Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite The Panzer game used the actual stats of the World War 2 tanks.It allowed you to use the tanks from Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States.It took place in the sands of Africa so there were no large hills or valleys to get in the way

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite I really loved the remastered version of the breakout. I hope to see more ports from Peter with fresh audio and UI rather than Emulating everything from dos. Its so great playing classic versions and remastered. Its something similar to many video games

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite [[wow]], Phil! I didnt know such awesome games were made in dos. Mainly because my English was so bad this time so I couldnt navigate websites on my own. So I only played lots of Danish text based games. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite hello.Ive downloaded the version 2 of Breakout from PCSGames website in post 36, however I found some bug in it.1. when you run the game, it asks you to select clasic or modern sound mode, however NVDA doesnt read the message, although you can use up

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite Hmm, I never played Panzers in North Africa. But wasnt that what GMA Tank Commander was based on? Are there differences between the two games, besides the obvious fact that a DOS environment wouldnt have been as complex?Same with the car racing game. I

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite Personally, sinse I only got involved with audiogames in december of 2005, I never played any of Phils dos games as they werent on his site at that point, so Id love to see some remakes as what Ive heard about several sounds really intreaguing. So, more

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite @PhilThanks for the higher quality intro. As far as the other sounds, the ones I have are actually 11khz, probably because I got them from the floppy release. If there are indeed higher quality versions than the 11K ones I have then I can put them

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite @Simber, breakout style games are really popular, but as far as I know there arent that many around that are accessible, which is odd sinse its a style of game that could be done easily in audio. Rebound from Gamevial is about the best example, and that does

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite @Pitermach, nice game, Ive given it a try now. the sounds and music were extremely good, and I liked how the reaction test got sort of extreme in terms of where to fire to hit the walls. My only cryticism is the game really isnt that much like breakout

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite Dark,Yes, pitermachs version is exactly like the old PCS dos game.As you break through the bricks you hear a higher pitch in the sound so you know that youve hit a part youve hit before.I know the original breakout requiered you to move back and forth along
