DOS games I wrote in 93 or so
NBall, a clone of the old Lucasarts game BallBlasters/Blazers or whatever, but with texture mapping to give it a bit more realism. Still works for me, though I can't find the source code to this. The opponent ship is a raytraced romulan I think. :)
XStar, a top-view shooter. I can't get this running correctly on NVidia, it doesn't seem to like the VGA tricks I did back then. But it worked on another box I tried with dosbox. Includes source code.
If you want soundblaster sound, or have trouble with these games otherwise, you might have better luck trying to run it from within dosbox, a program made just for this purpose (running old DOS games).
I'd really like to find the old StarCastle game I made. Somewhere on the net I guess... Wish I'd kept all the really old classic computer stuff. Who knew there'd be emulators?
Obviously ignore any cheesy "shareware" notices on these things.
