DOS Games Discussion

Alright, I got the game working, but it is having horrible sound problems. Is there a way to fix that? Someone mentioned DOS sounds are set up differently from PC sounds or something. Actually it seems to lag. When I was asking questions it seemed to go slow and the sounds appear not right. And when...

I downloaded Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. I have heard that there are many mods made by the community that adds to the longevity of the already huge game. Does this free version, as well as using DOSBox, allow for community made projects and patches, as well as patches from the original creators? If s...

I do not bother selling created stuff. Things I create are free as well, although I do not pretend they are worth to be sold anyway. Regardless, I have read the rules and see that two sites, assuming that they are still up, are allowed regarding abandonware, so I shall be searching them as well. :th...

I was reading up on abandonware and there seems to be a fine grey line. As far as the other game I mentioned, it is not so important. Thanks anyway.

Ahhh... I think I meant GoG in the buying department not MobyGames, but Moby does have a huge list of games. :laugh: Although I do have a question regarding legal free games. There was a website I found many years ago, that was like this one, heck it might of even been this one, that had all these g...

Well, speaking of not as good as it could be. I personally feel I could make a game. However, it is not up to me how good it is. It depends on if I am inspired. I think Jesus Christ plays a big role in my life. He always picks me up when I think I have nothing left. Anyways, I hope my programming g...

Sounds like Nightmare Creatures. Oh yes, that definitely could be it. The "man wielding a a double-edged staff sword thing (much like darth maul's but with blades )" threw me off. The guy in NC is a monk and weilds a staff of sorts while the girl has the sword[s] and it was also a demo fr...

Thanks for trying. I downloaded it from the site, so this is the first time I have ever tried the game, so I could not say if there was music or not. If your attempt works I of course would like to try it, but you would need to walk me through it since I am computer/DOSBOX illiterate.

Yes that has to be the game. The only other game I can even think of was strictly on the original PS1 called Soul of the Samurai. However that was a sub par game in my opinion. But when you said samuria and Resident Evil, that is what came to mind first. Edit: I apologize for reviving an old thread.

This irks me not knowing, because I am pretty good on original PlayStation games. However when you say fantasy and 3rd person, was this a hack and slash, an RPG, an adventure game, etc.? And was this on a PSM (PlayStation Monthly) demo disk or something that came with the console as a demo? Deathtra...

Stonekeep does remind me a bit of the game I am referring to, but the combat system is not the same, at least not by those screen shots anyway. Also I still think my game looks a bit better than that. And I looked through all the Might & Magics and Ultima's last night on Moby and they do not loo...

I am quite content with what games are availble legally for free. There are so many and I was looking at MOBY and they have quite a few for the entire series for a very decent price. I assume they give you the keys for them. I have heard other ways of gaining keys and I have been burnt more than onc...

That is an interesting story and worth researching. That is the game yes and I am using DOSBOX. However what I meant was, should I run another program from my game file folder. Can I run both the “begin.exe” and something else at the same time? Or do I have to run the other first and save the config...

Nahhh..., that game is not and neither were any from that list. Thanks though. It truly was not as complicated as any of those and the graphics were from and moved like a FPS or perhaps over the shoulder, but not top down, except maybe the radar.

I searched in game for the options menu and what I found was not what I was looking for. Instead of running the game itself, which mine is "begin.exe", I should try to run another thing inside the folder from DOSBOX itself? Why would not all options be on the intial game screen or is this ...

I assume some games, depending on how old and or the quality of the game, may or may not have any music or sounds. However I would assume Ancients (Which I downloaded from this site from the RPG section.) would have something. I know sound works with Alleycat, but I am not sure what is wrong with An...

Thanks, I got it now. Hopefully I can remember or I will just come here to see the coding. And I am hoping Crossbow is the game the original poster was searching for.

My final game question for now. As with the others it may have been early 90's or late 80's, Windows and DOS or CD and a racing/obstacle course type game where you are on roller skates/blades and trying to simply get from one end of the field to the other before the time ran out, going left to right...

As the rest of my games so far in question, it was most likely for Windows in the early 90's or late 80's, DOS or CD and it was a simulation type game. You started as a bug, maybe a spider and it was your quest to find your mate as it were. The land was very flat for the most part, although there wa...

Like my other game question, all I can say is I think it was for Windows, may have been either DOS or CD and was back in the early 90's, but perhaps late 80's. You are in a car/vehicle (Or maybe it was suppose to represent you moving around on foot...) blocky looking thing and you were traveling aro...
