Phantom's Toolbox - DOSBox

This video focuses on how to mount and run a game file in DOSBox. Please note that this is certainly NOT all that you can use DOSBox for, there's literally tons more it can be used for; I just happen to use it only to LP play DOS games. Get DOSBox here: www.dosbox.com Download Abandonware DOS games here: www.abandonia.com Yes, the Return of the Phantom LP is coming soon - probably after the Myst III: Exile LP, since I'll be focusing on some smaller games after that so I can take it easy for the most part before college starts up. And get this - the RotP LP is going to be a blind LP; I literally have not done anything more with the game than mount the file with DOSBox, set up the game, and previewed maybe three screens of the game in order to get a better idea of what I'm getting into. Expect it in the fall, but not after October - I'm saving October for a special Halloween LP... The background music is some random techno music I found; I actually don't know the name of it. I use it in one of my later Riven LP videos.

Death Rally (PC DOS) Gameplay

Gameplay of Death Rally a top-down perspective racing video game developed by Remedy, published by Apogee and distributed by GT Interactive. It was released on September 6, 1996. The game was later updated for modern operating systems (Windows XP Service Pack 3 and later OS) and re-released as freeware by Remedy Entertainment in 2009 and can be downloaded at Remedy's homepage: www.remedygames.com The original DOS version is NOT considered by Remedy itself as "Abandonware" so the free distribution of the original version is illegal. The objective of the game is to reach the top of the rank and defeat the Adversary, the undisputed king of the Death Rally in a race. But first, you'll have to earn money and rank points... And you're going to need them badly, since you start the game at the bottom of the ranks, with $495 in your pocket (Which is the first slap on your face in this game, since the so badly needed first tire upgrade costs 500 bucks...) and with the worst car in the entire game. Other ways of getting extra cash are to accept missions (colleting steroids AND win the race, eliminating a specific opponent), winning three races in a row, eliminating all the opponents or collecting money pickups on the tracks (and finish the race at least in 3rd place). Another PC classic, with solid gameplay and still enjoyable to play (At least I still have fun with this game in terms of both gameplay and nostalgia).
