Hey Scorp, could you move this thread to the Gaming Section. Thanks.
I have it backed up onto my hard disk, just in case it is lost.

Moved!

I was gone awhile, just because of an increase in pain. It makes it hard to sit at the computer. I can feel I am losing control of the leg muscles as the nerve damage happens in the lower back. I am resigned to be in a wheel chair.

I have found alot of replacements for dead links and added some new links.

I added some links for Lucas Arts. I don't know how I missed them before.

Links for Monkey Island and Outlaws.

Sorry to hear your getting worse dbuske, I hope that things work out for ya.

Good job ob the links, thats some good stuff in there.

The 7th Guest

I found DirectX player that plays the game without the annoying pauses while moving.
Here is the link to the player. You can also get it through my Retro-gaming
links. http://www.computerhope.com/download/games.htm#10

Install the game in windows XP. Use the command prompt and you get there by going to start button-programs-accessories-command prompt.

Start up the command prompt. Put your 7th Guest disk into the CD drive.
Then type install.bat
The command prompt will run the install progam without flashing off fast.

The install disk is Disc #2. You can play the game with disk one.

Once the game is installed put the Beta player you downloaded into the game directory which by default is "ID".

Put disk #1 into the CD drive than run V32tng.exe.

Use Alt-enter tomake the game full screen.

Here is the readme from thr DX Player:

Beta player for The 7th Guest for Windows 95/98/NT

The files included are:
N_CRED01.VDX
N_CRED02.VDX
N_CRED03.VDX
N_CRED04.VDX
TRILOGO.VDX (optional)
Vielogo.vdx (optional)
mss32.dll
v32tng.exe


To install:

* Extract the files to your 7th Guest directory
* Run v32tng.exe


Note:

To toggle between windowed/full screen modes
press both the ALT key and ENTER key at the same time
and release (ALT-ENTER).


DISCLAIMER: The DirectX player for the 7th Guest is a beta version, and
thus should be used at your own risk. Trilobyte makes no claim or
warranty to said program. It is not the full version of the game; the
original version is required to play.

If you are experiencing problems with the DirectX player, please send an
email, with details about where the game is installed, what kind of machine
you have (Processor, Memory, Operating System (Windows95/98/NT), etc...),
and as complete of a description of what happened as you can, to
directx@tbyte.com.

Install Hexen 2 normally and then patch it with the 1.11 patch. http://www.gamershell.com/download_4562.shtml

You have to clean out the Hexen 2 files. Here is the link to the readme for that: http://www.quake-engine.com/download.aspx?game=hx2
Here is the actual text:
Patching Hexen II
This section applies if you do not have the mission pack.
Firstly, you need to make sure you have your copy of Hexen II is patched to the latest official version.
If your version of Hexen II is not version 1.11 you need to run the patch file "ph2v111.exe".
If you do not have this file, you can download it from the UQE website. (http://www.quake-engine.com)
Once you have patched your copy of Hexen II to version 1.11, we can go to the next step.

Secondly, you need to "clean" your Hexen II game, by removing all old files.
We are intrested in the root folder, "/hexen2/", aswell as the game data folder "/data1/".
In the root folder, "/hexen2/", delete all files including the game EXE files, leaving only the following original file intact: "uninst.isu".
In the game data folder, "/data1/", delete all files including any CFG files, leaving only the following original files intact: "pak0.pak", "pak1.pak".
If there is a "/portals/" game data folder, delete it completely.

Theres one more cosmetic thing we need to do:
If you have already run GL Hexen II, there will be a directory named "/glhexen/" under your "/data1/" directory.
If the directory exists.. delete the "/glhexen/" directory.

Once this is done, you may continue and unzip to effectively install and upgrade your copy of Hexen II to UQE Hexen II to your game's
root "/hexen2/" directory.
When this has been completed successfully you can go ahead and enjoy UQE Hexen II !!

Do the above than download UQE Hexen 2 1.13 http://www.quake-engine.com/download.aspx?game=hx2
Just install the game engine into the prepared root hexen directory C:\hexen2 or whatever you named it.

Enjoy.

It works really well and removes the interlacing of the video and you can choose to install the whole game on disk.

It is a good GK resource.

Theres some great old stuff here Dan!! Good work!!

When I get time Im going to go through this more thoroughly. One thing I did spot in there was DosBox though. I've always had a bit of a nightmare getting that thing to run well. Do you recommend any good front-ends for it?

If you guys have a favorite older game you would like me to find resources for, let me know. New utils to allow playing it on new computers, updates, patches, mods etc.
It is fun for me to find these resources.

PC games only please.

I found a site that has new hi-res textures for any version of the original Unreal.
http://www.unrealtexture.com/Unreal/Unreal.htm
Just copy the new textures over the old ones.
ENJOY!

Unreal was one of the first FPS games I really loved. The graphics were so impressive when I first played it. I remember being blown away by the atmosphere of the opening scenes and the reflection of my character in the polished floor inside the prison ship.
