  1. Rarely on these days

  2. Rarely on these days

  3. I'm wondering which game had the first Options/Settings screen. Early games were as simple as Switch-on, Select Your level, and Play . Modern Games almost all have an Options Menu with over hundreds to choose from such as Audio, Graphics, Gameplay settings, etc.
  4. I can never understand whats so bad with Windows ME, and why ppl called it the 'Mistake Edition' it certainly beats Windows 98 SE for stability. I have Windows ME installed on my old Intel Pentium 266mhz 320MB RAM machine, and its perfect, installing WinXP over the old machine would make it too slow. I had WinME installed on that machine for over 5 years, an my OS hasn't corrupted yet, plus its comes with Windows Movie Maker just like WinXP.
  5. Thanks I got it going now, main thing I didn't know you had to press the Escape Key to continue after inserting the required disk, and theres me bashing Spacebar or Enter. Now I can play it!
  6. Thanks for the disk images, so I know I don't have corrupt copies then, because it does the same thing. I used the player disk to boot, it tells me to insert Dultipcate disk, and I think i'm in need of AtariDOS or I can't get any further, is this freely downloadable somewhere, or is this treated like a rom and can't be distributed. Because I've been trying to search for a disk image with AtariDOS or is it MyDOS and had no luck so far ?
  7. I think I'm getting a picture now, theres a ultity somewhere on the Program (boot)Disk, I guess I have to use AtariDOS or something to find it and execute it. Then use a blank disk image with it.
  8. I tried turning of Fast Disk Access on Atariwinplus, but it doesn't make any difference other than faster loading.
  9. I can seem to play Ultima II on any emulator, I don't understand. I'm using Atari800Win Plus 3.1, I boot it up, I then press P to Play a game of Ultima II, then it soon says "(Insert Player Disk)", so I click on File>Attach Disk> and I select the player disk image, but nothing happens, I can't cannot get any further than that. No sign of disk activity or nothing. I gave up on that, and downloaded the Apple II version of Ultima II using Apple IIe Emulator for windows v1.12.9.1, and I get stuck at the exact same spot, where it says "(Insert Player Disk). I insert the Utlima 2 player disk image, then press SPACE or ENTER, nothing happens... Is there some sort of combination of keys I'm suppose to press? I have pressed every key I know off on my PC keyboard and its got me stumped.
  10. I'm the opposite, I found Ghost'n'Goblins quite easy and Ghouls'n'Ghosts way too hard.
  11. I hate Steam, its such a greedily hog with my connection, I mean I got Steam installed for Half Life 2, I can play offline, but once I mistakely loaded up Steam while I was still connected to the internet, and its was initialising or something, it really needed all my connection for something, about hour later I gave up, (I had no idea what it could possibly be doing) and quit steam with the ALT CTRL SHIFT, restarted my computer, and Half Life 2 would never load again. Never played Half Life 2 again, but If I got a spare 5 hours oneday, I may re-install it from scratch, but Half-Life 2 was the biggest waste of money ive ever spent.
  12. More than enough to play the game, This is what first comes typing dxdiag and Display Devices The game runs very smooth, hardly any lag at all, I might not been getting all the speical affects because of the graphics card, just crashing every time I try to save or it the game automatically saves.
  13. I finally fixed it somehow, I can play now offline, I've never come across a game so painful to install like that. Trouble is now, my game just keep crashing or locking up every times it auto-saves, this is completely preventing any fun for this game. I can't find a way to turn auto-save off. Right now i've just given up, some error engine.dll and closes if I try running it in a window to try to solve the problem.
  14. I purchased Half-Life 2, and I had to go online, to create an account and enter my serial number and for it to download updates. So far, the game took me over 3 hours to install, but I got it going and all, and works well, trouble is I have to be online to just to play the game. Theres a box, called OFFLINE Mode, and when I click on that, it comes with error, such as could not connect to... This really bothers me having to go online just to play an offline game. I do believe it can be played offline, and should be played offline, but how... Any ideas ?
  15. Beach Head would be another No no.. Beach Head requires you to press keys 1-4 to select your skill level before you play the game, now try that with just a joystick
