I’ll try making this short as much as I can. Basically I just got an iMac G3 because I wanted to explore the exclusive games released on it. I’ve been using GOG GALAXY for older dos games because I’m a complete newbie then something hit me… What if I could run dos game on that iMac CRT?

So far I was able to make some incredible games work such as Anvil of Dawn and Zeliard. But one game has been keeping me up at night because I can’t seem to be able to set it up: Legacy: Realm of Terror. I’ve been using DOS 6.22 and something called DOS 2000 on Connectix Virtual PC 5.0. Let’s say my ultimate terror is being able to free up enough conventional space memory to get the game to run. I researched a lot of tutorials and even asked Gemini… I cannot for the love of who knows what free up enough memory. I’m always around 20k short. Any idea or should I just stick to playing it on a 4K monitor? From what I gather, it’d be way easier if I ran macOS X instead.

I’ve had somebody try and help, but they got frustrated real fast cause I wasn’t quick enough to grasp what they wanted me to do, RIP.

EDIT: I’m still trying to free up 2,700 bytes. That’s all I need to reach the 610,000 bytes the game is asking for. Typing NOEMS does no good since the game needs it. Darn.

EDIT 2: I don’t know how I did it, but the game works now. All I have to do is to figure out why the mouse isn’t working in game (DOS 6.22).

EDIT 3: Installed CTMOUSE.EXE and everything works great now! What a ride.

I just acquired my first Macintosh PC, an iMac G3 Graphite. As I restarted the PC, I realised the speaker on the right side started sounding blown out. I’d like to replace it, but I’d like to avoid looking for used part as I don’t want it to be a gamble. I’m from Canada; is there any store that sells brand new speaker drivers? Or is there cheap speakers I could dismantle and put in that iMac? I don’t mind soldering if that’s needed.

Toshiba 36a10 36” TV. I’m not sure how much I like it so far, but the size definitely is something. I’m no CRT wiz, so I hope I’ll be able to get a good picture out of it because it looks a bit rough at the moment :’) I couldn’t really find much info about that one online for some reason.

Now I need to find myself a nice SEGA Saturn and Shining the Holy Ark!
