Dos Games on New Laptop

All of my favorite games are on Dos. I haven’t played them in years. Do older games like XCom and MOO2 run on the new Windows laptops? Was wondering if I could download them on Steam.

Commander Keen in your Browser, and on Android

I wrote this for myself as Keen is my favourite platformer. But looking to see if there is enough interest that I release this for Android.

You can play it in the web browser right now. And you can install the APK on your android phone to play on the go.

I just haven't gotten it on the Play store yet.

Note : Shareware version of Keen 4 is included, but you can provide your own copy of Keen 4, 5, 6 to play the full versions. Runs entirely in your browser using some magic called WASM.

DOSBox on 32bit Linux?

Hi guys!

I have a i686 Asus EEE 1000HG running Alpine

Is there a way to get DOSBox running here?...

The official website has no generic Linux 32bit binaries and I don't really know what to do

Savefile patcher for Princess Maker 2 (DOS)

I used to grind Princess Maker 2 a lot some time ago when I was obsessed with it. Today, I felt an urge to install it in DOSBox again, but instead of grinding, I started editing my savefile. I figured out where all the stats are located, and then wrote this script to do the patching. You can patch your saves selectively and with the values of your choosing by editing the script, it's really self-explanatory. It should make exploring different endings easier, if you don't mind the cheating.

DOS 3D polygon graphics fantasy dungeon with single level

I’m looking for a game I remember from probably the late 80s or early 90s. I ran it on DOS 5.0 It had truly 3D polygon graphics, but with very low polygon count and very basic color shading. Monsters were low polygon count 3D models. A new dungeon was procedurally generated each time you started playing. It had a central cavernous area with walls / rocks at all angles not just vertical. You could see all the big triangles making up the rock / walls. You started as a high level hero character of a random race and class with equipment, you didn’t get to pick anything. If you got a bad character you died quickly. If you got a good character you died later. There was a single dungeon level. As time went by harder and harder monsters were generated. A few of the monsters were human, one of them would steal equipment. Another one was like a witch. The really hard monsters were dragons and Nazgûl mounts. There was no goal other than surviving and gathering loot. You could drop loot on the ground so I would make piles of loot in the furthest back corners of the cavern. You had to try to hide it or guard it because some monsters could pick it up. You could tunnel through the rock with certain wands or spells so the best strategy was to make a hard to find tunnel to run away to or get teleportation to smaller separate areas from the main cavern. It must have been a demo or shareware or freeware, it wasn’t like a polished boxed game.

Looking for an old DOS game about food

EDIT: IT HAS BEEN FOUND. I asked an older friend of mine and he found it immediately!

It's DIET RIOT!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEqVnnZYFJA

I'm trying to find this old DOS game where you played as man being chased by food, like how ghosts would chase Pac-Man.

It takes place in a maze like scenario and you're running away from said food. Foods are like hotdogs, ice cream, burgers, etc. Just fast food. It's vibrant, and colorful.

The main gameplay loop is you run around to get these flyers and you have to deposit them into a trashbin somewhere in the maze.

The ghosts (or food in this case) would chase you and if they reach you, you become fat--like visibly fat, your character sprite changes to reflect this. If you get hit 3 times (I think?), you die. The way you get rid of the fatness is that you exercise on a benchpress that are scattered on the map.

The level ends if you succeed in closing down the fast food places that spawn these fast food items that chase after you.

Does anyone know this? This was a game from my childhood.

A concept video for a fan Leisure Suit Larry Game

Just something I put together for fun using video editing software. I was hoping to make an old school Sierra game in the future and just wanted to learn more about Gimp and other things needed.

I misspelled Liaison and it really bugs me.

New Aces of the Pacific Video

Been a few months since I've done much with AoTP, but finally got some time this morning to record a voice track to a mission I did a while ago. I'm playing some Aces Over Europe now too and man, that game took everything AoTP did and made it better (except with a minor old-man quibble about the color palette of German planes basically matching the Allies, so it's hard for me to do the friend/foe calculation).

But that's a video and post for another time. Enjoy! (?)

Kroz, the forgotten vintage Rogue light games

I liked the Kroz series e.g. “Kingdom of Kroz” so much that at about 14 yo I started making a similar game in QBasic on DOS 5. I got combat working with a bow and arrows or a sword, with monster characters that would move towards you, and blood spots where you killed them. I never made any levels though.

Best DOSBox video settings for MechWarrior 1 on a 1920x1080 monitor?

Hello Everyone,

I am playing MechWarrior 1 for the very first time. I never got to play it back in the day but wanted to, and the desire to finally play it and maybe a few other old Mech games finally came to fruition recently, and I've been playing it using DOSBox. I'm already having some fun with it, but I've also realized that I don't really know what the game properly looked like back in the day. I'm wondering if it should look better or just different. The only changes I made in DOSBox before playing were to the MPU-401 setting to fix the after mission crash issue, and setting the cycle speed. I know very little about DOSBox, as this is my first time using it(outside of GOG installers, which doesn't help me here).

I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me what the ideal settings are that I should change in the .conf file for DOSbox that will make MechWarrior 1 look its best on a 24" 1920x1080 monitor. Let me know if anymore info is needed, and thanks in advance for any help!
