Very cool, tho the sound emulation is terrible... (EOB was the first game i played with a soundblaster, lol)

 

Most games there you cant play fullscreen and use ESC, or most other keyboard commands... (let alone a mouse)

 

Full Game List: https://archive.org/...ort=-reviewdate

 

Lots of great games there there, but very few actually run well emulated, you are better off Dling the normal versions in reg dosbox (with cracks):

I've replayed some of the old Gold Box games using DOSbox; they mostly run okay, although there is the occasional hiccup and timing issue.

I tried Eye of the Beholder, made a party and got killed by the first creature past the door. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to attack! O_o

 

FP!

The manuals for these old dos games can be found in many places, for example here for the eob manual.

 

FWIW, I bought a 3 cd set that has most of these old SSI games on them and the only one I can't get to work is menzo... manz... Dang that drow one.

Westwood Studios/Virgin Games Dune II - The Building of a Dynasty/The Battle for Arrakis works fairly well too...

 

 

(The worlds first Real-Time Strategy Game, still has yet to be topped by its progeny or predecessors)
