Re: Best bugs in video games ever.

I went a long time without patching my copy of Doom up to v1.9, primarily because I liked being able to have over 200% health. I even challenged myself once to get over 300% health legitimately on the lowest skill setting. (I did succeed but there was lots of reloading involved.) Hmm, which version …

What's really crippling the site is the massive loss of functionality. Things are harder to access, the fixed page width is a joke so you have to scroll like crazy to see the information that was available at a glance on the old website, there's now a completely needless javascript requirement and …

You don't actually create gholas. IIRC, at some point you'll just receive reinforcements of a limited number of other Houses' units (depending on whom you're going to impersonate) which you then need to use to destroy your targets. That's it. There is no way to build gholas as regular units in …

Re: People who call their entire computer a "CPU"...

However I recently saw in an old music magazine from the 80's a picture of Chick Corea's synth setup at the time, and the computer tower was labeled the "CPU". I also caught someone use the term in this way in an episode of The Computer Chronicles. (Trying to find the episode where I heard this.) …

Re: Looking for Pie 3D GCS games

Sorry for bumping this, but I thought I'd mention two more GSC games that seem pretty obscure. Some time ago I was randomly browsing cd.textfiles.com and on a PSL Monthly Collection CD I found a game called SARGENT BLOOD ALIEN CHALLENGE (that's how the developers spell the title anyway). I didn't …

E.g. Classic Fond. Oh Russia, never change. :P Yeah, but it's the administration of archive.org that didn't bother to remove the "Classic Fond" images. I wrote to Jason Scott asking him to remove them, and also had this request transmitted via another person who's in contact with the archive.org …

Re: Daggerfall CVS Build by Ykhwong

Out of curiosity, I did some testing with the old builds and settings as suggested in DaGrooved1's guide, but it seems that the vanilla DOSBox build v0.74 has better performance anyway. enclose your dosbox.conf I usually go by something like this (only modified parameters): [sdl] fullscreen=true …

Sorry for bumping this but I since I've been using some of Daum Cafe DOSBox CVN builds, and never heard of one specifically designed to run Daggerfall , this thread had caught my attention. From what information I could find, the build in question is actually one of Gulikoza's builds, available here …

The visuals look nice but I'm not overly excited. TBH, I like the first PoP more than the sequel, and I wish the did something like the much enhanced SNES port that kept the feel of the original game while adding tons of new content. On a vaguely related note, I wonder why no one has yet made a free …

Re: Options you change in games

In FPS games like Duke Nukem 3D , Descent or Radix , I might change the controls to the WASD scheme if I feel like it (more probably for Descent , "on foot" FPS games usually play well with the default arrow keys controls). Sometimes I'd also invert the mouse Y axis, but after having some experience …
