Open source gaming console Pandora shows up on video
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.

Yes or no: Is Microsoft going to keep making Zunes?
Comments by Microsoft execs last week during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) made murky Microsoft's future plans for the Zune. And follow-up over the weekend on the Zune Insider blog didn't clarify matters any.

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.
