This is a recording.
In addition to what you posted, I’ve also used this specifically for sierra games. Sometimes you may need an interface like Scumm. I’m mostly looking at 80s-early 90s stuff, I’m not sure how well the newer stuff on that site will work.
Also GOG, it’s nice if you need a manual.
This is interesting, and connected to the website that predates Wikipedia, https://www.aaroads.com/ ! I never really thought about the folks who ran that site, what a large amount of time and effort they have spent. And to do Wikipedia, also.
It does seem like these sort of hard rules will always come up against hard walls. There has to be some flexibility it seems.
Wow, big memory trip! It was os/2 warp, I saw that package and knew it!
Dad worked for IBM in the 70s, no surprise. I also remember him having an OS box with a penguin on it but I don’t believe he ever installed it. ~95ish.
This is funny because 2008 is also when I got stuck on it. Interesting read, thanks for sharing!
Gosh my dad ran that in the early 90s. Was that Linux? He was then and still is a Microsoft person.
I tried this for the same reasons about ten years ago (college, free, etc) and found it to be essentially an insurmountable challenge. It's a bummer since they support Linux in other ways.
Maybe it is easier now.
I can’t believe this King of Kong dude is still around, holy cow what a butt.
