Yea Automenu forever!

I was thinking of building a text-based app launcher for Pandora that mimics Automenu, so that loading DosBOX would appear pretty seamless.

Just thinking of, mind. I'll never actually get around to doing it!

@Lafazar That is awesome that Master of Orion would be released on good old games. Microprose is one of my favorite publishers. I was not aware of GOG publishing any of their games. It would be sweet if they did.

Well, like they Promised, GOG have re-released Master of Orion 1+2 and Master of Magic is in their upcoming games list, so that will definitely be released, too.

Now excuse me, I'm gonna go and play Outcast again and see if it still holds up.

GOG is the best thing to happen to classic gaming since sliced bread.

Edit: ... aaand the site just went down. These games seem to have generated a lot of interest. Doing a countdown to the release might not have been such a good idea by the GOG staff, in retrospect.

Edit 2: Holy cow, they're gonna re-release Blood! Didn't see that until now.

Woah Janitor Joe and flightmare.. add a 3Demon and I'm in old school shareware flashback heaven.

Woah Janitor Joe and flightmare.. add a 3Demon and I'm in old school shareware flashback heaven.

Yeah I could toss 3Demon in there, too. But yeah, Janitor Joe was my first dos game, the theme song still sticks in my head sometimes. Got it with the computer... and Flightmare was awesome for the time... I remember being that I was a kid it took me a while to understand how the "3D" worked with the two 2D views.

Full Throttle

fix'd

 

[WizardStan]

I -love- you!

Although this version seems somewhat more sophisticated than the version I remember playing. Perhaps it's a later release... or perhaps my memory is just not so good - it was some 16 odd years ago!

Found them! You can download the complete collection for $20
Seems a bit of a rip off, considering I just want the one game now (thanks to you! Stop triggering my nostalgia!)

[mrdremel]

anyone remember Jones in the fast lane?

Oh come on....I had that running on the GP2X. Ran pretty good by the way.

A very, very cool game. Best thing is that you can do it turn based with another person.

I used to play this game a lot with my girlfriend. Will play it again once I get the Pandora. The 2X's lack of a touchscreen (I have a mk2) makes it annoying to play.

Dungeon Keeper.

Erm... what?

 

[Nupfi]

Full Throttle would most likely play much better with ScummVM than DosBox.

 

[cosurgi]

my top DOS games:

UFO
system shock 1
elite2
moonstone
armour-geddon
arena
adom
warlords
warcraft
stunts
princess maker 2
another world
MTV (mad TV)

 

[Beholder]

Princess Maker 2? Sounds like my kinda game. (just now read the wiki)

Nobody is going to play the Leisure Suit Larry games?

Just wanted to give a heads-up that Master of Magic was just re-released on GOG.

The GOG release already uses DOSBOX and MOM will apparently run fine on Pandora:

MAster of MAgic is pretty playable in current DosBox on Pandora (so can onyl get better as it gets more tuning.)
