It is basically a strategy game where opposing gangsters try to take control of the city, pretty much what today's Mafia Wars does.<br />
<br />
The game is nothing to get too excited about, but it is so silly that it makes you want to continue playing just to see what silly thing is going to happen next. Silliest of all is how much the game tries to attract you by pretending to be sexy. It actually succeeded in making me want to throw it away out of the window after a couple of minutes. Sadly, nothing interesting seems to ever happen. So I would say that Dime City deserves a short look, but don't go thinking about trying to go all the way as it won't deliver.<br />
<br />
My Abandonware has just put this rare game up for <a href="http://www.myabandonware.com/game/dime-city-2zl">download</a>, so go and give it a look. One word of warning: there are some moments where cartoon breasts are flashed around without care.Edwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731176601253989496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683522964909461886.post-19374124346147432912012-01-18T21:37:00.000+01:002012-01-18T21:37:06.090+01:00Excess!?I recently came upon this <a href="http://www.myabandonware.com/game/xs-2sa">new download on My Abandonware called XS</a>. It is a game from 1996, and to be totally honest, I have never heard about it before today. The screenshots look good enough, so I said why not?<br />
<br />
A download and a DOSBox config later, and I am looking at a game which has the weirdest aiming control that I ever saw. Move the mouse up and you shoot at the floor, move the mouse down and you hit the ceiling. I keep telling my mind to think in reverse, but I just cannot do it! That's one really freaking crazy bug in my processing circuitry!<br />
<br />
Oh I know. The XS letters in the game's title must stand for something right?<br />
<br />
Yes, excess pile of garbage. It was probably a rushed game trying to ride the network play bandwagon (read Unreal Tournament).Edwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731176601253989496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683522964909461886.post-57663853957662255582011-11-30T21:03:00.000+01:002011-11-30T21:03:11.148+01:00Hammer of the GodsI just downloaded <a href="http://www.myabandonware.com/game/hammer-of-the-gods-2n7">Hammer of the Gods from MyAbandonware.com</a>. The game can be described like a Civilization with vikings. After downloading the game and mounting the folder in DOSBox, it can be just run by typing HAMMER, and the sound set with SETSOUND. The intro is ripped off, so it's straight to the game.<br />
<br />
At first glance, Hammer of the Gods does seem to require a lot of your time to learn. It probably needs you to obtain a degree in viking management too. Hopefully, you can download the game's manual <a href="http://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/hammer-of-the-gods/docs/">right here</a>. It will explain how the game works, and you will have to start learning your strategies.<br />
<br />
Its overhead view is copied straight from the first Civilization game, and just as in the latter you found your cities, build your population, discover new land and tools, and fight your enemies. Where it starts to differ is in the battles, as the view shifts to the battlefield where you also control the actions of your heroes. The game is also split into missions which the player has to complete, so there is no chance for you to send your people into space towards a new galaxy this time.<br />

Anyway, this game requires you to dedicate some time for it before giving you its love and affection. This is not a quick fix like the usual abandoned games. By the way, it lets you play with three of your friends, so there's no need to feel lonely.Edwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731176601253989496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683522964909461886.post-25419276260267620772011-09-24T14:04:00.001+02:002011-09-24T14:04:59.643+02:00Apple Lisa XenixIt's about time that I took a look at an operating system for this blog. I'm sure that with the proliferation of today's virtual machines, many of you already took a go at installing some of the old popular OS's. However I want to link to something a bit different from a very old era from Microsoft (made for Apple hardware no less!) circa 1983.<br />
<br />
I am talking about the Xenix OS for the Apple Lisa system, which is a Unix derivative for the Motorola-powered machine.<br />

It could be described as similar to many of the PC abandonware sites, but obviously smaller. However I could count over 2300 games and 1300 Mac programs, and counting!<br />

To tell you the truth, I have never played any Mac games before, but I am going to try to get a feeling of them now. I am sure that they have a lot to offer.<br />

Usually, when I find a game, even if it is a great one, it may not appeal to everyone. So this week I found a slow paced thinker's game and a game with fast paced trigger-happy conflicts.<br />
<br />
The first game is <a href="http://www.abandonwaremine.com/?p=238">221B Baker Street</a>, hosted on Abandonware Mine. This is a competitive multiplayer game set in the Sherlock Holmes universe, where players must find clues to be the first to solve the mystery. The style is like a board game, with multiple scenarios available. The Commodore 64 version is shown below, whilst the PC version that you are going to download varies slightly in looks and setup.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The second game is the less known brother of Wing Commander, simply known as <a href="http://www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?gid=MTY2NQ==">Privateer</a>. Hosted on Abandonware Dos, this game uses the WC engine to pit you aboard your spaceship as you fight and buy your way towards being the most important person in the universe.<br />
<br />
Have a good one!<br />

In truth, this time I am not indicating any great game of old times for you to play, but rather an example of the fledgling computer community around 1989. Remember this was way before the Internet reached the masses, and one of the ways for budding developers of the time to get their programs distributed was to have their creation included in monthly disks that were released from the popular computer groups of the time. So this is a piece of personal computer history really, well preserved and ready for you to explore.<br />
<br />
Just download the file from the link above, unzip and launch GO.BAT, either by double-clicking the file or from the command line. The menu is really easy to use considering its age, so you can get around quickly and easily. However, I doubt if you can find anything helpful in this disk nowadays. As I said, this disk is for nostalgia to me and for educational purposes to those that weren't around at the time.<br />

Windows 2000 still good for stuff and runs programs that XP can't not run to mention I already have Windows 7. I can programs like iTunes,Firefox,Opera,and Virtual PC on Windows 2000. This is my tribute to Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 is still the best OS better any other classic version of Windows. In fact they make programs for Windows 98 like KernelEx a program compatibility layer for modern applications. Windows 2000 still supports USB flash drives and Firefox 4.

I did not create JFK Reloaded and did not create the song! Where were you when John F Kennedy was assassinated?" Whereas September 11th is now etched into popular culture as a defining moment of history, JFK's assassination is probably regarded as one of the 20th century's most infamous events -- especially to those who were around at the time. Being the youngster that I am, I wasn't around then, so it's not something I can relate to on a personal level. Computer games have always used historical events as their backdrop: just look at how many World War 2 themed games there are. That said, computer games generally skirt around "taboo" subjects, even if they have been visited time and time again in literature and cinema. After all, games are interactive right? So no game company wants to be branded a provocateur, after all, we've got to think of the children! Therefore it caused quite a stir, when on November 22, 2004; Scotland based Traffic Games released "JFK Reloaded" -- 3D, first-person perspective, "assassination simulator". The premise is simple enough: you (the player) are Lee Harvey Oswald, you are in the infamous book repository and you have a gun, and we all know what happens next. Or do we? According to Traffic Games, the whole point of JFK Reloaded was to help prove that there was indeed no big conspiracy, just one nut-job with a gun that got lucky. To this effect, it stays true to the actual event as <b>...</b></p>Author: mt2oo8<br/><a target='mmoout' href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-N_kAb0TLM&feature=youtube_gdata'>Link...</a>Edwardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731176601253989496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683522964909461886.post-38100474867132998782011-03-09T09:22:00.001+01:002011-03-09T09:22:44.666+01:00Play It Again, Sam: Retro Gaming Is In<p>"Bionic Commando," "Contra," "Oregon Trail" and other video game hits from yesteryear are enjoying a resurgence.
