Have Some Star Control Videos
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to showcase both faction endings from Star Control for MS-DOS since nobody has done that over the years.
I really love the planet Earth in the Alliance ending because it looks beautiful in-game. See you space cowboys!
Some MS-DOS Fun with Star Control
I checked out Star Control this evening. It’s a a sci-fi war game where you play as either space alien faction, each with seven different alien spaceships that have their own maneuvering and firing characteristics. I decided to play Melee mode as both factions and successfully beaten the computer player twice on standard difficulty without losing any spaceships.
Crazy fun strategy game but what I don’t like about this game is that it has planets which can take away your current spaceship’s crew members until it explodes if you stay stuck on them. Other than that, I love this cool game! 🙂
I’mma Play Dead In Time Slaughter
Guess what I ran into while I was playing Time Slaughter this evening?
Wow! I made Lazarus play dead and he started attacking Chi while he’s down. I always thought that was a hilarious glitch. 😛
Time Slaughter Has Finally Been Beaten
Ladies and gentlemen, I finally managed to beat Time Slaughter as Spice with every single opponent (including bonus boss Staine and final boss Portal) killed with a slaughter move and no continues used. Hooray!
Yeah, Spice is always my favorite fighter in this bloody fun game. I also like her mirror match colors involving brown hair, blue clothes and blue lips. 🙂
Enjoy Some More Sprite Sheets
Last night I’ve been having fun with some MS-DOS games such as Poker Galore and Blackjack Plus, and I thought I’d rip two sprite sheets of playing cards that I’ve taken from both games:
Now I’m at the point where I must take a break from sprite sheeting… for now.
And now for sumthin’ completely diff’rent
I was recently in a mood to play an old DOS game called Clock Solitaire. It’s a card game where you’ve got cards forming a circle as if they’re numbers on the clock with an extra pull pile in the middle of the circle, and the objective is to complete all other four-of-a-kind sets before the fourth king is revealed in order to win the game:
I finally managed to beat the game of Clock Solitaire and I celebrated my victory by snagging all the playing cards from that game, making a sprite sheet out of them so that it can be uploaded to The Spriters Resource:
Anyways, it was a fun game but extremely difficult to win.
Playing around some Castle of the Winds
Last night I’ve been doing some Castle of the Winds in Windows 3.11 under DOSBox since it’s been a long time since I played it during the Windows XP years. Here’s a screenshot of what the gameplay looks like in the game:
So far I have made some good progress. I have journeyed my way along the highway that leads to the village of Bjarnarhaven since the village at the very beginning of the game got mysteriously burned down. I am now currently in Fortress level 4 of this game, but I’ll plan going to the fifth Fortress Level whenever I feel like playing Castle of the Winds again. 🙂
Some Old School Arcade Pool for DOS
Been playing a bit of an old DOS game that I’ve never tried out under DOSBox earlier this evening. It’s called Arcade Pool, a game where you can compete a Pool competition against other computer players and/or human players. Here’s a screenshot of what this game would look like:
All you got to do is use the left mouse button to line up the cue ball and then right click to fire away to see if any balls would go down the sinker holes until there is a winner at the end. I like how there’s different Pool games such as Custom Pool, US Open Pool, UK Open Pool, etc.
This here is a screenshot of the results made in the game of Pool that has numbers of shots made, fouls made and balls sunk down. This game is fun to play but hard to score some shots when it comes to making fouls and misses. It will now be added to my private collection of old DOS games.
B.T. the Beautiful Terrestrial
Here’s what I’ve been working on this evening. It was an 8-bit picture of E.T. but as a beautiful female terrestrial:
Playing around some Dig Dug for DOS
Last year I went to My Abandonware and found a DOS game called Dig Dug, so I decided to give this a try:
You’ll play as the dude dressed in white clothing, and you’re digging underground to destroy all Pookas (the red round monsters that wear yellow goggles) and Fygars (the green dragons that breathe fire) by blowing them up with your air pump or crushing them with large rocks:
I’d say this is a really fun DOS Game. I was thinking about playing other Namco DOS games like Pac-Man and Galaxian, but I’m gonna have to wait on that for another time. 😀
