It's okay, I don't mean to be snippy. We've just had a lot of people posting their list of owned games in here, but I think the intent of the thread was to post games you have but haven't played.

A bit pedantic of me really.

That would be my fault then. I really should wait until I've gotten some sleep and able to pay more attention before I post.

Don't worry about it. Your list was a good list, it's not like it did any harm.

Is this the same as the conventional Frontier: Elite 2? ...Except for that it's been ported to Windows?

Now that I got the point to this thread, I removed the list I had posted. I don't actually own a game I have not finished.

Clearly then you need to buy more games.

Basically yes. It's the orginal game decompiled and ported to C using SDL and now runs on any SDL capable platform in ridiculous high resolution :)

 :D No worries. I actually picked that up the other day, so I can officially add that to my back-log.

I've actually got quite a few DOS games which I've not neared completing, so that should be a fairly extensive list. TFX is a rather neat old sim; the manual I got for it is in text format so some of the instructions aren't terribly clear. This makes learning how to do certain things exciting... I really wish there was a way to crank up the resolution or the detail levels, but I've not see any way to do that. Games like that are just so old that...

I picked up "Beneath a Steel Sky" for free from GOG a while back; I've not actually downloaded it yet. I don't play too many games now-a-days, though I do have quite a few.

I'm curious, how did you enhance the resolution? I tried to start playing around with this the other day and didn't see a way to boost the res...

there seems to be a --size option to set the width of the screen. i figure it assumes a 4:3 aspect ratio. kinda wish it would do 16:9 though.
