Hooray for Dosbox! 11/05/2017, 04:55:41

Peter2 writes: I haven't been able to play World of Xeen (i.e. MM4 and MM5 on the same drive) for years, because the DOS shell on my old (and now defunct) computer didn't have enough low memory to cope. However, I installed Dosbox, and I've just completed Clouds of Xeen. The only flaw in the game was that the Thieves throne in the northern sphinx refused to confer the "Prince of Thieves" title on my dwarf ninja I'm having to take a break for work just now, but I've started on the Darkside, and Castleview has been cleared. To be continued . . .

Wonderful news. Enjoy! (n/t) - Bones ( Sun 05-Nov-17 22:15:37 ) +1 Thanks, Bones I am enjoying it, believe me! - Peter2 ( Mon 06-Nov-17 05:13:11 ) +1 I'm glad it works for you! - Ramillies ( Fri 10-Nov-17 08:44:50 ) +1 Many thanks! - Peter2 ( Fri 10-Nov-17 19:13:01 ) +1 No, sadly he passed away before I came. - Ramillies ( Sat 11-Nov-17 12:40:12 ) +1 These days, time really does fly by. - Peter2 ( Sun 12-Nov-17 05:51:33 ) +1 Yes, that would match. I came somewhen around 5-6 years ago, IIRC. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Sun 12-Nov-17 06:44:14 ) +1 I'm one of the older hands, although not the oldest - Peter2 ( Sun 12-Nov-17 17:41:59 ) +1 My own arrival also required a less expensive version of the Internet, and probably occurred the same general time as Peter2's arrival. I had a problem that the Finnish Bear helped me with. NT (n/t) - The Kiwi ( Sun 24-Dec-17 08:53:43 ) +2 Hi Kiwi – good to see you're still around (n/t) - Peter2 ( Mon 25-Dec-17 04:30:01 ) Great to see you in the Tavern, Kiwi ... and great to know that you're still out there hacking, slashing, casting and shooting. (n/t) - Bones ( Mon 25-Dec-17 09:20:10 ) +1 Not real certain what it is that draws me to look this place up this time of year. Between Bethesda and Bioware both tying on all their games with unpleasant requirements, only CD Projekt Red's games halfway appeal to me any more! I was only 58 years old when I stumbled into the forerunner to this place, still middle aged. Happy to be remembered! Best Wishes, friends! NT (n/t) - The Kiwi ( Mon 25-Dec-17 09:37:27 ) PLaying Rool of Radiance (for the first time!) through DOSBox now. How good?!!!!! (n/t) - Ossie ( Sat 25-Nov-17 21:09:36 )
