DosBox? Does that make Dos games work on shitty XP, which decided that it didn't need to support its own operating system anymore after 15 years?
I got a Tyrian itch that needs fixin'...
What are you playing?

Yup, Dosbox provides the survival of older titles that stubornly refuse to run on modern systems. Tyrian included.

Sadly the in game politics have diswaded myself from forming a kingdom on aegis, so I can't post any aid to Kirby 45 (curse you in character morons). anyone else playing the game is more than welcome to my vassal support however.

well...no, I actually never played the first game! which seems strange, but I was told that you could play the 2nd one like that and still understand it, which is sort of true.
Ive started playing Devil May Cry 3.

I sad to say that I've just wasted over an hour beating slade's highscore on space invaders. I feel no happiness at having achieved my goal.

That's sort of how I felt when I got the high score on the Brick game.

True, the half jamician hot dog vendor's voice is enough to inspire nightmares. But in what other game can you waste an entire day practicing kung-fu at the parking lot, blow all your money at the arcade, and rescue a lost kitten?

I'd be playing Psychonauts right now as I type this, but apparently there's some kind of installation error...
