DOS Games Discussion

Good job finding it; it seems to have had a C64 release too: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/166266-murder-in-the-museum-1987 For DOS it came out on the Big Blue Disc #16: https://www.mobygames.com/game/97065/big-blue-disk-16/ (I have submitted a short entry for it at Mobygames) This ...

I've never played it, but the Amiga version seems to have some installation instructions at HOL.
(More or less just copy files from floppy to the HD game directory)

I haven't played much in this game style, but there are some websites which may have some suggestions here:

Reddit might be a good place to ask also.

I don't know, but there is a web version of the DOS game you can play here:

Q: "A 3d FPS or 3rd Person view game, I remember a light tower and a blue barrier in the sky, we were either trying to shut the barrier down or keep it on, there was a currency called "Pearls" in this game with which you could buy things. In one of the levels, I remember driving a Jet...

I can only direct you to Wikipedia; there is a list of animated series without dialogue here:

Good job!

DOS 6.22 natively only understands FAT16, and Windows 10 only creates FAT32 as standard. To either create a FAT16 on Win10, or access a FAT32 partition from earlier than DOS 7.10, you need to use some 3rd-party software. There are several ways to do this with various 3rd party partitioning software....

Argh ?

or look through the list of sliding block puzzles:

Maybe a Soko-ban type of game?

This ad is from the floppy release, marked 'to be released in august'. There are later CD releases with covers on Mobygames, and those don't mention the editor. I looked at a forum that talked about this game (among other things), and I read a comment indicating it was never released. Maybe you can ...

Ok, I think it is spelt 'Blym', at least the character seems to fit with a green blob in a hat.
It can be played in a flash-sandbox app, if it supports 'actionscript 3' which the game uses.

I guess it is a bit random to find these old disks; there is a picture archive here: http://pcplus.atspace.com/
All are of the UK magazine but nothing for download or purchase what I can see.

At archive.org there are some cover disks in collections but it seems not the #48 one you look for.

Wasn't those monthly magazines & disks, e.g. 12 issues/year? (What I recall the magazine was localized, so it could possibly be a different content on the floppy in your country than in mine) Issue #48 is from 1990 what I can see when googling for them, so maybe you are thinking of something else?

Very much DDOS going on recently I think - keep getting messages aimed at other spam-IP:s I think.

Edit: I noticed my timezone was off in my profile, possibly since last update of the forum - I fixed that, but still issues with 'permanently banned IP' messages.

Ok.

I thought of that also at first, but the OP specifically said it was not one of Shatners games.

A couple of times today I've seen a spambot warning screen for my own IP when I have logged in or making a report.
Looking at spamhouse.com, I cannot find a matching warning there, and when retrying the operation things work as usual again.

Is there some overload attack still ongoing, or what?

That sounds like something for the Vogons DOSBox games forum.
I don't know the game, so I can't be of much help.

Not really collecting them, but I have a few such releases for various games (not for DOOM as I don't have that game, but for Unreal and others). Not exactly shovelwares, but community-produced addons released on CD.
