Mega Tokyo SCI Archive / Re:Help getting games to run on a 486!

« on: September 06, 2002, 03:14:00 PM »

WOOOHOOOO!  Thanks guys!  I got myself a mouse driver off the internet that works.  The memory program really really did the trick (I have DOS 6.22).  So far all my old games that Ive tested are running!
Now my only problem is that I lost my QFG 2 3.5' Disk 9.  Would it be wrong to ask someone to email me the files on the disk since I can't buy it in stores?  Or is that something that would be okay to do?  Im totally against software pirating so I dont want to do it if its wrong.
Thanks again for your help.

Mega Tokyo SCI Archive / Help getting games to run on a 486!

« on: September 05, 2002, 09:15:08 PM »

I just got a brand spankin new 486 in the mail  (well maybe not so new) and Im trying to get my SCI games to run on it.  Its been forever since Ive had a computer like this, and when I did have one I was a kid (8-12 yrs old) so I didnt know all that much about tweaking it.  
I was wondering if anyone has any tips for getting a mouse to work and for getting SCI games to run.  I need to free up between 15000 and 5000 bytes to run the games I want.  The system has 8mb of ram on it, so I know theres plenty of it.  I just dont remember the lines to change / add in the config.sys and/or autoexec.bat   .
If anyone has any tips or any links to sites with tips I would be grateful.
Thanks!

Hey-
Sorry guys, i guess Im not that funny.  I don't really thing that Larry games suck...they just happen to be the only SCI series that I never played.  I liked all of the other ones and I think I would have liked LSL also.  There just wasn't an option for "I liked them all" so I thought I'd put my vote in anyways.
I guess this was supposed to be a serious poll and I was joking around when I shouldn't have.  I didnt mean to offend anyone and I apologize if I did.  

EDITED TO SAY: I didnt notice the 'Other' option in the poll, i should have put that instead.

I like them all also...but I chose LSL cause I've never played any of those...so they must suck

Hey guys-

I'm new here (As of today..Sept 1 2002) so Im still figuring out all this SCI01 SCI1 SCI11 stuff.
What I did want to say is that I think I have an EGA version of KQ5.  The box says "Supports Tandy Graphics, EGA, MCGA(PS/2), and VGA" but on the 3.5 and 5.25 disks it says "KING's QUEST V 16 COLORS".
I dont know if that means this is EGA only or not, but it sure sounds like it.  I remember my friend down the street complaining that I got the EGA version instead of the VGA version when it first came out (my computer didnt support VGA at the time).
Hope this helps you guys
