There are a lot of great old DOS games, and many which should run great on the Pandora.
Report your success stories on the forum, maybe even here if you've got some -- give us some ideas for what to fire up ourselves
I should've made videos/screenies, but was busy fiddling in the middle of the night while my baby girl slept, so was being quiet!
Eye of the Beholder series -- play great! I've shown videos before, months ago, but for completeness thought I'd mention it.
Wizardry 6 and 7 -- flawless! (And two of the best old school RPGs around.)
Warcraft 2 -- being in SVGA does slow things down quite a bit, but with some overclocking it actually plays pretty well; with a lot of actoin going on it might slow down, but you can definately play the first couple levels (I did) in the scenario
Dune 2 -- runs great; I've not tried it in 6mo, but at the time I was using a USB mouse and fully played a few levels.
Civilization 1 -- runs flawless
Civilization 2 (DOS, not Test of Time/etc), Advanced Civ etc -- should be playable as well, but been months and I forget .. but seem to recall the right versoins were no problem, but this was the cusp when developers were switching to Windows.
Master of Magic -- at low clock runs great, but a few 'traqnsitions' (when switching between screens) slow down, so you have to run clocked up so that its playable; I didn't complete any sessions, just fired it up and fiddled around, but looks like it'd be playable.
M.A.X. -- (Mechanized Assault and eXploration) -- great RTS-or-Turn-Based game (that Inteprlay screwed over hard); looks like it'd be hard to manage with the nubs for mouse, but plays pretty god with usb mouse So with tweaking the controls should be okay.
Anyone else?
