Hey. Can you please check and show a longer gameplay video of the 1985 real-time tactics game from MC Lothlorien Ltd called "Arena" for ZX and CPC? There were many other Arena titles in the 1980s. Thete is only one short gameplay video, on KZread from 7 years ago in 2017, of that 1985 game on the ZX at under 1 minute. That's not long enough to see what it is really like.

I think they used simple multi-texturing. The most typical places in the game are barren wasteland, so basically you have flat clean terrain and a single light source, the sun. This way it is easy to use a pre-rendered shadow texture on the ground.

Since you emulated Windows 98, you should try VMWare. I was able to do a better emulation to play old games with VMWare under Vista and Win7 on a circa2008 (purchased on closeout in early 2009) Gateway 4200DX with then stock components. That 15 year old computer is far inferior to your rig so I imagine VMware would do better on your system. It played a game called "Jane's Fleet Command" under emulation better than my 1ghz Dell Optiplex GX110 which dual boots Win98SE and XP without emulation.
@zoltanthehun99319 күн бұрын
Yes, VMWare is a great alternative though I had trouble getting 3D acceleration working. Even DOSBOX was easier to configure with Win98 and 3D acceleration.

That "Are you sure you want to enter this data ?" dialogue popping up every time would absolutely wreck my head (although I guess in the Global > Safety / Protection menus it can be turned off). A lot of early GEM programs managed to make the UX much worse than the 40 column keyboard driven spreadsheets on the C64, or even 22 columns on the VIC-20 like Practicalc. Later attempts like 3D Calc and Opus seemed better tho.

MW3 was a huge step up from the good old MW2. Although MW2 was 100% into the clan-lore, MW3 gave a better...immersion into the universe at it's current state. (I haven't read the books beyond the Battle of Tukayyid back then). Overall just a very well designed and produced game. The german dubbing was on the spot, which is today no longer a must have even for AAA games (Diablo 4...).
