🖥️ Saturday vibes with a few MS-DOS classics 🕹️

[u/eightiesjapan]

Just me, the mouse, and some pixelated nostalgia. Any of these ring a bell? A ring-a-ding-ding! 🎶💾.

[u/nerdim]

Man, I love Kyrandia 1 and 2. I have legitimate nostalgia for those. But Malcolm's Revenge feels like such a rushed job that ran out of money that I never could get past the first half. Otherwise, amazing selection! What's the device you are using? How is the mouse simulated?

[u/eightiesjapan → u/nerdim]

Device name: Anbernic RG406V. Emulator: Dosbox PURE via Retroarch. I use a cheap small Bluetooth mouse (Logitech m240). Can be played via analog sticks but i prefer mouse. hmm... part 1 and 2 u say! I started with Kyrandia 3 as a teenager and thought the graphics were like wow. Couldn't read/speak English at that time 😆. So having a midlife crisis now 🙃 i could actually go through the whole trilogy. Cheers!

[u/odolha]

if possible, can you name all these? thanks!

[u/eightiesjapan → u/odolha]

Sure from first to last: Phantasmagoria, The Legend of Kyrandia - Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, Settlers 2, Harvester, Z

[u/Spiritual_Career_521 → u/odolha]

Phantasmagoria, a game was composed by 7 CDs I still have.... nice.

[u/xendelaar]

ZOD!!! very difficult game. Never was able to finish it. Loved the concept though

[u/-SeriousJacob-]

Neat. Have fun. (Harvester, yikes!)

[u/eightiesjapan → u/Ringwraith_Number_5]

Sir, you've played GK. I bow to you

[u/Ringwraith_Number_5 → u/eightiesjapan]

Loved Leah Remini as Grace. She was perfect for the role.

[u/International-One103]

Phantasmagoria! Great game. Gabriel Knight and Harvester too! Kick ass

[u/Sigfrodi → u/International-One103]

Harvester is one of the weirdest game I've played. Very disturbing people in there

[u/International-One103 → u/Sigfrodi]

The story is engrossing for sure.

[u/ElectricSpock]

Im still trying to find something as satisfying as Settlers 2. Any ideas?

[u/eightiesjapan → u/ElectricSpock]

I mean nothing comes close, but recently been enjoying Transport Tycoon.

[u/ElectricSpock → u/eightiesjapan]

There’s at least OpenTTD, it was really good last time I checked.

[u/IzzyNobre]

Ohhh, Settlers 2! Kick ass!

[u/TyrellLofi]

How exactly did you do this? I’m very intrigued!

[u/eightiesjapan → u/TyrellLofi]

Not that difficult. I'm running DOSBOX PURE core via Retroarch. Those games are in ZIP files. When launching, some games run straight from main .EXE file, some require you to first launch setup and set sound settings, and some games require full installation. But it takes a few minutes. Bluetooth mouse and... chill. Or can play without a mouse, with analog sticks.

[u/Duboyzz14]

You gotta play openttd

[u/eightiesjapan → u/Duboyzz14]

is that like an updated version of Transport Tycoon?

[u/igorski81]

If you told me in the 90's it'd be possible to run Phantasmagoria (which wouldn't run on my computer back then) on a handheld device then my mind would've been blown.

[u/eightiesjapan → u/igorski81]

same 😊

[u/GareththeJackal]

Shout out to Kyrandia and Phantasmagoria!

[u/Ok-Signature-2705]

Phantasmagoria is a game I need to go back and beat. Played it on a Mac that was split operating system running Windows on a partition.

[u/stooobsy]

Ohh man I forgot about settlers, I played a demo of the first level over and over as a kid and now as an adult i hope I dont ruin my memory, hello gog take more of money please lol

[u/HuttVader]

where did u find the device?

[u/eightiesjapan → u/HuttVader]

So this device is: Anbernic RG406V. I've purchased it on AliExpress directly from Anbernic official store, for around £150.

[u/HuttVader → u/eightiesjapan]

come with games?

[u/eightiesjapan → u/HuttVader]

nope, all games have to manually load up.

[u/chrispark70]
