- daveddd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Makes me want to build a PII machine with a viper video card. Oh and 32 mb of ram, can never have enough ram.

Cheers! - lilricky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Llayable demo, sort of like my wife, you can play with it, but its just not fulfilling... :)
- mc4_a, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Llayable? Looks like some Digg nerds are getting lucky tonight.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I've never seem a Llayable demo... must be phat.
- xhan104, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Wolfenstein 3D! SimCity!

#2 Civillization - (the one that started it all)

(I mean, who amoung us hasn't set Scorch to 1 million rounds and drank beer and played with their buddies ALL WEEKEND LONG!) - therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Another site, with a comprehensive archive of fully downloadable DOS games you used to play in the 90's!
http://digg.com/software/Abandonware_DOS_Games - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9If anybody is having RUNTIME ERROR 200 problems, check out http://www.dosgames.com/faq.php#9
Specifically, TPpatch. It's AMAZING. It'll patch the dos games and I've yet to have a problem with the 200 error since. They're all running fine on XP :) - huhwhathuh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12is llayable referring to leisure suit larry?
- Portwineboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Just press the Turbo button on the front of your PC...
- wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7There is a dosbox port for mac.
- PlJack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Dugg for Jazz JackRabbit
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6About time some of our fellow digg users got Llayed.
- wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6porkstacker, MAME emulates arcade machines.
- wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Use Dosbox to play them.
- wurzelgummage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Dosbox.
- BadAssBG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The Warcraft games are the demos, and DOOM is the shareware version
- master_of_fm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5dont forget...
http://liberatedgames.com/ - barktwiggs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Llayable demos huh? Must be Welsh or something.
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've been trying to recall a fighting game written in QuickBasic, that had the graphics files split into one file each for Red Blue and Green. It was also a few executables that passed information via the command line.
- dawtcalm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4abandonia is a better site I find... Much more thorough reviews etc...
- funksta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You can get Dosbox for the Mac- in my experience it works very well for the older games.
- marioluigi123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well, a lot of them that companies might hassle over (including the two you mentioned) are actually demos or shareware.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Legal? I know that WC1+2+Tides of Darkness and DOOM are not. id Games still sells DOOM1 and 2 for $20.....
- porkstacker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6¿Como sé Llayable?
- ElNachito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Remember to use a condom kids... Always play "Safe" with these "Llayable" Games...
- porkstacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, thanks for the dosbox mention... I hadn't been aware of it. I will surely check it out.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This is awesome! I've actually played most of these.. but forgot about them. :) Lets see how many I can get to run on XP.. :P
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The only problem is that most of these games don't have timing based on CPU speed so they're too fast to play. Anyone know how to run them as if you have a 286 or 386sx processor? Is there a 386sx speed emulator?
- kofspades, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@PhoneGuy
Don't you mean "llayed with their buddies ALL WEEKEND LONG" - baalzebub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2FreeDOS-1.0 was recently released, i am tempted to make a FAT32 partition just for FreeDOS and some of these old DOS games, since i do not have any version of MS-Windows FreeDOS should come in handy :)
- ExtremeRyno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The one game I'd love to have again is the original Nascar Racing game that came out in 94...My friends and I played that on our 9.6k modems and pwned the roads.
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The program appeared to use some sort of multiplane graphics mode and apparently the graphics were split up into three separate files with each file containing 1 plane for each color or something. There'd be three files with the same filename but one would have the extension .R, one would have the extension .G and another would have the extension .B
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2About the command line options, what I seemed to remember was something along these lines
An intro executable would run the gameplay executable with a command line option to indicate that Yes, you are really being called from the intro, and the gameplay executable would run a "You win/You lose" module with a command line option that indicated that it was really being run from the gameplay executable and whether or not to display the winning or losing routine. - BrokenBeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Aw crap. I spend ages looking for that game I played at the age of 7, and when I find it I suddenly realise it's rubbish. Now I'm depressed. Can't I be 7 again?
- oslointhesummer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Worms..anyone?!
- UrlorJkron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I rember a number of games had a "speed" setting that could be adjusted. I know OMF did.
- LordofShadows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They are demos?
- Soccer4786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hmmmm.... a game called digger
- hecatomb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sierra still owns rights to Papyrus' stuff I believe... but you can get the disc still...
http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/nascarp7pj.htm - betona, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I really loved Commander Keen back in the day, and bought all of the full versions.
Attention game coders: There are people like me who long for 2D platform games and scrolling games with the new look and feel capable from today's graphics adapters. I don't want to press 14 keystrokes to execute a spinning-backflip-somersalt-jump-kick-with-sabre-thrust. I just want up, down, left, right and maybe a fire key. That's all. I don't have hours on end to play a game--but I might have 20 minutes now and then. Thank you. - hecatomb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've been trying to find Jazz 1 as well.... you can at least get Jazz 2
http://www.abandonia.com/games/en/294/JazzJackrabbit2.htm - madhatter349, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i use to play this cool game rooms were a person had a shotgun and you would have to go threw a house and kill all the people
anybody know where i can find this - ZenKai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Tech42er:
Install yourself a copy of Llinux - UrlorJkron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well id made the source for Doom availible in 97 so I think it is safe to say that Doom can be free legally even if id continues to make it availible on CD.
- WhiskerTheMad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"anyone know where to find multiciv?"
There is an open source version called freeciv that can be "llayed" over the internet. Made for Linux, but I think they have a win version too
http://www.freeciv.org/ - sq377, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1go go gadget dosbox!
