I don't think I've had any emulation problems with DOSBox, and I've used it a lot the past two years or so. Just make sure to use something like D-Fend Reloaded, especially if you're going to play more than one game.

MonkeyforaHead posted:I'm 99% certain is the original, Apogee DOS-based version. Just with some weird license changing and optional HQ2X scalers or some crap. Apparently it's not; it's the Windows version, with issues such as only being able to move at half speed when using keyboard controls and not being able to move to the right edge of the screen with mouse controls. They should just have gotten the DOS-version and shoved it in DOSBox.

AxeManiac posted:What? Is this worth the trade off for higher resolutions? It should be perfectly playable using the mouse, but if you're like me and prefer the keyboard, it's not. The higher resolutions don't really mean anything since the sprites are the same size; rendering it at the highest resolution in DOSBox makes it look at least as good, though I guess the GOG version does widescreen.

C-Euro posted:I'm looking to get Two Worlds when I finally pick out a new laptop, and it looks like Two Worlds off GOG isn't compatible with Windows 7 (which my laptop will most likely be). I also know a good chunk of their games don't work on 7 yet, is there a timeframe for changing that? Or is there some sort of "XP/Vista Compatibility" mode in 7? I admit I know almost nothing about it... I haven't had any problem with any of the GOG games I've played on my W7 computer (Two Worlds isn't one of them, though), but if there's a problem there is an XP compatibility mode.

The MSJ posted:Does Outcast even use the graphics card in any way? The original release was totally software rendering, wasn't it? It's still the graphics card that does all the scaling, you can usually set it up so it stretches while maintaining aspect ratio.

Party Plane Jones posted:It wasn't a Steam sale so much as being on Steam for the preorders for Defcon that allowed them to stay afloat. They got shafted by their old publisher (Strategy First) and were owed around a half million to a million for Uplink sales. That was a while back; they were saved by the latest Christmas Steam sale as well: http://forums.introversion.co.uk/in...opic.php?t=2512

Tensokuu posted:Hey guys, are there any must-have mods for Freespace 2? As long as you're using the Source Code Project, not really. You might want to install the higher quality textures, but the SCP installer can do that for you, I believe.

zedprime posted:Looks like everything is on sale except Interplay (We need every penny for the FO MMO), Activision (We're only on this GoG thing to look better than EA), and Sierra (You mean there's still people willing to pay money for Roberta's adventures?). Activision's sale will start in 3 days, though.

There's also Xenonauts, a spiritual successor to X-Com. It's looking pretty good so far, and is due out later this year.

dnz posted:Im convinced that jump was broken on psychonauts. gently caress that jump. Never finished it because of that. I do, however, love the rest of the game. I think Tim Schafer admitted on the latest Double Fine Action Cast that that jump actually *is* broken. The Meat Circus is the only reason I didn't finish the entire game in one sitting, screw that thing.

Mr. Met posted:I see that the game isn't listed as having Windows 7 support. Any reason to expect this to change in the future, or should I just skip buying the game? Since they've released the source, it's bound to get patched by the community. Get it.

Dominic White posted:Theyre still releasing brand new Wizardry games in Japan, square-based maps and all. No western publisher wants to touch them, because old-school dungeon crawlers are apparently undeniable to a western Market now. Even the Wizardry series. There's one coming out on PSN later this spring, and hopefully it won't be the last.

The front page has changed to "What game made you ride with the outlaws?" in a very Western-style font.

C-Euro posted:Yeah, I still see that and the Starcraft chest in a lot of game stores. Not that I wouldn't love to get digital copies of Starcraft and Diablo, but with so many physical copies out there I don't see it. Would be nice in the future though. Blizzard sells Starcraft digitally in their store. No Diablo 1, though.

You can connect your CD-keys with your Blizzard account, and get the digital versions that way.

Dissapointed Owl posted:So, I'm planning on playing Planescape Torment for the first time. Is there anything I should know or any mods? All the mods I found seem really out of date and a bit of a hassle. Any auto-installers or anything? Any specific way to distribute points to make sure I don't get destroyed whenever the story gets interrupted by a fight? http://www.gog.com/en/news/mod_spot...ent_mods_guide/ General consensus seems to be just to focus on charisma and maybe intelligence/wisdom. Don't worry too much about battles, since you can't actually die.

Douche Bag posted:My main problem is the Aliens always seem to get the drop on me. I'm constantly short on action points (or whatever they're called) and my soldiers get one-shotted. Do you get the option to upgrade their armor? Research Alien Alloys to get the first armor upgrade. My tip would be to keep it slow in the beginning, and save AP for reaction shots on the soldiers that are close to corners and such. Also, always use autoshot.

For Descent, it looks like the DXX-Rebirth source port does multiplayer.
