DOS Games Discussion

you are most definitely amazing, I have been wanting to play this game for SO many years (I own it, but the Fodor's book was lost many years ago probably in a move), and now I can. THANKS

I found my "where in the USA is carmen sandiego" game from a LONG time ago (DOS for sure), which came on either two floppies, or two big floppies (the ones that are literally floppy), but could never find the big Fodor's book that came with it, which is really a requirement since they ask ...

Looking for a place to buy the 2nd and 3rd episodes for Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, and for Crystal Caves.. for decent prices. I checked ebay but no one has them for sale there. Any help would be appreciated.

im also looking for it too, anyone?

*discussion =O

And The thing with Abandonia is they are obviously doing something right if they've yet to get shut down. Maybe it's the fact that they dont have free downloads for all the games, only the ones that have no threat of copyright infringement..

if Abandonware wasn't legal, why is it still a website? It's been around forever and they have (to the best of my knowledge) never been sued for anything relating to "illegal file sharing" or "copyright infringement".

no im not Red_Wing on Osprey

yep here:

It's on Abandonia.

Had to chop this up slightly... as we're not really allowed to post abandonware links. --wardrich

You should try Castles 2, it can be downloaded for free online,legally. And in my opinion it's a lot more interesting/fun then castles 1 (though I liked that one some too). I bet castles 2 will catch on quickly.

It installs fine, the sound tests work, but when i try to run it (dosbox) it just doesnt load, anyoneknow a fix?

I checked into it, its actually "Treasure Mathstorm"

I mostly played Castles 2 back in the day and remember always attacking the pope and getting owned. Never could beat it. Remembered that the game existed earlier this year, downloaded it, and finally beat it a few times (and had a fun time doing it). To me it seems like an early version of "Age...

I have a few old Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 PCs at home.. not sure the specs on them The PC I use is: Vista Home Premium OS Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4GHz 2GB (1GBx2) Corsair DDR2 800MHz RAM XFX Geforce 7900GT 256MB PCI-E Graphics Card 250GB Seagate Barracuda HD 160GB Western Digital HD 600W OCZ GameXS...

XFX Geforce 7900GT 256MB PCI-E

overkill for dos games.. psh course not..

Thank I'll try that too

and yes I have the original X Wing cd

Cant find my tie fighter floppies though which makes me sad Have the box they came in, but no floppies *tear*

first time hearing of that program.. I will surely try it, thank you very much

(anyone else tried this game using ScummyVM and had success?)

When I install X Wing and try to run it, in dosbox on windows xp, it says it is unnable to find a cd present. Everything is mounted correctly. Apparently this is a common problem for this game. Anyone know a solution?

No dont think that was it.. sorry that I can't give a more accurate description, its been so long. most of the fighting was done out on the open land, not so much in confined spaces. and the two creatures i remember most from it were ghosts.. and wolves i think.. some of your people could cast spell...

There's very little I remember about this game aside from that fact that it was a lot of fun and that its been over 10 years since I've played it... It was pretty old, probably Windows 3.1 or DOS, and reminds me , in terms of gameplay, of something like Baldur's Gate. You controlled a group of creat...

Could be Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego.. I always liked that one more than where in the World
