    There not alot of people in the forum much anymore?

    Well, I do believe most of us check in at least once a week. Ofcourse most of us have a life next to playing 20 year old games, and those of us who do not are busy playing 20 year old games.. :D

    Ad Ben: Sound Commander (February 13, 2017)

    FM cards could actually produce more then descent sound if you composed a score just for them. The best examples I can think of are Taito's RamboIII and the original Golden Axe. Anything beats the PC squeeker though.

    Blank Screen... HELP!!!

    Maybe he's talking about the registry entry used for enabling compatibility modes on Windows 2000SP4? That should not be needed on XPSP2 or higher versions. He's using windows 8.1, he has the compatibility setting option from the get go. I ran that OS on a laptop for a few months and had no...

    The MT-32 VS The Amiga

    Well, you have a lot of valid points, but let's not forget that software wavetable was also a thing, making it's way into later games(I'm not sure but I believe wing commander 3 actually featured digitised drums for playback, combined with FM synthesis. I replaced my FM Card for a Gravis...

    You can set other limits on rendering using software rendering agreed, but that makes the game look like it was done in the Duke Nukem 3D engine... Yes, there is a mission select cheat in SL, and also one to make to make all ships available. However I prefer the thrill of the game actually...

    About to turn 41 here, purchased the damn thing on discs 16 years ago when it came out. Did not finish the campaign without cheating until today, with a wingman to handle the second bomber wing on mission 21. You did use the settings like I advised a page back? Those should restore ALL the...

    Finished the co-op campaign within a week my old gaming buddie, ran the patches on vanilla windows 10 installations with opposite hardware(AMD(270X in crossfire) on AMD 8-core in 1440p vs Nvidia(970) on Intel 6-core in 4K), ran the game on medium difficulty, had to replay 4 missions multiple...

    The game installed and ran through ISO files I kept on my home server for all my games from the CD-scratching days... It ran unmodified, but from reading up it should not because of the Safedisc DRM. It did though... welll "I'd buy that for a dollar"... There are more inconsistencies with the...

    Well, appearantly the NOCD patch also negates the DRM issue, and is needed because Windows10 else will not be able to run the game?

    Hi, I also came across the pcgamerwiki. but I did want to avoid the starfield/nebula issue since it really does jump in the eye... I also wanted the game to look good again.. The game does support modding appareantly, but the internet dropped silent for this game as far as mods go. And the...

    Right, bumping ancient thread... Managed to get the game stable and applied some tricks to make the game look like you remember it: Running on windows 10 x64.. Like ReadyRed started out: PART 1, stabilizing the game: 1. Do a full install from cd 1 + 2 2. Download imagecfg (google: imagecfg...

    What new features would you want in a hypothetical modern Wing Commander remake?

    I just heard that in Kevin's Sorbo's voice... :D If a remake would occur, there will very likely be some influences of "these days", such as the possibility to CHOOSE the gender of the protagonist, and likely it will involve social media, selfies, etc, to make it more relatable to a modern...

    Standoff Team Releases Single Package Install (August 14, 2016)

    Reinstalled it to have a go at it again this weekend... Maybe there's some graphical glitch I'm missing. When running standoff for the first time, it appeared on my second screen, with about 2/3th of the game screen on it, and the last bit offscreen(not on my primary) I tried to solve it by...

    Independence Day 2

    I liked it, like a movie from the bottom shelf in the VHS days.. We are the US, let's just blow everything up with nukes and/or guns! the shield with the queen really did not make sense!

    FAO: Europe and the rest of the world.

    Thank you, sir. In my country that is about the size of a big city in the US, we still have local governments(My city has 7!), too many of them, they do not function, and the one who does stand out gets silenced. The EU was never intended have it's own government and decide on it's own, make the...

    FAO: Europe and the rest of the world.

    Well, refugees are not EU citizens... They want to go to the UK because your social system is actually better(or worse) then hours, and they go as far as renting boats in the Netherlands to cross the channel. And as for sweden/norway, they take the long walk around. However, trade will have to...
