Wed Oct 24 02:40:57 +0000 2012So playing Hotline Miami last night made me think of Dreamweb, which in turn made me think of a topic for #MorningDOSTalk
Wed Oct 24 12:29:43 +0000 2012What are your thoughts on excessive violence in games? After all in the 90s it looked like developers tried to one up each other on gore.
Wed Oct 24 12:37:48 +0000 2012I think Dreamweb, love it or hate it, used violence very well. You could overlook a lot of its shortcomings because of it.
Wed Oct 24 12:40:01 +0000 2012Other games tried too. Like, ahem, Harvester. I sort of enjoy that one as well. Or maybe I just enjoy the concept/idea.
Wed Oct 24 12:46:18 +0000 2012Of course then there is Carmageddon, which labels violence as fun, builds gameplay around it and doesn't try to be philosophical.

Thu Oct 25 13:23:48 +0000 2012I'm a one config type of guy. I'm still the same way with dosbox. I got one config for it that I rarely touch.
Thu Oct 25 13:25:59 +0000 2012All this extended memory talk reminds me of how far we have come since those days. My phone has more ram that any of my dos machines.
Thu Oct 25 13:36:52 +0000 2012Nobody else wants to comment extended memory? I guess I better file it with other things people were happy to forget about.
Thu Oct 25 13:48:06 +0000 2012That's a topic on its own. Annoying things from dos era that we don't have to deal with anymore. Like bootdisks and memory management.
Thu Oct 25 13:49:31 +0000 2012Drivers that required manual configuring. Damaged floppy disks. Physical copy ptotection.

Fri Oct 26 01:16:30 +0000 2012If anyone on here is tired of me proclaiming my love for Hotline Miami, please forgive me. It's only the most fun game I played all year.
Fri Oct 26 01:17:33 +0000 2012Ok, so the once you solve puzzle Hotline Miami does have a slightly different ending. A less mysterious inferior one. Oh well.
Fri Oct 26 01:37:34 +0000 2012You'd think all the cats that figured out how to use the Internet a while back would also learn proper English by now.

If you collect all the letters and solve the puzzle, you'll get different dialogue in the last chapter explaining things.

Fri Oct 26 11:43:12 +0000 2012Good morning everyone! Ready for some #MorningDOSTalk ? How about your favorite soundtracks? (as suggested by @djbriandamage )
Fri Oct 26 12:35:54 +0000 2012Feel free do discuss your favorite music hardware as well. Tell me about your favorite sound cards and what games you prefer on them.
Fri Oct 26 12:38:37 +0000 2012I'll be honest, growing up in Russia with a single parent I didn't really have many options for sound cards. Hence my attachment to AdLib.
Fri Oct 26 12:45:51 +0000 2012It really wasnt till mid 90s that I got to hear what proper midi instruments sound like. Today I still set a lot of games 2 adlib. Nostslgia
Fri Oct 26 12:56:19 +0000 2012A lot of Sierra games sounded amazing on good cards, especially MT-32, but neither mine or my friend's parents could afford that.
Fri Oct 26 13:05:07 +0000 2012My best friend from school had a Covox. Probably the most ghetto piece of music hardware. I'm laughing now, but we loved it then.
Fri Oct 26 13:08:24 +0000 2012Come to think about it, I still have a .drv file that made Sierra vga games work with Covox somewhere.
Fri Oct 26 13:10:20 +0000 2012Replying to @djbriandamage
Covox is the same thing, minus the plastic and the knob!
Fri Oct 26 13:11:37 +0000 2012Replying to @djbriandamage
Well, it just had a mono wave output. Software did the mixing back then anyway, so that was enough.
Fri Oct 26 13:26:13 +0000 2012I won't talk about my favorite soundtracks because I'm so deeply in love with every piece of gaming music, I can't pick favorites.
Fri Oct 26 13:41:13 +0000 2012It's like asking me about my favorite movies. I got a list 75 titles long.

Fri Oct 26 14:35:48 +0000 2012Replying to @AveTory
Could be. But then a 64 bit system would be powerful enough to run it on an emulator.
Fri Oct 26 14:37:21 +0000 2012Some of my favorite pc speaker music is in Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge. Miami Ice track <3

Works just fine on Vista, and there's a workaround for getting Virtual PC installed on 64 bit.
