My god has it been hot this past June. The 40°c heatwave that blasted throughout the U.K. has been incredible, and there's another one on the way in a matter of week (if any of the reviews end up being late, this is why)! So, get away from the heat and into some air con (if you're lucky enough to have it) and play some old video games.
And as it's feeling like desert heat out there, why not visit an actual one in the historic adventure Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh (1997 Réunion des Musées Nationaux, Canal+Multimedia & Cryo Interactive Entertainment). Cool down in some high seas before going on a pillage with the strategy game Cutthroat: Terror on the High Seas (1999 Hothouse Creations & EIDOS Interactive). If ancient Egypt or the Caribbean isn't your thing, how about a trip to Europe in the mysterious adventure game The Watchmaker (2002 Trecision SpA & Got Game Entertainment LLC). And for the action-hounds, we have the action-heavy helicopter sim Hellfire Zone (1995 Absolute Entertainment Inc. & Gametek (UK) Ltd.) or the hovercraft first-person-shooter Rapid Assault (1995 GTE Vantage Incorporated & IBM Corporation).
As for the ongoing update project, there's three to talk about this month. The PC version of the classic puzzle game ZooCube ZQ has been updated for compatibility with Windows 11, as has Spider-Man 2: Activity Centre. Among other upgrades, Shadow of Destiny has had its speed problem fixed thanks to some tweaks to the updated dgVoodoo config. Visit their game pages or the Game Updates section for more information.

Interesting mix of games, a rare month where I didn't play or have extensive knowledge on any of these titles except Cutthroats.
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing with the update project, all this multi-tasking must keep you quite busy haha! On a positive note, it's so hot outside that at least you get to stay inside and comfy.
Found this because I was looking for an ISO for a game I have on CD because my CD drive on the gaming desktop is on the fritz. We have toddlers and wanted to install some games me and my husband played as kids and found this and 10/10 amazing. I had gotten some from Abandonware, but some didn't work. You're doing the lord's work my friend. I saw just about every game I played as a kid on here. I didn't see the Barbie games, specifically the Barbie Detective game (1998) and I wondered if you could try and upload that? I can get it to boot through DOS Box, but have issues with the audio.
ReplyDeleteI also saw you put 101 Dalmatians Escape from DeVil Manor up, so I'm going to try that soon, as I have NEVER been able to get that past the initial loading screen via DOS Box, so crossing my fingers!
Sorry to hear that. Still you are fortunate to live in Europe. In the South Asia ins some cities the temperature may rise to 50 C. But hoping and praying for you that may God have mercy on everyone and send rain there and everywhere where temperature is high. Amen.
ReplyDeleteBit of news but it seems Good Old Games (GOG) will be re-releasing both Ecstatica games and Dark Earth very soon.
ReplyDeletePOOL OF RADIANCE as well!
