Hello, I've been searching for an old game for I had (prob a demo).
It's an isometric view of a field of standing thin pyramids. You are a blue pyramid 'on the side' trying to clear out the field by shooting fire balls, while avoiding crashing into the. You are also hunted by other red pyramids shooting fireballs
I think it's a clear the stage kind of game, repeating with increasing difficulty, like more enemies or more resistant pyramids. At the time I remember it looked like all the pyramids were made of colored paper.
Can't really find a match searching for any of keywords....
Is there a benefit to ripping to bin/cue if there is only one data track and no copy protection, and not iso?
I know that a TON of people love Master of Magic, and it holds a bunch of nostalgia for many. But putting nostalgia aside, is it worth learning in 2025... maybe there is a modern alternative that captures the same flavor, but with modern QoL improvements?
For comparison, I've always loved Master of Orion, and I've replayed the original countless times... plus many of its grandkids. And lately, I've been enjoying Precursors of the Remnants.
But MOM looks a fair bit more complex. Is it just an early Civ alternative? If so, perhaps I'll just accept that I never played it.
So I'm gonna install MS-DOS on my laptop for shits and giggles, and I also wanted to run Doom on it before installing another OS. The problem is, I of course do not have a floppy disk with Doom, neither do I have a floppy disk drive. Is there any way I could put Doom on an USB and have MS-DOS read that USB and play the Doom executable on it?
So I'm making a remake of the game hover! 1995 in unreal engine 5, would anyone be interested? I'm trying to make it as similar to the original as possible. My fiance is making the music (we're trying to make it retro too).

There's a preview :D!
Hey all,
I actually recently set up SQ3 on my old Tandy 386 computer running MS DOS 5.0
The game was running perfectly fine until midway through the game it started to crash every time I would enter certain rooms.
I don’t believe it’s related to corrupted files. I actually ran the same files onto my laptop and the game worked just fine in those same parts of the game. So I’m getting the feeling it’s a configuration issue with my system.
So far, I’ve tinkered around with all settings possible on config, autoexec. I’ve adjusted memory usage settings, turned off other drivers, and still am having the same issue. I don’t think it’s a hard drive issue since other games are operating just fine.
Found very little about this issue for this game Googling it up. Wasn’t sure if anyone else who’s played classic Sierra games had similar issues before?
Hello,
I've reinstalled ExoDOS (including launchbox) recently (FULL installation), and while the installation went fine, and I can find all games in the launchbox interface, when I try to install/configure/launch a game, it does ether nothing, or it opens a dosbox window with the dos prompt Z:/
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix this?
Thanks alot!!
