Does anyone know anything about these? I picked it up cheap with some other games. I turn it on and it runs through its checks but then comes to a black screen that acts like it is trying to load. I read that it is an internet based game and tried to hook it up to my internet but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

I picked this up from mikdawg to see if I can't help him out with it..

Done some work to the hard drive, It seems there was an error with memory issues. Managed to get it past all that with some tweaks on the autoexec.bat file.

Now it seems to want to stop when loading erix.exe ? Not sure why thou, it seems the file system is in tact? Thou I could be wrong and its missing files.

No error shows up on the screen or anything... Just stays at the point of where it should be loading... Driving me a little insane.. I'm so close but yet so far away..

Any help / idea's whatever it may be.. would be greatly appreciated!
 
Since I've hit a brick wall, can anyone give me some suggestions on a few games that work in DOS with only mouse clicks? I wanna make sure the touch screen works and I'm having trouble remembering any of those old games.
 
Which version of dos?

Castle wolfestin 3 d was in dos..
The zork series was text base dos..
Lhx attack copter.
Flight sim had an old dos version..
 
Slingo was a game made by a small company that sold pretty good the year it came out, because it had some hidden programs on it that you could use to run a gambling machine with. In states where poker machines were illegal, you could buy one of these and operate it. It had the ability to win free credits, and was set up with games that mimicked card games. So for instance, you might have little cars with numbers on the side of them instead of cards. If you bought 4 credits with a dollar, you might win 40 credits. There was a hidden operator menu, where an operator with a password could remove all the credits from the machine.


So.... say somebody wants to gamble on the machine and it's in a gas station or whatever, they win 400 credits, the operator walks over, knocks the credits off the machine and gives the guy 100 bucks.

Some states changed their laws slightly to make them illegal.
