Post by: StarOfAfrica2 on August 23, 2006, 04:17:57 PM: How'd you get Wing Commander to run on a modern PC?? Even the newest one runs at hyper speed on my computer. PC Magazine tried putting out a "updated" version of it that supposedly worked on modern computers, but I never could get it to play right.

So whats the secret?

Post by: Fishu on August 23, 2006, 04:32:16 PM: Less than a month ago I dug up all my old games and began auctioning them. They've been selling surprisingly well. Just not so many DOS games though.

Found something from the last century:
Advanced Tactical Fighters (dos)
Detroit (dos)
Longbow 2 (winblow)
M1 Tank Platoon 2 (winblow)
NHL 95 (dos)
Close Combat 3 (winblows)
Delta Force 2 (winblows)
Steel Panthers 2 & 3 (winblows)
Carrier Command (amiga)
Imperium (amiga)
Red Storm Rising (amiga)
Roadwar Europa (amiga)
Gunship (amiga)

Also found a box for amiga version of Syndicate, although I don't have the floppies anymore. Almost same thing with B-17 Flying Fortress - I can still remember the disk A having some problems.

I couldn't have believed that someone would actually buy NHL95 but it was actually sold. The guy who bought it was tired of playing NHL94 (I can imagine :huh ).

Too bad no other helicopter sim compares with LB2. I doubt the upcoming lock-on addon could compare with it. Soon after LB2 the EA shutdown the sim devs and became a boring publisher without versatility.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.

There is a small mailbox here.

Post by: OOZ662 on August 23, 2006, 09:45:16 PM: Yup, use a DOS emulator. Can use them for all platforms, including NES and Amiga. Even though I wasn't realy around for most of the old games, I still play some of them on this computer with emulators.

Post by: Tarmac on August 23, 2006, 11:09:05 PM: I just finished the original XCom again. It's my laptop game, since not too many others work on a laptop.

I use DOSbox as my DOS emulator... works fine, although I haven't tried any other DOS games on it.
