Here's a link to Lords of Conquest;

If you have time to kill with a friend, this game is awesome.

I think all the 2D scrollers and the like would have made great Clie games.... but that is just me, I grew up in that era....

Nowadays they just throw pretty graphics at us and forget to actually make a game a lot of the time


I just wish I could get all my old Demoscene programs to run under emulaton - I have things like Crystal Dream 2 and Second Reality on my MindCandy DVD, but it's just not the same...!

I agree totally - I find it difficult to get a good game nowadays - everything is graphics - I like UT2004/Quake 3 once in a while - its great to let out frustation by killing people LRC ... but games like the 2D version of Prince, Pacman, BalckJack just to name a few that I played were awesome -

I am honestly thinking of reverting my system entirely back to DOS and leave it like that - but then ...

LOL I was thinking the same thing in passing, but I would hate to see how fast a llitle CGA hardware-timed game like "Bouncing Babies" would look blurring it's way along at 3.0 Ghz!

Prince of Persia rocked on even my 7Mhz CGA-flavored XT, and I ran SimCity as well, although it was a "leave it running all day" proposition!
I have remained true, and have had a version of SimCity on almost every machine since, including SC3K on this PC, and SimCity on my TH55!

DOS was extremely cool, and familiarity with it made all the difference when I started playing with Windows. Heck, I still catch myself calling folders directories.

Sometimes.

I love side scrollers also, and I was hoping for more since I havd my little tiny Sony gamepad. Dammit, why didn't anything support my keyboard. Grumbles. I would've thought that the directional buttons on the keypad would've worked for everything, but nooooooooooo.

My 386 DX ran old 286 games at the speed of blur, even with the turbo turned off.

Just install DosBox, I'm running it on a Mac. Sooon, Star Control 2 will be running, I just figured out how to edit the config file, so I'm creating a custom one. It's weird with this virtual z: drive it creates.

thats an idea I could use .. wait a minute - is it one of those Mac-only things or can I use it on anything - knowing you it would probably be Mac only ...

What is Star Control 2 ??? - or is that a really dumb question

DosBox is available for every platform, the link I provided in the first post will send you to a download page.

You've never play SC2. It's one of my favorite games, and I consider it the best of its type. It's a cross beyond Astroids and a massive Sci-Fi RPG game. Well kind of. Anyways I loved it and would like to play it all the way through again.

Ah, hahaha... I only accept $, sorry, and only from non opensource projects
I doubt I could do much work on it. Busy with other projects and don't have much (any) experience writing emulators.

The project doesn't need people who write emulators, it needs people who can bind the Palm input methods to a pre-existing framework -- the heavy lifting in DOSBox was completed long ago, which is why the final bits aren't all that alluring for coders to tackle.

Also, you might want to take note of this:
http://www.emuboards.com/invision/i...ic=27399&st=105

-PalmDOSBox has been canceled, and the dev team was supposed to be working on porting QEmu instead. However, there hasn't been any activity on a QEmu port in the past year either. The source code for PDB isn't available on the sourceforge page, just the PRC (in violation of the GPL).
