Good morning, fellow DOS enthusiasts!

 Tue Dec 01 13:36:39 +0000 2015

And now a serious question for the developed world: were cover CDs common for magazines in 1995? I thought no

 Tue Dec 01 13:39:06 +0000 2015

The only reason I'm asking is because I found a non-interactive Heroes of Might and Magic demo that's A HUNDRED & FIFTY megs! Very short too

 Tue Dec 01 13:43:50 +0000 2015

I know nobody would be crazy enough to download a 150 meg rolling demo in 95, so I figured it must have been on a cover disc.

 Wed Dec 02 16:18:22 +0000 2015

Is it EGA? I thought it was 16 color VGA in 640x350 mode. Meaning it wouldn't be possible on a EGA card

 Wed Dec 02 16:24:37 +0000 2015

Why are you telling me this?

 Wed Dec 02 16:27:29 +0000 2015

13h :)

 Wed Dec 02 16:43:53 +0000 2015

Its standard for EGA. On VGA you could use EGA modes, but alter the palette. So technically standard as well

 Wed Dec 02 17:23:02 +0000 2015

I think it's more of a case of not-really-used-much, and not a "non-standard"

 Wed Dec 02 17:24:47 +0000 2015

That's not the only standard VGA resolution. VGA supported a lot. Including 640x480x16c. That's standard.

 Wed Dec 02 17:26:45 +0000 2015

Yep. Technically you could switch it to 320x200x16c as well. Duke Nukem 2 & Supaplex do that

 Wed Dec 02 17:27:55 +0000 2015

You have to remember that they were all backwards compatible, so VGA *had to* have a 640x350 mode, since it

 Wed Dec 02 17:30:43 +0000 2015

was always intended to be the main EGA mode (that very few ended up using)

 Wed Dec 02 17:31:09 +0000 2015

I'm also certain that you could change the colors in 4 color mode as well. I doubt that was ever used.

 Wed Dec 02 17:51:57 +0000 2015

Ah, yes. It would be 41 pixels total.

 Wed Dec 02 17:54:51 +0000 2015

Are you sure? Maybe your monitor couldn't handle the non standard mode it dished out?

 Wed Dec 02 17:55:28 +0000 2015

I just read a theory that it would be to limit the refresh rate to 60 hz (vs 70 obv.)

 Wed Dec 02 17:56:37 +0000 2015

Yes, the resolution is 320x199. Which apparently results in a 60 hz 320x240 image, hence the letterboxing. Go figure.

Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage, and Blood. All 1997.

Fallout, Carmageddon, The Last Express, Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. Also 97.

Dungeon Keeper, GTA, Heroes of Might & Magic 2, KKND, MDK. Also 1997.

 Sun Dec 06 19:00:31 +0000 2015

Many more too. Some less notable, but still very playable DOS games.

 Sun Dec 06 19:01:05 +0000 2015

I know I'm probably late to the party, but I just looked at the newspaper rack and LOLed at the NY Daily News. Pretty good trolling there.

 Mon Dec 07 20:29:26 +0000 2015

Yep. The balance is off as well. Some enemies take too many hits, but levels don't have that much ammo. Add the inability to

 Mon Dec 07 20:56:19 +0000 2015

save and it becomes super frustrating on certain levels. It's a pretty solid shooter, but not a great one.

Hmmm... Maybe Gods? Although the title doesn't match

 Mon Dec 07 23:22:14 +0000 2015

They were the most prolific ones. So it's a ratio of quantity/quality. The other companies didn't produce

#ExplainAFilmPlotBadly Guy gets in trouble, but then shoots a lot of people & everything works out. (Am I doing this right?)

 Mon Dec 14 01:15:13 +0000 2015

Okay, where's the vodka at?

 Mon Dec 14 01:17:50 +0000 2015

Oh...

 Mon Dec 14 01:17:59 +0000 2015

If you know which game this came from, you're a cool DOS person.

 Mon Dec 14 01:18:29 +0000 2015

(Although honestly this one isn't that hard)

 Mon Dec 14 01:18:55 +0000 2015

Yes, I realized that way too late.

 Mon Dec 14 01:21:50 +0000 2015

Took me years to realize that I wasn't incapable of understanding chemistry, but rather that my teacher was (a) shit(ty person)

 Mon Dec 14 01:24:07 +0000 2015

Ah, that one I was unfortunately incapable of. I had very nice teachers try to help a lot.

 Mon Dec 14 01:26:48 +0000 2015

I sort of regret not being able to thank the good ones though. Mostly because I didn't realize their impact until it was too late

 Mon Dec 14 01:27:51 +0000 2015

Oh that's awesome. :)
