DOS Games Discussion

I noticed that the default FreeDOS mouse driver configuration is a bit too fast in 320x200 screen modes, so I player around a bit and for now have set it up with a horizontal and vertical resolution of 2. To get this auto-loaded at FreeDOS startup, type auto from the command prompt to edit FDAUTO.BA...

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 ...

Glad to hear this, can you tell what it was?

Here's my FDCONFIG.SYS with an added JEMMEX load mode that supports The Elder Scrolls: Arena . This game does not work under FreeDOS out of the box, but loading JEMMEX with the following parameters helps (as suggested by JEMMEX developer): DEVICE=C:\FreeDOS\BIN\JEMMEX.EXE MAX=32M MIN=48 I=B000-B7FF ...

but there are thousands of captures and I can't browse all of them You don't need to browse all of them, you said you played this in 2007-2009? Here's a snapshot of the site from 2008 (I picked the date at random): https://web.archive.org/web/20080324123246/http://www.kidsgames247.com/ If your game...

I've found a very neat SC-55 soundfont to use with 86Box:

Just set the MIDI card to FluidSynth and point it to the sf2 file.

Did I understand you correctly that you played this in the browser, i.e. it was an online game? If so, we may not be of much help, unless you remember exactly what site you played this on. You might be able to access a copy of that site via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

That's very vague, Castles or Castles II maybe?

Ardentryst maybe?

Then try looking in this list:

Was it something like the CGA Robots game? (which is a modern remake of something old that I'm not familiar with, but may have similar gameplay)

86Box with FreeDOS offer an interesting alternative to DOSBox. 86Box accurately emulates x86 hardware, which may provide advantages when running certain games at a consistent speed or without glitches. Since I found no useful guide for installing FreeDOS in 86Box, I had to figure it out myself. It'...

Not S.C.A.R.A.B.?

@MrFlibble: your first link shows a trailing 'equal' sign attached to it I must have made an error when pasting the URL and accidentally put it before the equal sign instead of after it. This is now fixed, thanks for pointing it out! BTW, the version of phpBB here allows for proper mentioning by us...

I don't know, but there is a web version of the DOS game you can play here: It's not a DOS game, it's a Win3.x one and that site just runs DOSBox with an installed version of Win3.1 to run it (which is kind of a shady practice to me). Drachenbauer , why do you think that we know the game so well we...

shina, I replied to your post at the RGB Classic Games forums. If you have other details to share, please do so there, or here, or possibly both.
