Seems that MT32s have gone way up lately. They were under $100 some years back but now people want several hundred for them it seems. I had one briefly but I also had a CM-64 module which covered everything the MT32 did so the MT32 went to a friend. I suppose I should have kept it :( I'll keep my ey...

I always had whatever cheap card came with whatever computer we had at the time. Eventually we upgraded to a sound blaster 16 / awe32 of some sort. Now that I'm older, I've found a few of the old Roland devices to play around with. Some games its quite the leap from adlib/sb16 to say an MT32 or SC55...

That's been one of the trickiest parts with trying to play games of this vintage on any sort of emulator like DOSBox. You remember how a game sounded and emulated sound cards just never sound quite right. It forces me to keep the old machines running I suppose.

Powerhouse by Impressions was an awful, boring, and broken game. I loved it as a kid. For some reason the concept of supplying energy to the world by building power plants of various types with research really stuck with me. Now I work at a lab doing renewable energy research. So one might say I hav...

I played the first two Dr Brain games a lot when I was pretty young (8 years old or so) so some of the puzzles proved pretty challenging. I feel like maybe the first game was a bit harder (that programming puzzle was mad hard for me as a kid) but the second game seemed to have a lot more tedious wor...

I've played neither but I saw a reference when playing Outpost today. One of the consumer goods you can produce are Laura Bow 2 hint books. Are these games worth giving a go if you've never heard of them before?

What soundcard are you using in this video?

I think my previous post is still awaiting approval. A few more notes on getting the Mine music working correctly. If you use the MT32 emulator, the mine music seems to play fine, but the other two tables might not sound like you like with the MT32 instrument set. One workaround I've found is to use...

I dont see a dedicated sub forum for these games so I thought I'd add my little experience here. I was itching to play some 3D ultra pinball the other day and was looking for a way to get it running on a newer machine. I tried the original disc in windows 3.11 inside of DOSBox but no such luck. Next...

I discovered this forum when I was trying to get Jones in the Fast Lane to work properly on DOSBox. The installer here: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/NewSierraInstallers.html#Jones worked excellent but I ran into one issue. Voices in the game were off. A voice sample would play but it se...
