[07:24] IsambardPrince But id software did release it publicly for the "fun of the community". [07:25] IsambardPrince And nobody seems to be preventing commercial use of it. [07:25] IsambardPrince ECWOLF is selling their improved version along with Super 3D Noah's Ark from Wisdom Tree Software. [07:26] IsambardPrince Wisdom Tree licensed the Wolfenstein 3D engine from id software. [07:26] IsambardPrince I don't think id software really cared that Wisdom Tree made horrible games. [07:26] IsambardPrince By that point the Wolf3d engine was already obsolete and was never going to be used by id software again. [07:26] IsambardPrince Nothing on Super 3D Noah's Ark says anything about what engine it uses or id software. [07:27] IsambardPrince It wouldn't surprise me if id software made it a condition that they not mention it. [07:27] IsambardPrince Super 3D Noah's Ark plays basically like Wolf3d except that obviously it's a "Christian" video game for kids so there's no blood or Nazis or Hitler or anything. [07:28] IsambardPrince You play as Noah and you are going around a maze knocking out animals by launching pieces of fruit at them with a slingshot. [07:28] IsambardPrince It's bizarre. [07:28] IsambardPrince It's possible that ECWOLF will eventually play Corridor 7: Alien Invasion. [07:28] IsambardPrince I had that one too! [07:29] IsambardPrince I found it in the same bin. [07:29] IsambardPrince I think that Corridor 7 plays a bit better than Wolf3d actually. [07:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, Did you have Corridor 7? [07:31] IsambardPrince One thing that made the transion to Windows Me and XP so painful was the lack of rebooting into DOS. [07:31] IsambardPrince Major publishers were still releasing DOS games in 1998 and 1999. [07:31] IsambardPrince They just told you to reboot the computer in DOS. [07:33] IsambardPrince I spent a lot of time in DOS because about half my games needed it. I [07:34] IsambardPrince I always really hated XP because I had to figure out how to get all my DOS stuff working again. [07:35] IsambardPrince It usually wasn't a huge deal. There was an add-on program for the Command Prompt called VDMSound. The biggest problem with running DOS games was Windows wouldn't let them touch the sound card. I think VDMSound emulated an old sound blaster and passed it through to Windows. [07:35] IsambardPrince I liked Windows 9x in a "worse is better" sort of way. [07:37] IsambardPrince I noticed that when I gutted Windows 98 of Internet Explorer + Junk and Crap and reverted to the Windows 95b explorer shell with RoM II, and applied the few remaining hotfixes that were still applicable, I almost never had a BSoD. [07:37] IsambardPrince I've had such a Windows 98 system up and running for over a year before. [07:38] IsambardPrince But out of the box, as is, IE and everything, it was massively unstable. The retail version of Windows 98 usually crashed every day or two. [07:39] IsambardPrince Windows 9x had very small "resource heaps". Foisting Active Desktop and MSHTML into the shell caused horrible leaks. [07:40] IsambardPrince Eventually the computer would start doing bizarre things then crash, no matter how much free RAM there was. [07:40] IsambardPrince Window titles and menu fonts would turn into strange gibberish or disappear entirely. New windows would open as transparent, empty outlines with no buttons inside them. Scrollbars would turn into flat gray blocks. You'd get that infamous, terrifying error dialog: "The system is low on resources. Close one or more programs and try again." Blue screen or hard freeze within 5 minutes. [07:41] IsambardPrince Without IE and reverted to the 95b shell, this just didn't happen. I suppose it could happen but you'd have to work on it. I recall opening the system resource monitor and hammering away opening random windows. [07:42] IsambardPrince I held on the keys to spam the desktop with new Netscape 4 windows until there had to be hundreds of them and then it finally did it. [07:42] IsambardPrince But you really had to try.

[20:34] IsambardPrince It would cost more, it would not integrate with my Chromebook or PC, and it would turn my text bubbles blue on other iPhones. [20:34] IsambardPrince I mean that's a pretty steep downgrade.
