Jaqie Fox Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Nice lineup! I never played descent, but I played terminal velocity. I actually got Descent3 from a vidcard purchase long ago but never tried it.Which duke nukem was your favorite? I loved 2 but 3D was a bit...nasty at times. (can you imagine a woman playing that game? I did and liked...most of it, just parts made me wanna hurl.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqie Fox Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 I think I know what you are talking about. I saw it in passing once on a client's system way back when DOS was king. It was named "summer games" or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepoluan Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah, for emulation I tend to use DosBOX. it's free and works well.DOSbox runs all my MicroProse games real well. Even got Roland MT-32 emulation (after copying the MT-32 ROM files). But for LucasArts games (plus some others), better to run using ScummVM.Hey, ScummVM's site will even point you to a free SCUMM-based game!
