By now probably pretty hard. In all honesty you're better off hitting up torrent trackers that specialize in rare stuff.

It's still not very good, but then pretty much none of Hellraiser sequels are (except for 5.) Better flow and story.

Text editor, hex viewer, wave player, archiving, tree views, backups, screensavers, disk tools... All hail Norton Commander!

 Sun Nov 11 15:46:16 +0000 2012

Because of all that when people tell me they didn't use NC, I assume they used a ton of other programs to make their life easier.

Good morning Internet! For today's #MorningDOSTalk I'd like to talk about genre I know almost nothing about - RPG

 Mon Nov 12 13:37:17 +0000 2012

It's very easy to explain why I wasn't into RPGs if you take my background into consideration: I grew up in post-Soviet Russia...

 Mon Nov 12 13:41:42 +0000 2012

In the early days rpgs often required you consulting huge manuals, yet I lived in the country where everything, but manuals got pirated.

 Mon Nov 12 13:44:13 +0000 2012

Also, my English was non-existent. That was a big stumbling block. Hell, I even played the first Monkey Island with a dictionary.

 Mon Nov 12 13:47:47 +0000 2012

I always liked the Ultima series though. Ultima 7 is an absolutely amazing game.

 Mon Nov 12 13:52:53 +0000 2012

Of course there's also the Quest for Glory series that I love, but let's face it, it much more adventure than RPG.

All Carmack gave you is the ability to load up an external data file. That's it. No tools, no file format descriptions were included.

Nevermind that you didn't know formats of maps or bitmaps, you didn't even know a format of a wad file itself.

 Tue Nov 13 19:01:38 +0000 2012

Of course, people were a lot more determined back then too, so you could just leave it at that and be praised for a smart move.

Lol. That's different. I used to hack into game data files for fun. Come to think about it, I used 2 have a lot of patience.

Figured out the controls and how to take off as a kid without a manual, and most of the time you could start airborne already. #Retaliator

 Wed Nov 14 13:51:11 +0000 2012

Great smooth graphics, neat features like missle camera view and ejection made it fun. Granted, it wasn't really much of a simulator.

Since European films were shot silent and looped afterwards, I'm sure that happened more often than we think.
