Booting the king of the dos cpu, 486dx2 66mhz. Disabling the turbo, it acts as a fast 386dx. With a single Pc, you cover almost all the dos age, not all but a very good period.

Hi my friends,
I was contacted by Juhana. Starting from the Play Stunts by Sven (always credit to Sven :)) , they reverse engineered a funny and fast competition chosing specific cars that you can use for any circuit (if you you want to get inside the scoreboard). Again there's NO RH and you must always follow the route. It's not in competition with Play Stunts because Play Stunts is going to be the place where to set the records of the records.

So I had some fun yesterday with these new friends and racers.

Here this version . There s a simple login just to set a fixed name for your races and records

Marco running on SKIDS circuit. Sorry my friends, i'm very involved in this project with Sven because this version of Stunts is going to be the best one ever existed in my mind.

First of all, Sven has found a way to solve my suggestions, expecially to remove the Replay Handling that is present in every version of the game.

Replay handling in Stunts (released as 4D Sports Driving in Europe) refers to the game's built-in feature that lets you pause, save, and manipulate your driving performances. Basically You can save and resume how many times you want a run from any point of the track in a replay, and the final run will still be completely valid for the online scoreboard. This is not racing in my mind but it's editing and allow slower players to overtake faster by simply spending hours in the replay editor. No good to me.

In play Stunts this is forbidden in the sense that you can use replay handling for testing obviouslu but your lap will be not recorded in the scoreboard. NICE

So come my friends and join the leaderboard .

Hi my friends, Exo wrote me to present this new site. Here the link to the page where you can write your stories, memories or experience about our favourite Dos games. The main interface of the site is very nice in the old Windows style and there are the icons to chose Dos or old Windows games to write about. Let's go to check it ! I will surely write about how I discovered what was the very first full vga 256 colors dos game :) Do you know this game ? I give you a spoiler, it was on March 1989. If you cheat with Copilot , I advise you that it could be not so perfect in the answer :))))

5th Update - Well my friends, if you have seen the yesterday evening live video, you already know that the situation was not very good. The English Royal Army arrived with an impressive amount of units. I defended at my best and , after 50 years of war (YES 50 !) , I still have control of a city completely under siege of the initial six ... I lost all my 60thousand golds purchasing units from the friendly French and, at the end, also the Netherland tried to help me but, my friends, 50 years ... crazy. English have control of 5 of the 6 original cities, I think there's no chance to change the situation at this point. WOW.

In the second picture, :))), I tried a strategy suggested by a friend comment . "try to block any square with units so to avoid the landing of the english units" . Well, it doesn'work because when the english try to land, they steal the unit on the coast. The super Sid brain imagined this trick situation 30 years ago. :)

Maybe it remains to try to place warships around the entire Island but I have only 6 at the moment and the game already tell me that there s no more space for other units. I searched and I discovered that the limit number of unit is 256 for any player around the map but if you stock them inside the cities you can increase this limit anyway ... there's an overall in game limit of 1024 unit considering also your opponents. So probably, in 1850, we already reached that limit and I cannot increase the units.

My friends, yes i still have a city but, we have to admit the we lost !

the miracle has happened. my new 486 dx2 is working perfectly from the beginning. no problems encountered. probably, the previous one was particularly unlucky. I hope it will survive some years:)
