Re: A few tutorials on how to run old games on Win 10

Re: Civil War - A Nation Divided Doesnt Work (Video glitch)

Turn off anti-aliasing, both in game and in your graphics card's control panel (if it's forced form the driver). I had graphical glitches with this game too, but my image wasn't messed up so much, so I'm not sure if the mentioned solution will work for you, but it's worth a check. This kind of ...

Re: Download listings for non adventure/shooter genres

Thank you for supporting my idea. I was browsing the whole forum in summer, and I have found many interesting hidden uploads, but it was a pain in the *** to search for them and took me many days to dig. I regret a little that this idea didn't come into my mind earlier because I had some free time ...

I've recently found this gem on Old-games.ru. This game is an unique combination of a tactical FPS, and ... [drumroll] ... a turn-based wargame! What an unique mix! There is a RIP version on Old-games.ru, and a bunch of screens.

Re: Freddy (1998 platformer)

I took the game from CD Guru 1999/2, a Hungarian magazine. There is no printed media for this magazine, just a 4-page cover / introduction / CD contents index / advertisement combo, it was a pure CD-issue back then and was a complementary to the more famous PC Guru.

I did some trial and error methods with Virtual Win9x drives, Directdraw wrappers and graphics drivers. Here are my experiences:
