CyningstanEver since I saw this Q&A about "LCD mode" I've wanted to implement it in my games. My #hp100lx has the feature built in, but some #msdos #cga portables like the Amstrad PPC and the Psion MC don't. But I realised it's more complex than just inverting all the graphics as you load them. You have to make sure, for instance, that you don't invert software sprite masks, since they're working on logic rather than just aesthetics. https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/305318/what-was-lcd-cga-graphics-mode

DimaLinkWinoFly β a selection of music, sounds, and special moves
WinoFly is a fun game about flies. It's in the style of Windows 3.11. And it has sprite graphics. Kind of kawaii. But only Windows 3.11 has a 256-color palette. There's a white background. And funny sprite objects. Like flies flying around.

Level 3 of Conveyors goes back to the dual chamber theme, with a one-way conveyor belt journey between them. But this time there's a robot in each chamber, so the robot in one chamber can start sending the data cards down to the robot in the other. It's possible that the first robot's work is complete before the second one makes a start. You can get #TeamDroid from https://cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The Retro Timer πΎI distinctly remember seeing the box art for "Beneath a Steel Sky" (1994) in catalogues and supermarket brochures. I don't know exactly what its minimalist sobriety made me think the game would be like, but it didn't quite match what the game actually was once I first played it.
Still memorable though.
I first played through "Beneath a Steel Sky" (1994) over a decade after its release. The game felt retro at the time, but doesn't feel any older 20 years later.
It's an adventure game set in a dystopian future, in Australia (a popular location for dystopian futures). It's also a more serious game than what you'd get from LucasArts, but still humourous often enough (as adventure games should be).
The voices don't always match the text exactly, which can be annoying.
Serene π¦I'm playing one of the best and most underrated computer games of all time. Noctis IV. On MS-DOS.
DesertFOXI'm checking out the original Wing Commander Deluxe Edition CD-ROM, I recently found on the Internet Archive's redump library. This one lets you make a dedicated data disk for your savegames.
I ran this on my virtual Compaq Deskpro 386/25MHz without any modification or issue using the latest 86Box v6.0 Beta.
