DOS Games Discussion

Thanks for that!

Alright, it was worth a try! However, I'm still interested in the Swedish demo

Yup, still interested. It sounds like the right demo to me. The early versions of TLJ had compatitbility issues with NT-based systems, and I don't Think the Swedish language version was ever fixed sadly. While there's a Swedish patch available, It's quite possible it won't work on the demo, since it...

Thanks, that would be kind. If you happen across any other Swedish demos, I would be interested of those too.

I wonder if anyone still have the demo version of The Longest Journey in Swedish language? It used to be available from Funcom's FTP server, but was apparently removed when they did a spring cleaning of their FTP earlier this year. I have been unable to locate Another copy anywhere, only finding the...

Yeah, thanks. Do you know if the site is trustworthy? Too bad they don't list the specs for the fan. Would be very useful to know the size of it (in mm). I would guess at 40 mm, though I need to be sure. I've found replacement keyboards for it at misco.se (I've bought stuff from them Before, so I tr...

I wonder what format is the SHARE.SHR Blood Shareware 1.11 install file packed in? I've tried extracting with 7zip and UniExtract, doesn't work. I'm on 64-bit Windows, I can use DOSBox but it doesn't preserve the timestamps on the files as I would like. Any ideas?

Thanks for the tips guys! I actually tried connecting a external keyborad to it. The problem is that the laptop still reads the internal keyboard first, so the CTRL key that's glitching still makes the system mostly unusable, because the comp "Thinks" the key sometimes is pressed down, eve...

I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 made in December 2003. I really like this computer and would like to be able to use it again, the problem being that some of the parts are starting to break. I Think the fan is busted, since when the computer gets warm, the fan starts to sound very noisy, more...

Ah, nice, I'll have to read that later. But yeah, by the time I found the PM functionality there, I could read your PM. Took me a good while Before I found that at all though, wasn't very obvious. Hope you'll get an answer, it would be very interesting for me too.

Interesting! Do you happen to have a link to that interview?
By the way, I sent you a couple of PM's over at Svenska PC Gamer forum, did you recieve them?

I'll just copy my post for RGB Classic Games: After looking over the whole Internet, I managed to find the game I was looking for by my own thanks to this YouTube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQXVvhGsn-Q It was a Swedish strategy game called "Vikingabyn" (in English "The Viki...

Hi Rwolf! Yeah, sorry, I was a bit unclear. I wrote "Century" just so everyone would understand, though infact the Word I learnt was the Swedish "sekel". But I don't really remember what the educational element was. I'm unsure about the age-Group too, since the games we had were ...

I first posted this post at RGB Classic Games, and was suggested to repost this here, so that's what I'll do :) : I remember back when I had recently started school. We got 3 computers with Windows 3.1 and many games, some edutainment games in Swedish. I don't remember much about most of the games u...
