For HT: A trip down memory lane
« on: November 12, 2017, 07:59:17 PM »
This is an old game made by hitech, its probably not possible to find it on the internet anymore: It mostly works, mostly, except joystick controls (Alt-f4 to quit).

Downloaded and tried it, for some reason it only sees my secondary joystick which I have crippled by detaching the stick for throttle use only.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

It's an old game that implements early windows API: Some which have been made depreciated in later windows versions. I am amazed the graphics actually work.

Sudz passed away.

Have no idea where she went.

Minimum: 320x200 resolution requires 486/33, 9600 baud modem, 8 meg RAM, DOS 5.0. 640x480 resolution requires DX2/66 with local bus video and 1 meg RAM. Joystick required.

Enjoy!

I am still looking for WB 1.* as well.
