Re: Talking dosbox release 2
Hi all,
This is a really nifty package! Much easier to set up than the virtual machines ... my only gripe is that the PC speaker is often a bit wobbly, but that's a minor thing.
I collected most of the games in the gwbasic folder between 2001 and 2003 when I was in high school, and made a website containing them ... it's no longer on the live Internet, but it's on the Wayback Machine (search for pianoman.port5.com/basic.html at archive.org ... sorry, I can't seem to type in a URL in this post).
I also wrote the Super Simon game which is filed as simon.bas and simon.exe.
It's probably worth noting that most of these games only accept input in uppercase, as many of them were written in the 1970s for computers that didn't support lowercase text, so caps lock should be turned on when using them. Here are a few of my favourites in alphabetical order:
*Banko.bas, a bit like black jack, but using points instead of cards ... try t
o get to 60 points, and try not to get below zero!
*Bigtrek.bas: A Star Trek computer game which I'm *still* addicted to, even though I first played it twenty years ago! Documentation for it is in trekinfo.txt.
*Escape.bas: The Great Escape, originally written for the Apple II by Delton T. Horn, ported to GW-BASIC by Jason Smith, and modified a bit by yours truly (adding save/restore and quit routines). You are lost in a giant maze of a hundred rooms ... try to get out ... if you can! Documentation is at ereadme.txt.
*Monop.bas: Monopoly, play against the computer
*Space.bas: Space adventure: try to deliver the secret plans!
Hope this helps.
Graham
