Lighthouse

[Paul]

Has anyone played Lighthouse by sierra. was one of the first games i ever played, thought it was really good:)

lost the cd by now...

sad

[ferris]

Nope I haven't, but I enjoyed King's Quest VII by Sierra.

I don't play many computer games...but my favorite has to be Myst.

That looks a little bit like Myst. I haven't heard of Lighthouse, don't really get chance to play that many games tbh. Dunno about everyone else

[Clyde]

Thats just what I was going to say; with Myst I didn't have a clue on what you were supposed to do. I had it on the Sega Saturn.

What's lighthouse available on and like Paul dude?

[Paul]

Lighthouse is allot like Myst but probably slightly easier. I played it when i was like 8-9 years old with a friend and my dad helped when necessary. It was only available on win 95 i think, it's supposed to work with xp in compatible mode but i cant try as I've lost the cd like i said.

Will it run under DOS?

There is a new version of dosbox out.

[Paul]

  yay hurray, after hours looking for it, i found the cd.  

instaling now
not working on window 2000... trying on xp

and yes, shokwave it should work under dos

Can't get the shit to work

[Shockwave]

Cool, if it will work under Dos then you could try this;
DOSBOX

[Paul]

ive got the game in my cd folder never played it though, when it comes to games like myst/broken sword/discworld im always ready to give em a try i love adventure games.

anyone ever played an old game called toonstruck with christipher loyd in it it was great he was in a cartoon world and you had to save all the toons from a bad guy.

i must say though i prefer the old 2d versions of these games now theyve tryed to jump to 3d it just doesnt work for me.

[Shockwave]

Never heard of toonstruck, that's a new one on me!
I have been playing Xcom a little bit lately, I just can't get the sound working under dosbox.. The game works ok tho.

[benny!]

Hmm ... I think I heard about Lighthouse ... never played it though ...

At that dos pc gaming time ... I mainly played two games ...

One was an horror-/mystery adventure coming on 4 CDs AFAIK. In the beginning
you entered a spooky house and it really gets more mysterious the longer you
played it. Had a fantastic atmosphere and real-life video sequences.

The other game was a mechwarrior-clone - very action based.

Sadly I cannot remember their names   

[Paul]

Haven t tried it myself but http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/ should get the sound working better with dosbox

[Shockwave]

Thanks, I'll try that.
