DOS Games Discussion

I don't think this is any issue with the current crop of Flat Panels, regardless if they are LCD or Plasma.

This seems to only be an issue with CRT's.

Yeah Dune was an aweful read for me, just too dry, pun intended

It was easier to complete the second time around, yes I'm a masochist

Yeah that is a classic title for sure, however, I really liked the C64 version the best

Sorry for going OT but some of the early DOS titles just didn't have what it took for gaming until VGA was introduced

Well I now see that some registry/domain squatter now has this domain name and it looks like they want HOTU to pay for it again

Bah, PC Speakers, the bane of early games and motherboard POST messages ;) Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I seem to recall one or more of the old Sound Blaster models had a PC Speaker input on them. It was just the pair of pins that you would connect to the motherboard front panel jack where t...

Just watch any of the Evil Dead movies and there you go

This is not only a very subjective observation but also true and false, let me explain. It comes down to the individual and their respective perception of what art is and not neccessarily the narrowest of viewpoints as to what art is supposed to be ;) So what passes as art to one will not for anothe...

Yes the Evil Monkey parts are funny, however, there is the one episode where Peter is running a huge tab over at the pharmacy and picks up 8 crates of ipecack and to see whom gets the last piece of pie in the fridge, he, Stewie, Chris and Brian all drink a bottle and see who pukes last. This scene h...

A few sites I like to visit myself:

Albino Black Sheep

All Dumb

College Downtime

Darwin Awards

Entensity.net

GKKO

Camp Chaos

Stonetrek

Bob & Tom

Phonelosers

Some of these places of course have some crude humor so are not work safe

Wasn't this a classic Rainbird/Firebird release, a graphic text adventure IIRC

Here's a GOOGLE search that turned up Knight Orc by Rainbird. I hope this helps

I wish everybody a Happy New Year as well

Now, let's hope beyond hope that some of the bigger software publishers will release many/all of their older DOS titles to the net as Public Domain

The other possibility could be the Great Naval Battles series by SSI back in the day. I remember purchasing these because I'm a history buff besides being a gamer

Gee, I guess I'm not feeling so bad, I'm on Comcast Cable and I have a 6Mb d/l with 384Kb u/l speed and no bandwidth limiting and I get a discount due to the fact I have both Digital Cable and Internet in a package deal

Huh, download limit ?!?

So what kind of ISP do you have there

and of course the WoW version of this one too

Thanks and have a great holiday season everyone
