GOG, Good Old Games

[Quillan]

I can't say about Vista, but I have been able to run System Shock II and Fallout under Windows XP.

Agreed That was a damn good game. I was the only one I knew who could play it, all others just felt dizzy and couldn't understand how I knew where to go.

Good news. Interplay are currently developing Descent 4.

I now have Secret of Mana on the Wii through Virtual Console. Likewise Dragon's Curse (Wonder Boy III, renamed), Super Mario 64, Ys 1 and 2, and Super Metroid.

On DOSBox for the PC, I have TIE Fighter CD up and running (with a lot of help from a SW freak friend), flight yoke and all. The only problem is I can't get it to run with any sound.

I have Lemmings, Möbius, and Beneath a Steel Sky running.

I have Ultima Underworlds 1 and 2 on the disk but can't get them running.

Oh, I also got the original Civilization running on DOSBox. I'm going to try to beat my all-time high score of 286%, which I got back in 1995.

Alin, I have tried to play Beneath a Steel Sky, but I don't understand it, the interface is a bit weird. I love adventure games, but I just couldn't get the feel of this one.

Also, are the puzzles hard? I had a really troublesome time with that game.. frustrating

The game does have a bit of "click on just the right pixel or you won't get the right result" syndrome at times. But by and large it was a lighthearted take on the "1984 Big Brother" type of story of a future dystopian society.

The Anchor travel shop was awesome, I couldn't believe they let the banner ad stay in the game.

Beneath a Steel Sky was great - one of the earliest graphical adventure games with a strong story.

Conquest of the New World is the only one there that interests me. But I still got my original CD so...... meh.

BUBBLE BOPPLE!!!!1111eleven1111!!!

(for Wii Virtual Console)

Bubble Bobble, i think it is called... we once had the arcade machine for a party in our students home (and i played through it on the C64 with a buddy, back in the day - still have the tune in my head).

JA2 - Well, ´Unfinished business´ is not anywhere as good as the original JA2 - it´s very linear and if you played the original, the voices of the mercs are different as well (at least in the german version), which kills quite a deal of atmosphere. It would range somewhere in the 60´s (out of 100) for me.

For Zaxxon or Archon, i would recommend any c64-emulator, like CCS64 for example. They run quite hassle-free in my experience.

Bubble Bobble, a great game.

Does the virtual console have the speedup function that the SNES emulators have?

[Alinestra Covelia]

Not that I've found, no.

I also have TIE Fighter CD running with sound now on DOSBox. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
