The Warhammer is a large blunt weapon for smashing enemies, requiring Bludgeoning:5 skill. Damage caused to enemies is based on the player character's Strength. It is especially fun to use the warhammer in upper and middle level dungeons, where it allows the player character to bludgeon their way through enemies as if the enemies were not even there.

On the second level of Conveyors, even the guards are helpful. They push the cards onto conveyor belts for you to pick up, and play no further part in the game. But you must be quick: if you don't pick up all the cards in time, they will be carried into the forcefields and destroyed! Luckily, you can have four robots to complete this task. Choose wisely!

Mountains in #Barbarians are sources of iron for your weaponry. A city beside the mountains will get 3 iron from each adjacent mountain square. Traversal is extremely difficult for your troops, though, and it can take several turns for an army to make the climb.

I saw a local message that a garage needed to be cleared out today, because junkers were coming tomorrow. Everything free.
Which is why I now have a working (apparently?) IBM 5153 CGA monitor.
Difficulty Level: I don't have anything that outputs CGA video. I'm going to go look for someone's weird "generate a CGA test pattern with an Arduino/Raspberry Pi" project notes, but please send me a link to such if you have one.

The terrain on the horizon in The Anarchic Kingdom is purely decorative, but differs for every barony. So it's easy to visually spot your own barony when paging through the landscapes. https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The Tunic is body armour made of leather to provide light protection against blows to the body. It is more effective protection than a cloak, but lacks the cloak's stealth advantages. Requires Dodging:1 to use effectively. Get The #ChambersBeneath from https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The third level pack for #TeamDroid is Conveyors. Conveyor belts in every level help you or hinder you, sometimes both at once. In the first level there's no returning to the first chamber, so you need to push all the cards on to conveyor belts to be carried to the card reader chamber, before making your own way through.

The Ice Shelf is the source of the planet's Ice Flows, and is solid enough that Ports and other land units can be established there. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

If your empire is blessed with forests in #Barbarians, then you may have a free source of wood: each city generates 3 wood for each adjacent forest square. The trees can hamper the movement of your troops, though, taking a couple of turns for them to make it through. Get the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The size of your settlement in The Anarchic Kingdom reflects your strength compared to the other baronies. A bustling walled city shows that you're ahead. Download the game at https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The Sword is a medium blade weapon for stabbing and slashing, requiring Blades:3 skill. Damage caused to the enemy is based on the player character's Agility. Some starting warriors favour the sword as it is affordable at the start of the game. Get The #ChambersBeneath from https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The final level of Double Trouble is one of the most difficult. The two alcoves at bottom left and top right have guard droids that strafe mercilessly. You need to have impeccable timing to avoid their fire, whether you elect to destroy them or not.

In the colder regions of Dalen there are Ice Flows. Like Sandbanks, these are accessible only to Hoverbugs, Air Fighters, and to Mining Boats which can carefully navigate among them. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Your empire in #Barbarians has up to 4 different types of terrain, the most plentiful being plains. This is where food is grown, and the flat landscape is easy for your armies to traverse. A city generates 3 food for each plains square that surrounds it, including plains squares shared with other cities. Get the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #ibmpc #msdos #cga

After your first #StarCadre Combat Class game, you have the opportunity to choose the mission and the team for your next game. The default choice is one of each unit type, but you can choose a mission and tailor your team to perform best at it, e.g. more soldiers for an Annihilation mission. Or you can set everything to Random for a more interesting challenge! Get the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-combat-class #ibmpc #msdos #cga

There's more to a #StarCadre Combat Class Rescue mission than getting those hostages out of there. Some of them might have useful skills, including combat skills. Giving them weapons looted from fallen enemies turns them into useful members of the team. Giving them blades in particular allows them to help free their colleagues more quickly, something that requires no skill.

If you find my #cga palette choices questionable, there's a new utility for #msdos by RetroErik that will help. PalSwap for EGA/VGA, which includes CGASwap for CGA, lets you choose your own palette and force it on just about any CGA game. The CGA version lets you choose any valid CGA palette, while the EGA/VGA version lets you choose any combination of 4 colours. Get it from https://github.com/RetroErik/PalSwap

I know... for many people, this game is literally from the ancient past, but I'm still a huge fan of the original CGA PC version of "Maniac Mansion" from 1988. Back then, the entire game existed on a single 360K 5.25 inch floppy disk!

I got inspiration for #BarrenPlanet from a number of sources. It was built on a combat engine of my own design, but included elements from computer games like the #BattleIsle series and Steve Jackson's #Ogre board game. I discuss these sources of inspiration in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/184/barren-planet-the-inspiration #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga

I would like to find the right CGA emulator for my old XT. Has anyone used or known about chcolmon or other similar software to play CGA games on XT with Hercules?
#CGA #retrocomputing #pcxt #vintagecomputing -
Yesterday I tried to play several #cga games on my old #pcxt
Since my graphics card is Hercules I usually use an emulator called 'chcolmon'. But I can't find it with that name.
Well, back to the games.
I tried to play Livingston Supongo (Opera Soft) and start fine, with their music, but with a blank screen.
However, Goody (Opera Soft), works fine. Could it be a native Hercules game?
After this I started to look for a CGA emulator, and I found hgcibm but it is too slow.
