Re: Hello everyone...

Hey, Bucky.  I'm a bit of a newbie myself.  Cool we found this place, huh?  :)

Re: XP!!!!!!!!  Grrr!!!!!!!

That's so bizarre, Dr. Paul!  I would have never thought such a thing would matter!  Computers are nuts. Anyway, if I were to get a CD-Rom, it would have to be an external...don't know how much those are, but I don't have any free bays open (except a modem I don't need anymore). I bought The Sims ...

XP!!!!!!!!  Grrr!!!!!!!

Son of a...at least Return to Zork turns bloody on, even if the videos won't work!  I have a hope of playing it! Nemesis just will not run.  It asks me for Disc 1...and Disc 1 is what I have in the bloody bay!  *sniffle*  I tried changing the compatibility mode...didn't work. This also happened with...

Re: i need help installing RTZ

Another tip--if none of the sound cards will get the sound effects to work, you might try turning OFF the use of HIMEM.  I had to do that to mine to get any sound.  It'll come in the form of 5 questions at the end of it asking which cards you have.  Highlight whichever one mentions HIMEM and hit spa...

Nemesis Music Question...

I was looking through the music titles...but wasn't sure what to pick.  I got the Temple Aggripa track, but it doesn't seem to be the same thing I'm seeking.  Or it does, but not exactly. See, as you're traversing the temple it plays the Temple Agrippa theme...but at some points you'll hear a woman'...

Re: RTZ Video Format?  Whaaa?

Kyrandia!  *sniffle*  I miss that game!!!  I wonder if I can find it anywhere.  I never got past the first copyright check cause my uncle lost the manual. :P  I'm gonna have to look around for that one. As for RTZ, I spose I'll just see if it'll work on my dad's machine or my old desktop.  I did get...

Re: RTZ Video Format?  Whaaa?

Thanks!  Wow...too bad it isn't easier to run our favorite old games.  We can run Atari games with a good emulator, but not something a few years older?  *sigh*

I wish you luck in getting things going on your end. :)

RTZ Video Format?  Whaaa?

After much struggling to get just the sound to work on my XP system, I was so happy when suddenly Trembyle popped up rambling on about his battery.  YAY! Then...I came to the lighthouse.  For whatever reason the videos aren't running.  It flashes something about "cannot load..." and then s...
