For best experience I recommend tweaking the dosboxMagicCarpet2.conf file. output=overlay scaler=none core=auto cputype=auto #(or dynamic) #cycles=auto cycles=max 75% limit 131195 #This gives roughly the performance of the Pentium 83.333MHz Overdrive for 486 systems. Much faster is overkill. This one line also permits the game to run on sub 300 MHz systems easily! blocksize=2048 #Maybe lower to 1024 prebuffer=80 #I suggest lowering this to 20ms or even 10ms! (80ms is far too much of a delay for audio). ems=true #Consider changing to false as DOS/4GW umb=true #Consider changing to false as above
Downloaded, installed and playing without a hitch in under 5 minutes --- thanks GOG and thank you Bullfrog Productions. Bullfrog are/were the best game studio ever. This game was up there with Doom (and sadly sat in Doom's and Quake's shadows). Awesome game, two thumbs up!!!
Pretty sure this also includes some classic 'mini' games, some that are two player. The Tyrian game itself is two player, one using the mouse... or it was. Good times.
