Mon Mar 09 13:08:42 +0000 2015Good morning, fellow DOS enthusiasts! Have you ever purchased an official hint book or a strategy guide for a DOS game? #MorningDOSTalk
Mon Mar 09 13:13:36 +0000 2015Or called a hint line maybe? Tweet at me! #MorningDOSTalk

Mon Mar 09 13:19:01 +0000 2015RT @billybob476: @dosnostalgic yes sir!
Mon Mar 09 13:23:00 +0000 2015Official hint books and strategy guides were not available in my part of the world, but I did buy a collection of walkthroughs at one point
Mon Mar 09 13:36:34 +0000 2015It was a thick book. All walkthroughs were written by the author. "Adventure and role playing games. Volume 1" or something like that.
Mon Mar 09 13:37:44 +0000 2015I didn't speak any English at that point, so the blurbs that translated in-game text were great.
Mon Mar 09 13:38:30 +0000 2015It had translations of everything from Alone in the Dark, which led to me looking up Lovecraft in many local libraries.

Mon Mar 09 15:14:48 +0000 2015Recent surprise: getting a complete boxed copy of Full Throttle & discovering that it came packaged with a 300 page strategy guide.
Mon Mar 09 15:17:21 +0000 2015Why?! Out of all the games that needed 300 page walkthroughs included with them, Full Throttle certainly isn't one.
Mon Mar 09 15:18:42 +0000 2015A page of hints is MORE than enough for that game. Seriously.
Mon Mar 09 15:19:02 +0000 2015To people wondering about Full Throttle strategy guide:
Just grabbing bartender by his nose ring is A WHOLE PAGE.
Mon Mar 09 15:31:08 +0000 2015Of course, about half the book is Q & A style hints, half is the actual walkthrough & there's other random stuff in there too.
Mon Mar 09 15:33:31 +0000 2015I'm with @squarewavesfm. Quest for Glory VGA is really great. Great visual update & a bit more accessible gameplay. Best Sierra update.
Mon Mar 09 16:15:27 +0000 2015Not to say that EGA one is inferior. No. It's just the update is very good.

Wed Mar 11 11:57:14 +0000 2015I'm at work now, but I really wanna be at home playing Hotline Miami 2. Something tells me I wasn't that far away from finishing it.
Wed Mar 11 12:10:00 +0000 2015I'm not done yet, but I don't understand any of the criticism it received. "It's too hard with all these new characters." Don't be a bitch!
Wed Mar 11 12:12:08 +0000 2015Having characters with different abilities forces you to alter you style a bit and offers more challenge. Something I welcome.
Wed Mar 11 12:14:35 +0000 2015My biggest beef with Hotline Miami 1: too freaking easy!

Here it's a bit different. Hotline Miami is linear & have to play as all the characters. Their abilities are specifically
Wed Mar 11 12:35:59 +0000 2015Replying to @38percentsure
chosen to put a twist on the original's mechanics. Like, some characters can't use guns, for example.

Wed Mar 11 13:35:07 +0000 2015Karateka is a great game. Granted, not a particularly long one, but my early memories of it was mostly me failing at it. #MorningDOSTalk

Wed Mar 11 13:37:10 +0000 2015And, of course, the biggest fail of all - approaching the girl in a battle stance. Fuck.
Wed Mar 11 13:38:34 +0000 2015Prince of Persia was installed on what seemed to be every computer in a post-Soviet region. But despite playing it a lot, it took...
Wed Mar 11 13:40:37 +0000 2015... forever to finish. I remember seeing it for the first time. Graphics and animation were absolutely mindblowing.

A classic, of course.
Wed Mar 11 13:42:53 +0000 2015I remember being pretty impressed with Prince of Persia 2. A cool intro, an action packed opening, beautiful art. #MorningDOSTalk
Wed Mar 11 13:44:24 +0000 2015It didn't take long for the game to become super frustrating though. Back then I didn't care as much though.
Wed Mar 11 13:44:54 +0000 2015Of course, Mechner can't really be blamed for it. He was too busy partying in Paris. As suspected, he wasn't really involved with the sequel

Wed Mar 11 13:48:24 +0000 2015When the game actually arrived, I really didn't care for it. I think I found the graphics style off-putting & the game boring. I was stupid.
Wed Mar 11 13:49:33 +0000 2015I rediscovered the game later and somehow almost immediately managed to recognize it as a masterpiece that it is. #MorningDOSTalk
Wed Mar 11 13:50:12 +0000 2015The Last Express is an amazing game that is now available on GOG, Steam, iOs & Android. You have no reason not to try it.

