Freedom: Rebels in Darkness (Coktel Vision/Tomahawk, 1988) #DOSGameScreenADay

 Mon May 02 16:22:28 +0000 2016

DOS version of a Coktel Vision game about slavery has been found. Now you can get it here: https://archive.org/details/freedom-dos

 Mon May 02 16:24:46 +0000 2016

Two things:
- It's missing the copy protection sheet. I got around it by using save states. It would be nice if someone would crack it

 Mon May 02 16:25:46 +0000 2016

- It's not very DosBox friendly. Needs really low cycles (1500), but even then it switches screen to barely visible CGA for action sequences

 Mon May 02 16:27:00 +0000 2016

If you want to read up on Freedom, here's a good article from the Obscuratory: http://obscuritory.com/strategy/freedom-rebels-in-the-darkness/

 Mon May 02 16:30:34 +0000 2016

 Mon May 02 16:31:07 +0000 2016

 Mon May 02 16:33:53 +0000 2016

processing. However, since the copy protection is still in, I doubt running it in browser would be very practical.

 Mon May 02 16:34:18 +0000 2016

I was asked not to tell.

 Mon May 02 16:35:57 +0000 2016

Well, what do you know! It lives.

 Mon May 02 16:38:10 +0000 2016

To people who are wondering about the save states:
- Use the Korean DosBox build http://ykhwong.x-y.net/
- Alt+F5 saves, ALT+F9 restores

 Mon May 02 16:40:17 +0000 2016

- It works PER PROGRAM, meaning you have to start the program before you can load a savestate.

 Mon May 02 16:40:54 +0000 2016

- The game requires you to pick TWO colors in a row correctly on your first try. Don't forget to save after you get the first one right.

Soooo........ What about just about everything for the Apple II? Akalabeth?

 Tue May 03 19:48:38 +0000 2016

Honestly. Half of the stuff that was published in the early 80s across all open platforms was independent.

 Tue May 03 19:50:49 +0000 2016

Honestly shit like Mystery House also falls into that category. Or Ultima. Before there was a developer-publisher industry.

I've recently attended this, so I'm well prepared :)

 Tue May 03 19:53:35 +0000 2016

That's one game. And if we get into the pre-DOS era, it's most of it. In Europe 3/4 of all their Spectrum/C64 stuff was made

 Tue May 03 19:59:44 +0000 2016

by teens in bedrooms. Anyway, by 1990 there were plenty of independently developed titles. And not tens, but HUNDREDS.

 Tue May 03 20:00:45 +0000 2016

Ok, so on DOS things are a bit iffy. Digger is probably the earliest example that immediately comes to mind, that's 83, and

 Tue May 03 20:03:58 +0000 2016

I'm sure if I think hard enough, I'll think of quite a few more pre-90s ones.

It's pretty fucking good, considering the platform.

NightShade is not a very good game. Good ideas, but it's not very playable. KQ5 is very playable.

 Thu May 05 18:02:26 +0000 2016

A few adventure games on NES did fine without. Deja Vu, Shadow Gate, Uninvited, Maniac Mansion. All worked.

 Thu May 05 18:03:23 +0000 2016

I would agree if it was an FPS, or an RTS, or any twitch game, but it doesn't really matter that much in an adventure

 Thu May 05 18:03:56 +0000 2016

game. And, considering the platform, a huge game like KQ5 is a big undertaking. It's a good & successful effort.

 Thu May 05 18:04:36 +0000 2016

Only on the NES. The original versions had point and click and drag and drop in a graphical window interface.

Sierra wasn't in peril in the early 90s and sold more copies of everything than LEC.

 Thu May 05 18:15:02 +0000 2016

I'm not a Sierra fanboy, it's just a historical fact. Sierra wasn't in trouble until the late 90s

hardcore Sierra people will agree that LEC games are more peasant to play, BUT what you

And now let's mourn the absence of classic Duke Nukem games via digital distribution because of the legal bullshit.

 Sun May 08 01:07:38 +0000 2016

I'd recommend Life's a Beach highly. DC is alright. Nuclear Winter is awful.

 Sun May 08 01:08:09 +0000 2016

Big companies mostly don't give a fuck about a game from 20 years ago.... Ah, fuck it. I'm not starting another preservation rant again.

 Sun May 08 01:09:59 +0000 2016

You all know what to do. Play old games. Talk about old games. Buy old games that are commercially available. Pirate the rest.

 Sun May 08 01:13:39 +0000 2016

There was a lawsuit. Gearbox vs Interceptor. All Duke Nukem games prior to DNF are current out of distribution because of it.

Interceptor just lost the rights to Duke Nukem, so I don't think they are going to buying anything for a while.

Yeah, sorry I sat on it for so long. Finally hit a critical point of getting them all out.

 Tue May 10 18:35:05 +0000 2016

To be fair, there's a 5 year difference between the two.

 Tue May 10 18:39:10 +0000 2016

Oh yes, very impressive visuals for 92

 Tue May 10 18:41:14 +0000 2016

Look at an old script for an unproduced video review. Jesus. [facepalm]

 Tue May 10 18:41:54 +0000 2016

Ok, yeah, wow. So my plan was to take a script from 3 years ago and just make a video. That was a shitty plan. I need a new script.

 Tue May 10 18:56:55 +0000 2016

So while I'm digesting this idea why don't we take a short trip back to an era of PC magazines when DOS was relevant?

A trailer for the new Kevin Smith film is released, and as usual there's an explosion of Kevin Smith hate. "He's done! This is stupid!"

The Spectrum had 16 colors. It's the way it handled colors that's weird.

 Tue May 10 22:15:49 +0000 2016

It's color mode is essentially text mode overlayed on top of monochrome graphics in an 8x8 grid. All colors are available. >>

 Tue May 10 22:27:27 +0000 2016

>> For each of the squares there's a parameter for a background and a foreground color. Like blue pixels on a green background.
