Reminiscing of the days gaming under DOS, Win9x and long dead genres... - by EvaUnit02

If I remember correctly, the 1999 remake of TIE Fighter does have both expansions. LucasArts basically ported the TIE Fighter missions and campaigns to the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter engine. Note that the remake plays the same redbook audio tracks that XvT uses rather than the original's dynamic MIDI score.
As for DOS games, my first real game was the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game. Good fun, and I didn't even have the CD-ROM edition which featured the original cast's voice overs.
Yeah Star Trek 25th was good fun except that last mission where you can't beat it unless you beat all the other missions with the highest rating. That was pretty lame.

I had Terminator Rampage, another Terminator FPS which had a cool plot of having you collecting pieces of equipment all over Skylab's offices so you could piece together the ultimate weapon. It was some sort of laser cannon if I remember right. It was ruined by
extreme difficulty, but maybe I just sucked at it. I should drag my disks out again and try it. I haven't played it since the 90s.

How well does Future Shock run under Dosbox?

I dunno why, but that terminator looks kinda like it's happy to see me.

Runs really smooth for me.

DosBox is pretty good although it did annoy me with some of the Dos games I have. Some of the more demanding ones like Crusader:No Remorse and Duke Nukem 3D are really slow and increasing the Cycles makes them too fast or distors the audio.

Why the fuck are you using DOSbox for Duke3D when you could be using (

I'm trying to get Skynet to work in Dosbox, but it's somewhat choppy, and although my computer is definitely beefy enough to allocate a million or so cycles to it, the game stutters when I allocate more cycles even though it's never more than 40% of the processor power.

Yeah EDuke is great and there's mods for it like 3D models and high-res textures. I wouldn't use the 3D monsters though. They look crude/cheesy/out of place.
