I saw on the apogee web page a new freeware star gunner. I haven't
tried it out yet, but when I get some free time and a win computer
(the installer is win I think) with some free space I'll have a
look at it. Anyone tried it out?

I haven't seen StarGunner in ages... I have over the years purchased many an Apogee game but like everybody else stop playing them... well... I have recently gone into my second childhood I guess and have been starting to rediscover the old games I used to play and been having alot of fun doing it.

Running WinXP on my three machines here, so, needless to say even when re-installing from CD or floppy of the old Apogee games I do have, the sound emulation problem stopped me from messing with them, UNTIL, the discovery of VDMsound. It seems to have fixed every one I ever owned. DOSbox was another idea, but found that it just sux the moosey, IMO.

Anyway... it's been a long time since I've seen any activity in this echo, so, what apogee or 3Drealms games do you (or anybody here) still like to horse with.

Next... is there a way to do Duke3D over a modern internet connection under XP?
I'd love to hook into that with somebody... heh... still have my original CD for that, and I do play the game fairly often.

If for nothing else than nostalgic reasons, lets get a little bit of "memories"
going on in here. Face it... Apogee was on the cutting edge of gaming at one time, and even though you hate to admit it in comparison to todays games, if you are even LOOKING at this echo, you're still playing their games from time to time and love every second of it :)

Hmm.. I must try that out. Yep, those games are just not the same
without sound...

My favorite is still Wolf3d although I liked Blake Stone, the whole
Duke nukem series especially Duke Nukem 3D, Keen, Raptor is awsome!,
Rise of the Triad, Wacky Wheels. Those games just rock and I'm sure
there are many more that have slipped my mind.

I saw on one of the Linux distros (I forget which one now) they
had Wolf3D available. I am still looking for a way to get Wolf3D
running on my linux (debian). If I can do that I'll get any of the
above going here and continue with any/all of the above!

I still have the CD to but I've not used it in a while, maybe because
of the sound not working? If I could get Duke3D running on debian I'd
be in seventh heaven.. :)

Indeed, memories of those apogee games are alive and well (and still
looking for ways to get them going again for another round of ?? :)
