I have no problem in obtaining the rom i want for any system, but Im not allowed to give you the link, cause it suppose to be illegal. Maybe try a little harder than this...

Legend of Kryrandia is a huge epic of an adventure and I knew on the Amiga is spanned about 13 disks! Even though I used a walkthur (evil me ), it was silly changelling and exciting enough, and I dont think I quite actually finished it. I thought the amtosphere was fantastic. Althought it probably got a few of the puzzle ideas from Kings Quest. I gonna go back to Legend of Kryrandia - Hate of Fate tonight, I cant wait! I remember completing Monkey Island 2 with a walkthur. Thats was another Epic of an adventure, used a walkthur, It was so funny and clever, I ended up in completing that game 3 times !

Gyruss seems like a big flickering game, then again on Z26 and Stella it flickers.

I didnt know the game was in 3 Parts, but Hand of Fate definately rings a bell so it was that one ! I didnt realise Ive been playing a sequel to Fables & Friends (havent seen that game yet) though

LEGEND OF KYRANDIA! Thats it !! Thanks guys !! I loved the story to that game, and the music was awesome! Now I can finding go and download it and play it again !!

There is this mouse driven adventure game that came out in the early 90s that I wish i knew the name off. What i can remember, its was like the Scumm adventures (Monkey Island. Simon the Sorceror, etc) More like Loom style game. but it had no verbs on the bottom of the screen as you click within the adventure screen instead. (walk-around adventure of course) As far as I can remember this adventure was released for the Amiga and PC You started out in or nearby in this huge treehouse in the wildness. I remember a bridge in this adventure too with someone working nearby it that you had to cross. Does anyone know what adventure game im talking about that was released for the Amiga/PC ?

hmmm I had no probems with display off DOS stuff using Windows 98. I posted a simular thread to yours here once - http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23893 and MAME is obviously done by the same authors of MESS, and ive noticed some work and others not.

Thats right, Instead of 1 pixel of a time, Pitfall used 1 screen at a time instead. So really Super Mario Bros and Pac-Land would be "improved" clones of Pitfall.

I see what your getting at. What OS are you using. There are SOME DOS Games/Emulators that I want to run in Windows ME but the display is all messed up. I bet you MAME DOS wont display probably either, just like MESS DOS. Ive given up long ago how to try to fix this as changing resolutions dont work, all I can say are these 3 options. 1. Continue and just get used to the messed up display in DOS (Some other resolutions arnt as messed up as others) 2. Download the windows32 MESS version. 4. Install a new OS that better for DOS Applications.

My guess is that no one could really say what was the first Hortizonally scrolling game as some early games used sprites moving from left to right to create the illusion of horizitonal scrolling when reallty you were stuck in the same spot only. i believe Vertical Scrolling games came before true hortizonal ones did, lets say River Raid as the first vertical scrolling game.

Jungle King That dates back to 1982! So now i know that Atari's Jungle Hunt is cloned from the Arcades. You could hardly call it a platform game, yet it does scroll. Althought this could be the first hortizonal scrolling game!

Umm Pitfall! the first scrolling platform game, nah maybe the the first Multi-Screen Platform game, but then didnt Donkey Kong have 2 or 3 screens. Maybe Pitfall 2 was the first Scrolling Platform game. I didnt think of that !

Hmm I used to think it was Donkey Kong that started Platform games? So it was Space Panic that inspired the making of Donkey Kong? Actually Ill like to know, what was the first Scrolling Platform game? Was it Super Mario Bros, or Pac-Land ? Actually I far as I remember, Pac-Land was the first Scrolling platform game Ill had ever seen and I was impressed. But maybe it was Super Mario Bros, that later games like Fire and Ice, Cool Spot, Chuck Rock, was insprired upon.

I know now, and I now know I aint funny afterall. I just was playing around with MESS last nite (Multiple Emulator Super System), and theres a lot of systems ive never heard of before. How much disk space does MESS take up if you wanna to add all the BIOS ROMs into the Bios directory, so all the system will work? The APEXC says it was a system designed in 1957. I had a look at that, it seems modern looking for 1957, althought all I saw was a white screen with confusing number codes or something to press. There couldnt possiblly be games for that system.

Not only pop-ups, but that http://www.2600prog.cjb.net/ link also tried to put Gator spyware on your PC... I rather stick with http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=31 for my easy access to this forum!

Ive only downloaded MESS once and as far as I know, and didnt like it much becauses its messy emulimations of systems, its like a frontend with all the popular systems in one. Expect you need to obtain the ROMs and Games, etc. But yes as far I know it is like MAME as far as the startup screens go. obviously xulchris would know more about this. Im gonna download MESS 0.70 now, and try it out again. Does anyone know what MESS stands for as MAME is Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, i think.

Funny actually, MESS is up to .70, and also MAME is up to .70 Either this is .70 week or there a competition going,

Kids today i think would be spoiled in video gaming. If we tell them, our video games were a single screen all the time with only 3 lives. They must think... gee they must of been bored as hell playing them. Funny enough we werent bored actually.

I was never disappointed in Pac-Man when I was a kid on the Atari 2600. It was a game you got bored off quickly but I got motivated to play it again and again now and then. Maybe because I could never afford to play the Arcade Pac-Man in the early days. And funny enough, ET was one of my favourite games. Sure it was a bit complicated in your first few games. But there was lots to explore in it. and kept me happy for hours. It not until recently I hear the Pac-Man and ET were the 2 worstest games for the Atari 2600.

Right. And take even a supposedly "simple" game like the original Space Invaders.. you can never emulate the mirrored translucent playfield floating over the lit cardboard background, and the echoey bass reverberating through the wood cabinet. I know know it should be obvious, but especially for younger players who've never seen the real thing, it's important to note how Mame, awesome as it is, often times understandably can't match the real deal Wow! Cool!.. No wonder y we use to play money to play these! Its beats my 2 MAME versions.

This is getting even worse!! I hope this fixes itself in a few hours. Right now this is very bad for business!

MAME is not as the old real ones though. Maybe playing them sitting down at your keyboard on an upright monitor was they werent designed to be played as. And games like After Burner, They will never be able to emulate the moving realistic Cockpits!

I have to use 2 nintendo Emulators JNES and VirtualNES. Both are as good as each other. If one game doesnt work on JES then VirtualNES it will, and vice-versa.

I love the good old PCs FPS!! My favorites would have to be Duke Nukem 3D, Rise of the Traids, Blood, and Blood 2. (not to mention Redneck Rampage) Once thing I dislike about Doom is that you cannot look Up or Down in this. And I couldnt get into the Quake series, as too many people raved on about it too much as (The best computer game ever!!!), and all the others games before Quake seemed to have been forgotten as put away and we all brought faster PCs just to play Quake as the maximum resolutions! Obviously the difference to Duke Nukem 3D and Quake was Duke Nukem used "sprites" as their actors while Quake went a step further using wire-framed textured graphics for their actors giving them a big plus in realism.

I think I found it here... Oregon Trail here but they named it as Oregon http://web.externet.hu/sk/c64/ If you have no luck getting it in this thread I would go to... http://www.lemon64.com/forum/ and ask there as this community are very expert on C64 software/games.
