But it also keeps the environments deceptively simple. Honest to the film on which it's based, it keeps those strange geometric structures, the odd slopes and shelves, and introduces one heck of a lot of crates. Its presentation is remarkably brilliant. Just spotting all of those is reason to play. While it's essentially a serious story, they couldn't have packed more puns and geek references in. Each element combines to form the larger plot, as you realise that the takeover of ENCOM by Future Control Industries is extremely sinister, and no good for you or your family. Monolith tells a good, solid tale, both through your experiences in the levels, the conversations you have with NPCs, the cut-scenes, and the emails you'll find when hacking datacubes. Combined with the Triangulation subroutine, which lets you zoom in sniper-style, it's perfect for both long-range headshots and close-combat bombardments. And all the other weapons don't interest me at all. And while Tron 2.0's disc doesn't quite match my all-time favourite - Klingon Honor Guard's Ding-Pach Spin Claw - it's still a real treat. Seriously, if a game puts a disc in that I can then re-catch, that's an extra score point right there. If you are running Linux, BSD, Solaris or Mac OS X, Wine will run most of the older Windows based software (and DOSBox).I love discs in games. Some titles may *mostly* work by simply configuring them to use a compatibility mode. Most Windows titles will need to be run through Windows Virtual PC under the appropriate version of Windows for full functionality. You can find an easy to follow DOSBox tutorial here. For DOS titles you will need to use DOSBox. The majority of these games will not run correctly on modern operating systems. If you are the copyright holder of a classic computer game and would like the full version of your work to appear in the archive please e-mail me at I'm also more than happy to answer questions and fill requests. Specific news regarding major updates can be found on our website Demu. New files are added to this collection on a regular basis. Where possible online play is enabled to enjoy the game directly in your browser. These files are the original releases which will require intermediate to advanced knowledge to install and run on modern operating systems. The files available in this collection consist primarily of PC demos, freeware, and shareware. Take a step back in time and revisit your favorite DOS and Windows games.
