@dpanter: dgvoodoo? Last I checked that still didn't reproduce everything, but, admittedly, I haven't looked at it for a while.

Edit: ah, the Enhanced mod. Yeah, I skipped that one once I saw PS3 textures in there.

Yeah, that's promising, but apparently moving shadows are a separate issue - those needed the right Nvidia GPU (within 2 generations, I think) and correct drivers to render properly.

Early Splinter Cells are a massive PITA in this regard, and even assuming Pandora is now fixed SC1 is still locked to GF3-GF4 (none of which is that great at running this game at a decent framerate, funnily enough. Hello, 800x600). One of the reasons I keep old parts around.

Did they implement a proper fix for rendering those shadows, or are we still forced to use decades-old GeForce cards?

Wow, I remember Outlive. Not very fondly, mind you, competition was very tight back then.

Now, where's that Atrox remaster?

It's a pre-order scheme and we all (should, by now) know it. They'll also be finishing development way past release date. I like Revolution, I love these games, but "not a sure thing" + Kickstarter not yet live in October with an "early 2026" release date just doesn't track.

I take it that "support" in the context of DOS games just means slapping Dosbox on top of them?

Not to mention Freddy Pharkas is also supported by ScummVM. Fun game, but I can't see what makes it a priority.

I like me some stale 90s RTS, but that's sort of my issue here: I'm not seeing anything that stands out, it's just about the fetish. I wouldn't mind more of these, but is there enough of a market? Fingers crossed!

You people do fantastic work. fheroes2 and VCMI both have a permanent spot on my phone, not to mention HoMM1 via Dosbox. Very cool to have all this right here in my pocket wherever I go.

Some consolation as the world continues to (appear to) crumble around us ;)
