Sorry this episode is a little later than usual. I had a medical issue with my eye that resulted in lots of pain, delaying a lot of my work on this week's ADG. Don't worry, it doesn't seem like it was anything more than a "stye" in a really nasty, interior spot, and while I'm still in pain as I write this, it's VERY slowly feeling better. Also, I'm really surprised no one even attempted to guess what this week's Ancient DOS Game would be! :O

Ah well. In doing this web show of mine I've found it interesting how there's a lot of games I consider to be common-knowledge or staples, despite them being virtually unknown, and that I've gotten some requests for games that were really popular at the time, but which I had never heard of or had no interest in.

Also, lots of user-submitted corrections this week. For the Doom episode, I added some minor details about getting source ports working in general. For the SkyRoads episode I added a link to a modern remake titled "Tasty Static". For both the Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II episodes, I added a note that if you want to obtain these games from a Duke Nukem 3D CD, it has to be one of the original CDs and NOT the Atomic Edition! :O

Once again, not too much to say about today's episode. I'm still hard at work on my next game project, but I still don't have anything to really show about it yet. Again, I am going to have public alphas once I've got it going. One thing I can say about the game though is that it will be controlled from an overhead perspective similar to the DOS game "Seek and Destroy", where you face forwards from the bottom of the screen and the world turns around you. ;)

Again, more information to come!

Not a lot to say at the moment, been busy with all kinds of stuff. I wanted to get information about my next game project up before this month was over but I've been having to redesign aspects of the game constantly and as a result, I haven't begun programming it yet as I had originally planned. I'll keep everyone up to date as I make progress.

Once programming of my next game DOES begin, I plan to offer routine Public Alpha builds for everyone to try out. Yes, ALPHA builds, as in they are not guaranteed to work and likely won't have much to hold the average person's interest, but the reason I want to make them available is to ensure that what I'm making will work on a variety of hardware, and knowing the quirks early on will save me headaches later on. ;)

More information to come as more developments take place!

I still can't believe no one guessed todays Ancient DOS Game correctly. :P

Anyways, nothing too much to say at the moment... My headphones are on the fritz though which made it difficult to get this latest episode posted. I've got a replacement cable on the way to fix them right up but it's gonna take a week or two before it gets here. :/

I'll do my best to ensure that next week's episode is presented the way it should be! :)

Well, finally managed to get around to reviewing X-Wing on Ancient DOS Games! Hope you guys enjoy it because I was about ready to rage-delete the thing. ;D

...yeah... it's not that it's a bad game it's just really frustrating. Next week's game hopefully isn't like that, but I haven't ever given it a serious playthrough so it should be an interesting experience.

I'm busy streamlining some aspects of my next game project and will be beginning the coding process soon. No timeline as to when I will have screenshots up, as it really depends on a number of factors, but I want to try to have SOMETHING to show before this month is over. Wish me luck... ^_^;
