Title: First Person Shoorts For A 386 Cpu
Post by: XDelusion on September 07, 2003, 07:31:00 PM

What are some good FPS' that work on 386 machines? I'd like to know a few good ones to play on DosXBOX.

Wolfenstein, and um...I dunno...Rise of the Triad?

Wolfenstein 3D, Black Stone, Ken's Labyrinth (kinda goofy), and Nightmare 3D are the only one's I can come up with.

Some flight shooting 3D games that may work: Decsent and Radix: Beyond the void

Heretic may be old enough to run, not sure though.

I'm not sure about that... it had trouble working on my 486 w/ 12MB of RAM back in the day.

How about Magic Carpet? I seem o remember running that on a 386.

Hmmm... probably protected mode though. I'll have to dig it out and give it a try.

It isn't a FPS, but you forgot Beneath a Steel Sky!

I don't think Terminal Velocity would run too well.. perhaps worse than Descent would!

Thankx for the list, and for those who don't know:

Anything based upon the DOOM engine and beyond WILL not work or will play SLOWLY. This means that things such as Quake and Magic Carpet which use Poly's definatly are out of the question, infact I can't even get Alone In The Dark 2 to run at a decent speed, and can't get 1 (the best of all Alone's) to work at all. I doubt ROTT will run well if at all, and Duke and Shadow Warrior are definatly out of the question, we're gonna be restricted to the old classics that ran on the Wolfenstein or Wolfenstein like engines.

Once again, thankx to all for contributing to the list, if you can think of more that fit the limitations I have mentioned above, please feel free to list them, and wheather or not you have tested them at all on DOSXBOX.

I take that back, Corridor 7 runs ungodly sloooooowwwwwww. Has anyone actually tested any of this stuff on DOSXBOX, or what? I was sure someone had ran Wolfensteind at least at full speed, but then again that came with Return To Castle Wolfenstein, so why bother?

Is there anything generic enough to run full speed without shrinking the screen to Gameboy size!?

Where you press FIRE, and you can watch frame by frame in slow motion as he raises his pistol and fires.

What kind of tweaking are you talking about? I'm VERY interested.

Anyhow, like I was saying, some improvements, but I still have the shrink the screen and it still does not run as fast as it would on a real 386. Corridore 7 that is.

Wouldn't it be easier if the CPU cycles were already set at there highest from the get go isntead of having to increase it every time? I figure most of the games peple intend to play are prolly newer rather than older and require at least a 386.

In effect, not many FPS are going to run on a 386. Maybe it was developed mostly for old-school adventure games...

did you try the other dos emulator im told it emulates a 486 cpu

Well I got the games running so so, but I can not live with this sort of frame rate! Oh well, no biggy!

I did manage to get Alone In The Dark 2 running a lot better, now I just need to get part 1 to work and I'll be happy.

Never got much of anything to run on Bosh or what ever it was called. That's why I was so excited that DOSBOX got ported. I think the problem with Alone In The Dark lies in the fact that it is cracked, and requires you to run a patch on the game before you play. When you do this it simply locks up the emu, and bring you back to your Dash. Ironically enough I had to do the same thing for Alone 2, and it worked without crashing out on me. If someone can varify that Alone in the Dark runs full speed on DOSXBOX I'll be more than happy to order it off Ebay as I only own the Mac version and 3DO versions, and own neither machine and can not emulate either on the XBOX of course.