Some people watch movies to look for tits. That doesn't devalue the story in any way.
Wed Mar 11 15:50:12 +0000 2015All I'm saying that if criticism made you rethink certain points of your story, & deem them not essential - remove them.
Wed Mar 11 15:55:39 +0000 2015Because if you say that "sexual violence" is not essential to the story of your game, that just means it's there for exploitation purposes.
Wed Mar 11 15:56:30 +0000 2015But if you think it's absolutely essential to do, fuck all switches, stick to your guns.

Tue Mar 31 12:43:18 +0000 2015First things first - if you've ever honestly finished a Bitmap Bros game, tell your story! #MorningDOSTalk

Tue Mar 31 12:45:45 +0000 2015Betty Boo is Doin' the Do in Magic Pockets. Officially licensed music: http://youtu.be/QyMy_b1YcEk #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 12:52:40 +0000 2015Magic Pockets itself, I feel, is very overrated though. #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 12:53:47 +0000 2015RT @richardcobbett: @dosnostalgic I mostly know it because it was used on a Saturday morning magazine show called Motormouth - one of those…
Tue Mar 31 12:54:59 +0000 2015RT @richardcobbett: @dosnostalgic right, right, jump, fire' etc. The Bitmap Brothers provided a couple of those. Xenon was on an earlier on…
Tue Mar 31 12:55:01 +0000 2015Unfortunately, in early days all DOS Bitmap Bros games suffered from limited sound support. Biggest loss - Xenon 2 #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 12:57:19 +0000 2015Xenon 2: Megablast licensed both the name & the song from Bomb the Bass' Assault on Precinct 13 remix #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 12:59:36 +0000 2015Z is a fucking masterpiece & pretty much the real Bitmap Bros' swan song. #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:04:03 +0000 2015RT @Acantophis3rD: @dosnostalgic Finished Z last year. Something I couldn't manage as a kid. And hell how hard I tried. As many I guess.
Tue Mar 31 13:04:15 +0000 2015Xenon 2 on CDTV had a redbook soundtrack full of licensed 80s/90s songs! #NotDOS
Tue Mar 31 13:08:46 +0000 2015First Xenon game is kind of meh, and its DOS port is rather creepy. Are we all agreed on that? #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:11:51 +0000 2015Speedball was Bitmap Bros first big hit. It's a fine game, but I can only take it in small doses. #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:12:37 +0000 2015Cadaver is cool because the genre of isometric exploration-frustration games really bloomed in the 8bit era, but was never popular in 16 bit
Tue Mar 31 13:16:16 +0000 2015So Cadaver is just that. A gorgeous isometric exploration game where you can die or screw yourself on almost every screen. #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:17:34 +0000 2015If you ever played Batman, Fairlight or similar games on the Spectrum, you'll be right at home.
Tue Mar 31 13:19:29 +0000 2015Mystic Towers is a good DOS game like that, so if you enjoyed that you might wanna give Cadaver a shot, just be aware that it's much harder.
Tue Mar 31 13:21:26 +0000 2015Gods. Oh boy, Gods. What is it about Gods? #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:23:09 +0000 2015I normally hate memorization platformers. Like, I DESPISE Rick Dangerous. But I adore Gods despite it being pretty much that very same thing
Tue Mar 31 13:24:27 +0000 2015I think it was the visual design, to be honest. Each new enemy was unexpected. Weapons too. Everything just clicked. #MorningDOSTalk

Tue Mar 31 13:33:08 +0000 2015Xenon 2 is a good looking shmup, but, you know, DOS has Tyrian, so why bother? #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:35:15 +0000 2015The Chaos Engine, anyone? I haven't played much of it for some reason. #MorningDOSTalk
Tue Mar 31 13:35:57 +0000 2015RT @spaghettidba: @dosnostalgic I loved Xenon 2! One of my favourites on my 8088!
