vga256i am blown away by this german rpg (with full english translation) that has been around for decades, and i somehow never heard of it until nowTeudogar and the Alliance with Rome (2003) is as close to an Ultima VII followup as we'll ever see in my opinion.<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40423/teudogar-and-the-alliance-with-rome/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mobygames.com/game/40423/teudogar-and-the-alliance-with-rome/</a>i was initially crushed when i saw that the developer closed their site, and did not allow any registrations/purchases of the game - and the demo was the only thing left available.mercifully, some digging revealed that the developer *very* kindly provided a free download of the full version of the game in a secret area of their site: <a href="http://www.teudogar.com/private/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://www.teudogar.com/private/index.html</a>important: the zip password is Password<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultima</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win95</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rpg</a>

vga256caligari truespace 4.0 source for win9xas released by the scene group Revolt in 1998this is not my release - just my archival work. the source for truespace has been hiding in plain sight for 25+ years. having exhausted all my known avenues for finding an "official" seal of approval from the publisher, community-based preservation is the only possibility now.the story: apparently someone from Revolt went to caligari's public FTP server in the late 90s, and found that an employee had left the full source for TrueSpace 4 in a /pub folder. it was released on BBSes and on IRC in the late 90s, and disappeared from the internet soon after.doing some research on TrueSpace - truly the best piece of 3D modelling/rendering software aside from Bryce in the 90s - i stumbled upon a brief mention of the source code in an ancient usenet post. tracking down the release involved searching the *exceptional* scenelist.org NFO database, and trying to figure out the exact filename of the warez release.SCiZE, the scenelist.org owner, did not have the files on his BBS. fortunately, he knew exactly where to find the release: it was buried in the massive 500GB "ibm-wgam-wbiz-collection" on IA. knowing the exact filename made it so much easier to track down in there!so, have some fun with it. this doesn't belong on github or any publicly scrapable source site. just download it and let's see who can manage to compile it first :)see the instructions in revolt.nfo for extra help on compiling<a href="https://archive.org/details/ts4src" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/ts4src</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/warez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warez</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win95</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a>

Inari :acefox:Finally got my 486 online, running Win 95 OSR2 w/ Netscape Navigator.Now I can finally install the drivers for the SoundBlaster card.You might be thinking, but that's easy! But I have an SB128 installed, and I have a very limited selection of media on which to transfer stuff from my Win10 machine to the 486. Getting the networking working was a huge step on getting it working.This PC is really a huge hodge-podge of components. The SB card is actually one of my old cards from the late 90s. I bought the 486 board (with a 5x86 133MHz chip in it), an AMD 486 DX4-100 bought and installed, the HDD is a 120GB laptop drive with a SATA to PATA adapter.I am just doing what I can to put together something that helps me relive the days of my original AST 486 DX2-50.<a href="https://squeaky.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://squeaky.social/tags/win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win95</a>

vga256now realizing that the vast majority of you either had never heard of Jurassic Park: Trespasser (1998), or read some magazine review back then that summarily trashed it, it is honestly one of the most fascinating FPS games i've ever playedback then, 3dfx glide and d3d cards were beginning to (undeservedly) rule the graphics hardware space. if a game didn't support hardware 3d rendering, it was assumed that gamers weren't going to buy it.the Trespasser development team (mostly seamus blackley iirc) had written an incredible software renderer for the game. volumetric lighting and fog effects were incredible, and i've personally never seen a better software lighting renderer.the problem was - at the time, a Pentium (or PII if you were rich) CPU would have been what most of the install base had. the game ran like molasses on anything but the fastest hardware.so to please everyone, the software renderer was nearly completely nerfed. all of the advanced lighting and texturing effects were stripped out, because 3dfx glide/d3d didn't support any of those functions.in the end, we got a poorly-lit, low-poly and ugly-textured (but fairly fast) game that ran on 4 and 8 meg 3d cards.thankfully, a few screenshots of the original software renderer were released to the press while the game was being developed. these were generated in-engine.remember: this was 1997, and the fastest processor at the time was a PII-300 mhz.credit to SharkyExtreme and Internet archive for the WBM backup<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/3d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3d</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/3dfx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dfx</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win95</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a>
