Hmm.. I would imagine they're out of my ballpark also. I'm primarily a electronics hardware designer, my programming knowledge is from my youth, before college training as an electrical engineer. I totally get the busy aspect of everyone's lives though. Unfortunate, but volunteer is as volunteer doe...

That is awesome. I have hopes one day of trying my hand at something like this. Though I wonder if AGI would be easier (or harder??) .. As for the wiki.. I'm actually pretty surprised that there isn't a more comprehensive sierra wiki.. I'm a huge fan, but not nearly very knowledgeable, so my actual ...

wow!! Okay, that changes things. This little game box I want to make ... I'm going to need multiple versions.. the version I grew up with, and other "interesting" versions...

Thanks, glad to be back! As every time I return, I hope to be able to stick around a while, but I can never know the future. :( I do know that over the coming weeks I hope to FINALLY create that archive of old games that my brother and I used to enjoy. A couple years back it was going to be a USB st...

Yeah, the 5.25'' disk set. Some wonderful person actually ticked the write protect tab on the 3.5''. The version is not particularly hard to find, but I bought out all the listings on ebay so you might not find one for sale atm. Wow, how many did you buy??? And are you just re-listing them after yo...

I doubt I have anything to add here, except I would love to be party to this effort also. I don't even know how to find some of these version details that y'all are looking for. But I can try!

Sierra AGI CPC Disk Protection Condensed from a thread on Sierra Gamers Credit goes mostly to NewRisingSun [..SNIP...] The best modern solution is to use Cold Turkey's ( siastbill1 ) AGI DiskFree Decryptor . AGI DiskFree Decryptor is a modern (Win32) implementation of SUP and the AGI Decryptor. Not...

Okay awesome people .. I come to you for help! Is there a list somewhere that simply has a list of all in-game locations and a brief description? I'm thinking a page that lists either by game or alphabetical things like Daventry (KQ), Arcada (SQ), etc, each with a brief description, possibly a scree...

I have noticed even on newer machines, that DOSBox requires quite a bit of processing power to properly emulate these old machines.. I think it's just down to emulation overhead that doesn't apply to "native apps" like word and firefox.. That said, if even running MS Word makes your system...

I have always heard of wysiwyg in reference to HTML, not plain documents. For a word processor, I do prefer Word, especially since the docx format. As a child of the 80's and TRS-80 and 8088's, wysiwyg was a big deal when it came to Microsoft platforms. Growing up with DOS, we used LEWP (leading ed...

Hmmm, funny-- when I think wysiwyg editors, I don't think about webpage creation! I'm thinking users manuals, reports, and the like. I'm beginning to feel like a fish out of water in this conversation now. I never intended to imply that I thought MSWord (or Libre Office) had its place in web content...

NP++ is awesome, I use it too.. but sometimes you just need a wysiwyg.. And when you do, Word works pretty well. LibreOffice is coming along very nicely, it's pretty great, but the interface is still a bit clunky (it feels like Word 95), and not particularly responsive at times..

You say that like it is a bad thing.

I've been using Word since Windows 3.0 ... While it has it's moments and limitations, it's still pretty good.. What do you use?
