Excalibur?

This is correct.

Hmm, "Cat People"?

Yes.

Tried to follow crimson wizard's solution but it no longer works.

The link in my post above was directing to very early 3.3.0 build. You do not need that anymore, since we have official 3.3.0 release. You may take acwin.exe right from there:

Not sure if that will help in your case though... my solution was for very old games which did not provided Direct3D support.

Ops, sorry. No, it's not "Heroes of Might and Magic", and not "Age of Wonders".

Let's see if this tiny piece of GUI will be enough...

The good ole "Centurion: Defender of the Rome".

Kill the enemy chieftain, and all troops run away .

I do not know the title, I even don't know if it had a title but I had this game when I was a kid! It was this little Russian handheld machine with only one game. I also had the one with the diver and an octopus.

I looked like this and we called it "WesoŠ‚y kucharz" which can be roughly translated as "Happy chef"

I'd like to know anything about this advertisment from the back cover ending screen in ColourWise:



It sais 2009, did I miss it?

Searching on forums for "Scarab" is tad difficult, because there's forum member with such name.

It is perhaps possible to rewrite OtherRoom plugin using a script module of same name for the reference. The functions must be registered under same names as in original plugin.

Example of very simply made plugin rewrite for Linux: https://github.com/onitake/agsteamstub
(probably can work for Win too)

"OtherRoom" plugin is required for running several games, including some of the "Barn Runner" series.

I thought SDL2 is just used for audio there and their port of Allegro 4 to OS X would still be useful?

No, I just mean that their latest additions does not give us much benefit. I am speaking of the changes made last week to Janet's repository. I see Edward is making more SDL2 "injections" in allegro.
I wish these were changes to AGS code instead, but oh well.

Humble Bundle is going a strange way, for OSX & Linux (I think) they are putting parts of SDL2 under Allegro 4 to serve as a hidden backend.
Although I understand that Wadjet Eye needs a working result any way, I don't like where this is going. I don't think their work will help AGS much .

The big W

I did not know they filmed "Carmageddon" .

I think we may combine few problems together into a larger "patch Allegro" one. There are number of patches that may be beneficial for AGS, including OSX support and resizing window. I think the solution could be to clone official Allegro repository, make a new branch and apply patches there. If this will be done, we may then refer version builders to this branch instead of official Allegro repository (for windows version we may remove precompiled libraries from repository and use this branch too).

Maybe there's someone who would like to try this out?

Found by references: game called "Beach Head". Looks like there were several remakes in different periods (even on C64).

I'm looking for a non-adventure game (sorry). It was a 2d, DOS game. You were in a stationary bunker or something in WW2 and planes came in (these were probably very simple 3d). You had to shoot them down. It was kinda first person. You could turn the gun 360 degrees I believe. Any ideas any one? I specifically remember the planes made a nice 'pop' effect when you got them, almost like balloons. And they would break into a bunch of little pieces.

Not a DOS game, but that reminds me much of the Operation Blockade.

I'm looking for an AGS game now - Dada: Stagnation in Blue. None of the links in the Completed Games Announcements work and the game isn't present in the game database for some reason. Any help will again be greatly appreciated.

There's one on AgsArchives. For some reason it is not in games database, but there's an archive on server:

Dungeons of Kremlin ("Lenin's Mausoleum" level)?
