#EMPIRE XP PC GAME PDF#

It has good multimedia players (240p being the practical limit though), SoftMaker CE gives it document abilities nearly equal to modern Office (plus PDF-making ability AND the ability to handle things like Apache OpenOffice documents), pretty good art and photo programs, browsers like Opera Mini 5 give it decent regular browsing abilities, a good Hex Editor, Foxit PDF Reader, an alarm clock application, and a few others. Truth be told, even now that netbook is quite useful. I also needed the GAPI application to get it and pckDOS running. It has gotten a number of games to work just fine on the netbook, albeit only in 320h x 240v mode. The actual game files must be available for it to work so it's not a pirate program.

It allows one to play games on systems those games were never intended for. Thus a vast collection of MS-DOS games run on just about anything out there since most people here are probably not into tinkering with antique computers as I am. Remember this was a pitiful little netbook so even if sound lags a bit or is lacking at times this was an amazing leap in its game playing abilities.ĭOSBox 0.74 runs almost as well on the 2001 Sony XP VAIO as it does on the far more formidable 2012 ASUS. Still, you do get the following (with a little help from SCUMMVM CE v1.3.1): Wizardry 1-3, Ultima (1 only), Shadowgate, Secret of Monkey Island 1 & 2 (play very well), Discworld (very well), Bubble Bobble, Arkanoid, Lemmings games (cursor is clumsy and sound effects only), Dreamweb, Darkseed, Sam and Max Hit the Road, Legend of Kyrandia 1-3, Blackjack!, Hold `Em Pocker, Crimson Crown, Sid Meier's Civilization, Dino Park Builder (sound effects only), Inherit the Earth (both versions), LOOM (both versions), among others. PocketDOS handles them, but sound is inferior or non-existent. The former is overall superior to the latter except for its inability to properly display CGA games like 'Wizardry' and 'Shadowgate.' You get a jumble that looks like two small screens next to each other.

Since many games were created by companies that no longer exist and were never bought up (including the rights to the games), many of them are in fact in a Limbo- abandoned.įunny thing- there are two Mobile versions of DosBox-type software that run on my crummy Windows CE Sylvania netbook (with a whopping 50MB available.offline.): pckDOS and PocketDOS. Some of the links directed me to sites like GOG Games, so whatever site I was on was likely legit. I don't think that's the case with what I found. So yeah its a means of playing games but we probably shouldn't give people the impression its legal. Just pointing out that 'Abandonware' isn't an official designation, its something websites made up to justify essentially the PC equivalent of rom downloads. I've also gotten a lot of mileage out of my XP desktop as a video-watching machine. Original Doom 3 will run fine tho), the later Myst games, freeware puzzler Hex-a-hop, the freeware ports of the Marathon trilogy (they're supposed to run on Windows 98 but in my experience they refused to). I have found a few-Doom 3 (not the BFG Edition tho-that requires later hardware. One reason I ask about Windows XP specifically BTW is because I already have a separate comp that does a lot of older Win98 and DOS games (and Dosbox runs on anything really), I was wondering if there was anything on XP specifically that made it worthwhile. Have fun!Just pointing out that 'Abandonware' isn't an official designation, its something websites made up to justify essentially the PC equivalent of rom downloads.
