A demo level of this ga...Holy shit this is awesome! A demo level of this game (Iowah III, I think) was included on the Windows95 CD. I spent so much time flying through all the underground caves and tunnels when I got my first computer in '96 that I knew every nook and cranny by heart. I was never able to forget this game and always wanted to play the whole game through. I finally got around to ordering a used CD off ebay in 2010 but found out to my chagrin that the video sequences didnt work with either Windows7 or Windows10, no matter how much I played around with the compatibility settings.I never had the chance to experience them, even though they tied the whole game together. With this DOS Box version I finally get to see them. I cant wait to play through this game again!<br /><br />Is there a chance we could get "A10 Tank Killer II - Silent Thunder" by Sierra with a DOS-Box ready set up version? My second favorite game but I have never been able to play it under Windows 10. It would be worth a 10€ PayPal contribution to me.mhpr262https://www.blogger.com/profile/01137073203949135327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-57346687703444315942019-06-07T22:52:22.010+01:002019-06-07T22:52:22.010+01:00Yeah, I agree. With hindsight, I think the The Dig...Yeah, I agree. With hindsight, I think the The Dig and Heart of Darkness with their still excellent art design have aged better than many of the 3D titles at the time but it was an era where specs and tech were more of a selling point than the game itself. Even consoles were warring over its bits more than its bobs.<br /><br />I still like Hellraiser though, even if its essentially the same as Fury3 which is essentially the same as Terminal Velocity. The gameplay mechanics were solid to begin with so have held up well, even if the tech hasn't. Controversial opinion but I might even prefer it over something like Quake.Biffman 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163763573158975266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-32008328381629309972019-06-07T20:03:04.082+01:002019-06-07T20:03:04.082+01:00Just to put in context, in the 90s a year old game...Just to put in context, in the 90s a year old game showed its age really really fast, and a game that took 2 years in dev was a huge risk. In 1990 256 games were all over the place, in 1993 CDROM was going strong, around 1994 SVGA was really a thing and between that year and 1997 there was a constant improvement in 3d engines, with the vertigious entrance of 3d accelerator cards. The Dig suffered a lot because of that speed, Heart of Darkness suffered a lot because of the same thing, and many games were on the verge of being cancelled or cancelled altogether.
