Re: [Retroism] Memorial Day Classics Sale
picked up Gunship! I so wished they had M1 Tank Platoon II available. I loved that game.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Nope, you'll need Xpadder for that.Doomboy wrote:Do they have gamepad support?
But these, if they are like the F-117 I got (also from Retroism) will run properly in Dosbox Baum which means it will have full Steam support including screenshots.

Re: [Retroism] Memorial Day Classics Sale
Oh well, thanks for the reply! Suddenly reliving a bit of my youth for a couple bucks becomes messing around with external programs that cost 10 bucks. I'll just play some more of Wings! remastered and hope that someday someone does the same with Knights of the Sky...

Re: [Retroism] Memorial Day Classics Sale
Xpadder is a VERY useful app that can remap much more than just games, though it was surely DESIGNED for games.
Most of these microprose games have too many buttons for gamepads any way. I came up with a workable one for Covert Action, but it's only usable in the "infiltration" game. And after a couple tries I went back to keyboard. It's more natural that way. I kinda miss those keyboard overlays.

Re: [Retroism] Memorial Day Classics Sale
Fleet Defender is a great hardcore F14 sim...only one I ever played that detailed not only every aspect of the plane (pilot and RIO), but also full carrier operations. Trying to fly a landing pattern and follow the ball to hit the three wire on a moving aircraft carrier was no easy task.
