Restoration of differing revisions of games' execuables

I'll ask a somewhat unrelated question: consider someone wanted to build a limit-removing Heretic binary from the source, what code changes are required to accomplish that?

Shooting Green Aliens (Old Nintendo Game or very old Windows Game)

If it could have been some old freeware game, try looking at freeware sites from the 2000s:
caiman.us

PC rock climbing game

I can only suggest you Google for rock/mountain climbing at MobyGames, because there does not seem to be a game group for that genre.

Puzzle game - Pearl & Sea Star - Game Power Vol. 2

Are you absolutely certain that there is no readme file included on the CD so you could learn the title? Does the game not show the title when it starts up? (is the CD still readable, that is?)

PC Game fighting robots with real cut scenes

If you're looking for a MechWarrior kind of game with FMVs, try MetalTech: Earthsiege or Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri.

If your game was more like Metal Gear Solid, I'm afraid nothing comes to mind for now.

Installing FreeDOS in 86Box: A step-by-step guide [HOWTO]

I noticed that the default FreeDOS mouse driver configuration is a bit too fast in 320x200 screen modes, so I played around a bit and for now have set it up with a horizontal and vertical resolution of 2. I have figured out what was causing this issue. FreeDOS comes with the CuteMouse mouse driver,...

We're not very knowledgeable about online games here.

You don't look like the usual spambot, so I'm not banning you yet, but your post has nothing to do with the Find Old Games forum, so I put it here, for now.

Mind you that the site you're linking to hosts certain games that is likely shouldn't, and we don't approve of this here.

I think Trouble Bubble is not correct Looks like Trouble Bubble was the game Tarluby83 was looking for, mistakenly identifying it as the same game as the one in Listers ' description. I'll append your game name to the topic title as well. UPD: I looked up Google Images, and it appears that Hoppin' ...

It has been brought to my attention that 86Box can also use GLSL shaders, including for CRT imitation, and those from libretro are compatible with it: https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders So far I've settled for crt-easymode, as it seems rather non-intrusive but gives the screen image a certain ...
