Hey, guys.
Have a big favor to ask. I want to get the original
Master of Orion (#1) to work on my computer. I have Windows 2000 on it. I have read John Sullivan's page and pretty much everyone else's offering advice and it seems to be sound, but my comp keeps saying not enough expanded memory.
I already know these things:
1) make separate config and autoexec files in moo directory and make pif point to em
2) emm=RAM
3) dos=high, umb
4) devicehigh=c:.....himem.sys
i also rem most of the stuff in the modified autoexec. I tried not remming it and a hundred other combinations. There has to be a way to get the game to work.
I'm thinking I may need to install the original Dos 7.0 on a seprate drive to get some of my old favorite games to work. Does anyone have it?
There's a cool, custom-made wallpaper in it for ya
which contains the characters from some of the best games of all time.
These are in my opinion:
1) Star Control II
2) Start Trek Armada
3) Master of Orion
4) Alien Syndrome (8-bit Sega)
5) Space Harrier (8-bit Sega)
6) Phantasy Star (8-bit Sega; only Darkfalz still seems cool now)
7) Wing Commander II
8) X-com
9) Creature Shock
10) Thunder Force III
In no particular order. Did I leave anything out?
