I plan to buy a GUS MAX too.  Everyone please give me your opinions;  
I think if they are accepting preshipping orders of $179, the price 
will only go down from there, or stay the same for a while.  But if 
the some people who have more experience in this than I do think 
otherwise, I may go aheard and preorder one myself.

Please tell me what you all think.

HIRED GUNS is ok. The sound is good, but I don't remember it being very 
"3-D", but I haven't played it much yet. The music is very techno, but 
the graphics are somewhat lacking, due mostly to the fact that you have 
the screen divided up into 4 equal-sized squares. The game allows up to 4 
people to play at once (real time), and each character's view takes up 
one of the 4 areas on the screen.

The sound is great on this game, scares the crap out of you when a gunshot
goes off.  However, this is some kind of multi-player game, with the screen
divided into multiple segments, and the graphics look like some kind of
Amiga-port EGA graphics.

Subject: MegaEm, Windows enhanced mode, KQVI

Hi all,

I installed Megaem 2.02 (megaem202.zip) y'day on my Pentium, 66MHz Zeos Box.
I have 16MB RAM. I am running WFW3.11 (enhanced mode) and Dos 6.2.

The EMM386 manager is loaded with the -noems switch
I load MegaEM with the -noems switch, and emuset.
If I enter Windows everything is fine, however as soon as
   I exit windows, the system hangs. I see the same behaviour
   even if I remove the -noems switch from the memory manager
   and megaem.
The same thing happens if I start KQVI from windows. 

I think the problem is because megaem cannot handle enhanced
mode windows. I do not have a scsi controller on my motherboard.

KQVI runs fine if I do everything in Dos. However I get weird sounds
if I run the demos off the CD-ROM. I have chosen General Midi and
Soundblaster in KQVI.
 
What am I doing wrong??

Thanks folks,
Arun

Subject: mod med 669

Hi
Does anyone know where I can find information on the different types of
mod formats? I want to write a player, and that information would come
in handy. *grin* Also... what type of mod's are out there?
I know that the .mod comes in several different flavors... like
protracker, noisetracker, etc. The types of formats that I know are
mod (different flavors), med, mtm, 669, s3m. Anybody know of any others?

Thanks
Marek
