Thanks for the suggestion! Let’s do it for 2026-Q3 since it’s the top-voted non-FPS on the forum at this point.

If you don’t have much time you can skip the cutscenes (press SPACE) and watch them afterwards on Let’s Plays instead. You can view objectives in game (press O).

You must have been reading my mind. For episode zero we did talk about the evolution from DOS to Windows. I probably should’ve mentioned that in the trailer and asked for voicemails too.

If there is enough interest I’m down to having a few, smaller special episodes to discuss each major Windows release.

I was pretty disappointed XvT went MP only, and was glad to see this. Unfortunately I got too busy with Star Wars modding to actually play it! I think I was also a bit burned out by space shooters after WC3, 4, 5.

Most excellent suggestion!

Spouse and I got all the way through this one before we had so many exhausting responsibilities. It’s such a fun, western take on the JRPG formula. Amazing they did it with such a small team. Would love to see a sequel.

Love the banner!

Yeah the W95 joystick was some nice pixel art. I’d rather not use it as is because I want to respect the artist. Perhaps I can whip up something inspired by that at some point.

RSS is already supported, in fact that’s how podcasts are published:

I think my vibe-coded theme may have obscured that fact.

I’ll try to make it more obvious in the next update.

Starting at 95 was because the DOS Game Club has already talked about covering Win 3x, and I hadn’t encountered any big-budget games for that platform.

That said, I’m glad to hear at least one Civ game was published there.

If there is enough interest, and DGC hasn’t already covered the same game, then I could be convinced.

Sorry, I only have a spam filter plugin. Maybe it’s too aggressive. Will have to take a look.

EDIT: Looks like it was the default discussion settings. I’ve made them a bit more relaxed. Still need to find out why it’s not emailing me alerts when stuff needs moderation.

Good topic!

Most of the Windows 9x and newer games, I’ve been able to get working on newer Windows, albeit sometimes with fan patches or ports. IME, DOSBox-X (DBX) can run both Windows 3.x and Windows 9x, with some effort. I’ve been meaning to try DOSBox-Pure with RetroArch for its rewind capability. DBX only has save states, and they don’t work well with complex games.

I recommend casual players try Windows 3 games directly on Archive.org.

Steam and GOG have pretty solid coverage of the Win 9x and XP eras, with only some Win 3.x games. For a comprehensive collection, ExoWin3x facilitates a proper game install, if you want saving and loading, as well as more performance. Just take care if you insist on combining with ExoDOS proper as I’ve found ExoWin3x works best as a standalone install.

Yeah, sorry I need to promote the IRC more on the website.

Though considering the era perhaps something like an AOL IM or even XMPP would be more fitting or as a compliment.

It is a lot of splash screens and logos, for the era at least. One would think that registering for copyright could serve as a kind of chain of ownership. Though in this era of global copyrights and matrix of laws, the complexity explodes.

Ultimately it’s probably destroying as much culture as copyright is encouraging to be created.

Hard agree. I spent a *lot* of time in K&P as well.

Perhaps nGlide or dgVoodoo2 is getting good enough?
