Probably my favourite Indy adventure, (yes, even more than the Fate of Atlantis), although this level was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to beat. (And then I had to do it again to record this video)

Good to see Freelancer is so popular at the top of GOGs dreamlist. However, you don't need to wait. You can get it My Abandonware and is one of the easier games to get working on modern PCs - it installs and runs straight from the CD image. www.myabandonware.com/game/freelan...

I haven't posted this here yet, but I also made a repack of the game Mortyr, a forgotten Polish FPS from 1999. It's working on modern systems with widescreen patches and CD music included. I just uploaded it on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/Mort...

Pretty sure we dumped the family VIC-20 around then... For a C64, which stuck around until the early 90s...

I just uploaded 3.5 and 5.25 inch floppy disks of "The Colonel's Bequest" to The Internet Archive. Pristine disk images, RAW streams and beautiful 300dpi scans of all 14 disks. Have fun! archive.org/details/@dfxthomas #MSDOS #KryoFlux #RetroGaming #FloppyDisk

Still love this game. Push up the realism settings, allow no restarts, see how long I last.

Doom hit at exactly the right moment for me. Kids trading floppy disks with games your parents would be aghast at. The slim but ever present fear of a computer virus infecting your computer. Realizing that you could build upon the game to make your own thing. We had it good back then, right?

Name a game you have 100+ hours in. Amazing how many hours can be lost trying to get the perfectly modded game rather than playing the actual game...

PPG GOTY 2024, part 7/59. The best shooters better than COD! There’s something about using real war settings for killing humans as fun that will always feel wrong to me. This collection gives plenty of other options. www.pressplaygaming.net/articles/202...

#DOSember The mid 90s saw First-Person Shooters move away from the arrow keys for movement, to WASD, most likely popularized by Quake in 96. For some reason, 1995's Terminator: Future Shock's default "A, Left Shift, Z, X" didn't catch on...

Just saw a comment on YouTube about treating your Backlog as more of a wine cellar. Add things you want and then peruse it for a game to suit your mood. And I suddenly feel so much better 😅

Btw, since we're all on a new network now, if you have a video or an article about something that relates to DOS gaming, tag your linked post with #DOSGaming. I'll eventually find it, watch/read it, and repost it.

In July 2006, Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 98, 98SE, and ME. In 2011, they switched off the Windows Update service for those operating systems completely. Thankfully, it's back thanks to a community effort! So let's try it out... youtu.be/u3M87bfnyuI

Unreal (1998) still holds up pretty well! And you know what else? Epic gave the green light to the Old Unreal site to host the Unreal and Unreal Tournament. How awesome is that?!
