DOS Games Discussion

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...

Impressive, keep it up! If you are interested, check this folder: https://github.com/gabonator/Projects/tree/master/CicoJit/gamelib for each game you will see a bunch of files: - fetch.sh - to download a game - cico.sh - to convert into C++, uses Capstone disassembler to do the hard work - run.sh - ...

Hello, no one banned you. This must be some phpBB quirk, I'm getting this message from time to time when just trying to access the board. Just wait for a while and try again.

Thanks.

Maybe try this list:

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.

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...

You can also try this category: https://www.mobygames.com/group/712/protagonist-female/sort:date/ And if not there, there's 3rd person view games. Also, you could fill in some gaps in the description. I have the impression that your game was fully 3D, like, for example, Psychonauts ? Was it a commer...

Maybe start by looking in this list?

How do i download it from the linked page? You don't. MobyGames is a video game database, not a download site. I found a download here: I'm sorry, but we don't allow links to abandonware sites here. This game was never released as freeware, and we do not promote software piracy on this forum. Pleas...

I noticed in the images from Mr Flibble also issues with umlaut-characters in the menu bar, maybe the unpacking did not work correctly for those, or it is just a display thing on the PC used to run it? That's because I have Cyrillic fonts as the default setting, so no umlauts unless I change the sy...

I noticed that the version of phpBB used by the forums here (or maybe some plugin, don't know) is incredibly picky about characters. I once spent about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with a post that I had made in a different forum and was trying to re-post here, by copying the text. It...

SimLife?

First off, congratulations on making every single major mistake in formulating your game search request. I remember when I was young there was a game We have absolutely zero idea when you were young, so this tells us nothing. Please try to specify at least the approximate time frame (80s? 90s? 2000s...

Alright, I downloaded the game and used winevdm (which allows to execute 16-bit Win applications on modern Windows) to run the installer, but I got the same error message as you. The installer must be borked somehow, I don't know. Luckily, the game files are simply compressed with LZ compression, wh...

Something like Schiffbruch perhaps?

Very little detail, but this sounds like a game that could be too new for us here (later than 1980s to early 2000s), and possible not even on PC or retro consoles.

kronoman, thank you for the in-depth reply!

Maybe look in this list:

Do you want to contribute a game to the dosgames.com site?

Glad you found it! Blupi games are quite excellent, as far as I can tell.

They are also now freeware, you can get Speedy Blupi and others from the official site:
