DOS Games Discussion

Most older systems only like 32M 72pin simms or smaller (especialy 486 systems).

30 Pin memory came in 256K,1M,2M (rare),4M,8M (not too common) and 16M

Windows 3.0 was the last to run on a 286 correctly I think. IE explorer most likely needs 386 protected mode to work (386 or better)

I think you left out the soundblaster pro 2.0 model (8 bit in stereo). The soundblaster 16 does not emulate this card 100% and many old games miss out on features if the sound card is not 100% pro compatible. Also the Ensoniq Soundscape series was supported in many old games and sounds excellant. I ...

NO! HE IS THE WORST PERSON ALIVE, AND THE NAME OF THE DEVIL

Maybe he will Marry your sister someday.

Chris Rock is funny.

There are alot of catholics in south america.. but a black pope isn't going to happen in an Italian run church thats for sure.

About ant-birth contol and anti-abortion: The catholic religion states that you shouldnt have sex before marrage, and sex is to be used to procreate, not for pleasure. Therefore, its only natural for him to take that stance. Doesn't matter to me either way, im not female. I think the point of this ...

The national government has to pay for defense, roads, schools, emergency aid, social security, disability, medicair, law enforcement, jails, etc.. the church doesn't have to pay for anything besides expenses on running their corperation. I think the money they spend on causes is from collections, t...

I don't think the church hoards money, but it does buy/own a hell of alot of land and businesses (which they pay no taxes on at all) that make up most of its net worth. Its the largest property holder in the world I think. http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,250016,00.html $7,500,000,00...

The Pope meant alot to at least a few of the Billion Roman Catholics, so I can see the big deal they made about his passing. I like how he just stayed in his room and waited for the inevitable with dignity, most people would be in the hopsital making an expensive fuss on the way out. I don't see the...

The pro version of quickbasic (MS Professional Basic 7.1) has a much larger memory limit.

I don't care if people smoke or do other harmfull things to their body as long as society doesn't have to pay to fix them up because of their smoking, and as long as they don't do it by me. Smoking and its diseases should not be covered by any insurance or state/federal medical aid. Go home and hack...

Who the hell programs JAVA for DOS?

I recently aquired a full boxed copy of Microsoft Professional Basic 7.1 (expanded quickbasic 4.5?). I havn't tried using it yet, but how well would this work for doing graphical apps/games?

My whole PC gaming experience was built around upgrading processors, adding ram, sound cards, video cards, and joysticks.

Onboard FDD/HDD controller didn't happen untill the tail end of the 486 era, so NO The board has 8 and 16 Bit ISA slots, VLB was in the 486 era, so NO I've seen 386 compatible mainboards with one or both of these features, that's why I asked. There were some exotic 486 boards that has 386 chips bui...

Onboard FDD/HDD controller didn't happen untill the tail end of the 486 era, so NO The board has 8 and 16 Bit ISA slots, VLB was in the 486 era, so NO The CPU is soldered onto the motherboard, Worked last time I tested it, so YES. I also have a trident ISA video card, mpst likely a ISA HD/floppy con...

Are you in the US? I have a 386SX/40 MB that needs a battery, maybe we could trade.

Tseng Et-6000 based video cards (PCI) are VESA 2 compliant and very fast. The PCI version of the Nvidia Riva128 has VESA 3 in bios and is also very fast in DOS.

Earlier DOS games like Tseng et-4000 based ISA/VLB cards the most

You have a situation where the players cant give in because they will end up making nothing while the team owner is swimming in cash, and the team owners wont give in because they think they have the players by the balls. The final result is nobody will give a dam about hockey anymore (the fans anyw...

There should be a minimum salary plus a cap for each team, so they can buy a superstar or 2 to be competative. You think Wayne gretsky wasnt worth every dollar they paid him when he was in the game? How do you cap the top 10 players in the league that dray the most fans and win the most games? Look ...
