I plan to buy a GUS MAX too. Everyone please give me your opinions; I think if they are accepting preshipping orders of $179, the price will only go down from there, or stay the same for a while. But if the some people who have more experience in this than I do think otherwise, I may go aheard and preorder one myself. Please tell me what you all think. -Dean ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Apr 1994 12:33:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Shawn Talbert Subject: HIRED GUNS HIRED GUNS is ok. The sound is good, but I don't remember it being very "3-D", but I haven't played it much yet. The music is very techno, but the graphics are somewhat lacking, due mostly to the fact that you have the screen divided up into 4 equal-sized squares. The game allows up to 4 people to play at once (real time), and each character's view takes up one of the 4 areas on the screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ironside@beta.tricity.wsu.edu Shawn Talbert - Electrical Engineer TAG - Technology Applications Group ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Apr 1994 10:22:34 EDT From: Hal Black Subject: Re: Hired Guns/3d sound/opinions? > I saw "Hired Guns" in the software store today with the sticker "3d > Holographic > > Ultrasound sound" on it.

The sound is great on this game, scares the crap out of you when a gunshot goes off. However, this is some kind of multi-player game, with the screen divided into multiple segments, and the graphics look like some kind of Amiga-port EGA graphics. -- | sylk@mik.uky.edu | hwblac00@ukpr.uky.edu | Entitlements kill | (tastefully short signature) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Apr 1994 15:38:36 -0700 From: akumar@hposl00.cup.hp.com (Arun) Subject: MegaEm, Windows enhanced mode, KQVI Hi all, I installed Megaem 2.02 (megaem202.zip) y'day on my Pentium, 66MHz Zeos Box. I have 16MB RAM. I am running WFW3.11 (enhanced mode) and Dos 6.2. The EMM386 manager is loaded with the -noems switch I load MegaEM with the -noems switch, and emuset. If I enter Windows everything is fine, however as soon as I exit windows, the system hangs. I see the same behaviour even if I remove the -noems switch from the memory manager and megaem. The same thing happens if I start KQVI from windows. I think the problem is because megaem cannot handle enhanced mode windows. I do not have a scsi controller on my motherboard. KQVI runs fine if I do everything in Dos. However I get weird sounds if I run the demos off the CD-ROM. I have chosen General Midi and Soundblaster in KQVI. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks folks, Arun ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Apr 1994 16:14:29 -0500 From: marek@austin.ibm.com (Marek R. Telgarsky) Subject: mod med 669 Hi Does anyone know where I can find information on the different types of mod formats? I want to write a player, and that information would come in handy. *grin* Also... what type of mod's are out there? I know that the .mod comes in several different flavors... like protracker, noisetracker, etc. The types of formats that I know are mod (different flavors), med, mtm, 669, s3m. Anybody know of any others?
