Another wonderful bonus is that when the CD is put into a music player, skipping the first "track" then leads to track of the vocal songs throughout the game...which I, ah, probably still have in my iTunes library decades later~TJF588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-30871545415030202682017-09-05T23:14:17.220+01:002017-09-05T23:14:17.220+01:00Using Daum with Output=direct3d seems to resolve i...Using Daum with Output=direct3d seems to resolve it so I guess I'll just go with that.

Looking at your stuff as examples has got me started in the right direction so hopefully I can get myself sorted on the stuff I'm interested in. Guess I'll need to try W95 next.<br /><br />I've actually got Burn:Cycle running now, but I've run into an issue with weird flickering/flashing whenever it starts the transition to a new FMV sequence - it's just a split second but it happens basically any time it starts a new animation, so it's pretty annoying. I've tried changing the output renderer, the CPU core, cycles, nothing's worked so far. It's still playable, but it's bothersome. If you mess around with it and come up with a way to resolve that, let me know.<br /><br />Thanks again for all your work!Zombeavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-14422019942556669492017-09-05T17:35:44.171+01:002017-09-05T17:35:44.171+01:00That's good news!

Out of those three you suggested, I reckon Burn Cycle will be the most likely to appear (I've played it before) but don't discount the other two. They're now on my request list.Biffman 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163763573158975266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-67720415158453395532017-09-05T06:06:14.049+01:002017-09-05T06:06:14.049+01:00I'm happy to report that I spent a little time...I'm happy to report that I spent a little time "reverse engineering" your setup for The Dark Eye and got Panic In The Park installed and running well!

I guess I'm just going to have to break down and teach myself how to do a 3.1/95 instance within DOSBox.<br /><br />If you get happen to get some free time and want some other ideas, here are a few games you might be interested in:<br /><br />Biosys <br />Burn:Cycle <br />Panic In The Park Zombeavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-77449736925748612952017-09-05T00:18:01.000+01:002017-09-05T00:18:01.000+01:00That sadly means I won't include it on the sit...That sadly means I won't include it on the site.

This isn't one I'm familiar with; reminds me a bit of a children's book I loved as a kid (but can't remember the name of for the life of me) about these little troll-looking people that were really gross (the book was about hygiene).<br /><br />Any chance of seeing Logical Journey of the Zoombinis? That was my favorite edutainment game as a kid, along with Math Blaster Episode 1: In Search of Spot.Zombeavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-26541966125463797052017-08-31T18:46:33.961+01:002017-08-31T18:46:33.961+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064534811962095029noreply@blogger.com
