Global conquest strategy game, 80s/90s, came on floppies

Sounds like it was something along the lines of Empire.

The Elder Scrolls: Arena w/ Gravis Ultrasound in DOSBox [HOWTO]

Interesting; I have the GoG version, I'll see if I can try it out in the weekend. IIRC the GOG version (which is CD version 1.07, but largely similar to the floppy 1.06, except perhaps is has less memory issues?) is configured to run at 30,000 cycles without any further adjustments to the DOSBox co...

The Elder Scrolls: Arena w/ Gravis Ultrasound in DOSBox [HOWTO]

A while ago I realised that using Gravis Ultrasound emulation in DOSBox can produce superior sound quality , and since The Elder Scrolls: Arena supports GUS for sound and music, I set off to try it out. The game is known to be very demanding of base memory, and a user in another forum reported that ...

German first-person adventure game Desperabis gets an English translation 25+ years after release

Some of you may have heard of and/or played a German freeware first-person adventure game called Desperabis . The game, which came out in 1999-2000 for DOS, is remarkable for its custom-built true 3D engine that author Florian Born wrote from scratch. Desperabis looks really good for a freeware game...

And that is indeed the case!

Rwolf, thanks for providing extra info on these! Perhaps you could post some screenshots of the mission objectives?

I also suppose you could probably document this release for MobyGames ;)

Games created with Domark/Simis Flight Sim Toolkit (FST)

Yesterday I looked through the search results for FLY.EXE at DiscMaster , and found three FST-powered simulations on a CD called Warplanes: Modern Fighting Aircraft . These appear to be part of a single multimedia programme on the CD, and thus contain no instructions, mission objectives or author in...

yoyo2000, you have made four different posts asking about what appears to be the same game. Such behaviour is not allowed here. Do you think this will somehow help identify your game? Please confine your search to a single post.

Some posts lose their edit-buttom but others not

In short. This is a spam-bot countermeasure. There are malicious users that sign up, make random, seemingly innocuous posts, and after a while come back and edit their posts to insert SEO links or spam messages. Often we cannot know if a user is legit or a potential spammer. Hence, posts are being l...
