Originally Released: June 21st, 2014 ------------------------------------------ The lesson learned with making this video is that video hosting services don't like it when you try to upload videos with a Y resolution that's between 480 and 720. :P Anywhoo, this video is just a look at some fun Windows 3.1 games running in an actual instance of Windows 3.11, emulated in DOSBox. As for anyone wondering why I don't really talk about Windows 3.1 games much... well... I don't have a whole ton of experience with them. Not that I haven't played a whole bunch but I didn't grow up with them in the same way I grew up with DOS games. :P ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's the link to the Windows 3.1 section at RGB Classic Games: http://www.classicdosgames.com/win16.html * There used to also be a link to Windows 3.1 section at the Download Central website, but alas, that site's long since disappeared. :P * Here's the link to the guide on the VOGONS forums to step you through getting Windows 3.1 working in DOSBox: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=9405 * I find the best way to play Windows Solitaire is to turn off the game timer, set the card draw count to 1, and turn on Vegas scoring, as this will prevent you from cycling the deck once you reach the end so you need to be a little clever about how you move cards around and aren't guaranteed to win every game. (In fact, it becomes VERY hard to win...) * Some of the versions of Oil Baron you may come across will lack some of the features of later versions. You can tell if you're playing an older version or not by looking through the menus for the "War Room" option, which will quickly and easily configure all the game windows to look the way they do in this filler video. ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
