Everything seems cool, thanks for sharing!

It's also very nice that the in-game footage is presented with 4:3 aspect correction - something that is not always done in DOS game related videos.

One thing I noticed is that the footage of the first level in the Star Wars: Dark Forces review is from the demo version, but you don't specifically indicate that. It's not like a big deal, but I kind of expected all footage to be from the full version of the game

Another thing worth mentioning is that, to the best of my knowledge, id Software's company name is pronounced as a single word:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Software#Company_name

Anyway, keep 'em coming!

Thanks for the comments, MrFlibble!

I had some trouble running the full game in dosbox, so I tried the demo and worked fine. I kept the footage e used it

As for ID Soft I realised later that it really is pronounced "ID" and not "I" "D".. my bad!

Thanks again!

So, to compensate, here's my latest episode. Not a DOS game, but a PC game running in windows 98:
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine [1999, PC/Windows] - It's a Pixel THING:

Cool!

TBH I haven't played many Indiana Jones games, but this one sounds quite interesting.

And that's a beautiful arcade stick setup you've got there!

I thought I am educated then I see your bookshelf fully stacked.

PixelTHING · Post by **PixelTHING** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 9:33 am

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I really appreciate it!

About the bookshelf, I enjoy reading! That's one of my hobbies!

As for the arcade "thing", I used an "unused" Ikea bookcase. That was the only way to convince my wife!

And it isn't finished yet.. it needs some final touches

Thanks, once again! And, subscribe!

I think that's how they all are. Mine certainly is stuck in a workable-but-lacking-touches phase, too.

Cheezits and Rice!hehe

Well, it is nice to have someone post besides myself too. hehe I like to speak however it gets lonely at times. Maybe one day I can find a wife I can talk to, however, at the present moment I'm too into my studies. After all, isn't it supposed to be that way?

This week a "not so retro" review that was certainly inspired by an Amiga classic from 1989: Trials Fusion [2014, PC] Review - It's a Pixel THING

This week I bring you another great title for the ZX Spectrum, from 1986! Was even considered one of the best games on that platform:
