around. This is the only way to play UVI without your party members dying from utter stupidity, the AI really isn't all that smart by itself.

Notice how shitty Iolo's aim is, one bolt is off by an entire ninety degrees.

After I kill the gargoyles (who followed me through the moongate if you recall the text from the second part of the intro) I loot their corpses and equip some items, the interface makes the inventory easily accessible so there isn't a bunch of windows cluttering up the view, this wasn't necessarily a problem in earlier Ultima games, but Ultima VII did pose some annoyances when trying to rearrange your whole party's inventory, which could be extremely annoying at times.

I don't know why I kept in the copy protection with British, you have to look through the manual for the answers to his questions, I probably could have answered one or two of them without looking, but I wanted to make sure. He also outlines the next step of your quest (talk to Geoffery and ask about helping with the shrines) and gives some details on the current state of affairs in Britannia.

Naturally, the retard wants the Avatar to fix everything again while he sits in his castle and stares into space.
