Or use DOSbox. In fact, the win95 version might be more of a problem on some newer OSs. (at least 64-bit ones)

man, that's not a very good friend, lol!
I believe it came with an issue of Next-Gen magazine.Quote:

(it did better with 3-button controls than MiG-29 or F-15 II did with 6-button, although I do think it could have been significantly more fluid with a 6-button option -lack of rudder is annoying, 2ndary weapon select outside of pause menue would have been nice too, maybe 2-button throttle controll as well)Quote:

This is how I got my PS2 Slim, Half-Life, The Thing, Tombraider Anniversary, and God of War I & II for free.
I also ended up with The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition, Sonic Mega Collection, SSX3, and Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex for GameCube.
Not a bad score, all told.
I remember getting it to play on the computer my parents had, but the audio was low and muddled.Quote:

Also, my parents bought me a Master System for Christmas one year. They checked it out and then went back to the shop to complain about the "missing" Sonic game, not realising it was built into the machine. Due to similar lack of knowledge on the shop manager's part, I ended up with a surplus complete copy of Sonic as part of my present. :) Shame I didn't leave it sealed, really - probably be worth a bit now :p
Wow , The 7th Guest. I remember how much they hyped that stinker. OHHH scary puzzles!
I remember being freaked out at "Myst":
a. Because there was nobody else around in the game.
b. Bigger cause was probably because I played many a adventure game on the Apple //c and in all those games something/someone would try to kill you.
nope, it's awful. Seriously, play a ROM. The gameplay is slower, the colors make no sense, the gameplay is clunky, it almost feels like a damn pirate! If you want Super Street Fighter II perfection, either MAME it or get the Toodles Capcom Fighter disc for Dreamcast (bootleg, google it).Quote:

Now, if your time isn't worth anything, I guess you could call them free, lol.Quote:

Waw!?
[edit]
Now that I think of it, it might not actually be a promo copy, but just the original version without a case. Doesn't matter really, it's a fun addition to my collection either way.
This loser I used to be friends with had a history of giving away good stuff for free. So one day when I was hanging out with him I came upon a few of his old Sega games. I said...."can I buy those from you"....he said "just take them"
So thanks to him I got Lightning Force and Twin Cobra.
What a dick....
Japanese speaking Engrish spelling the word "wow".Quote:
