The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard

Great Game, If Only it had a good FPS

This is a great game. I never played it until now and despite the framerate, it's pretty good. The problem with the game performance comes from the emulation of VoodooFX's GLIDE renderer. Unlike most WIndows 95 games, this one was uses an engine that was built for DOS and adapted but not optimized for Windows 95. Natively, the engine runs in Windows 95 DOS mode with features from Windows added in like the VoodooFX GLIDE library. However, since we've moved passed the days of both DOS and VoodooFX it is almost impossible to get this game running at a good framerate. Like most software rendering modes, it just isn't compatible with todays technology. Heck, try running Half-Life 1 in software rendering mode and it will crash. This current port emulates the VoodooFX GLIDE library so that it can be at least somewhat playable. However, if you want this to run smoothly, you better get a vintage Win 98 (98's more stable) computer and put a VoodooFX card in it. Otherwise, this is the only way to get it working without having to re-port the engine code, which I assume either Bethesda lost, or GOG doesn't have the time to do a proper re-code, which could take months or even a year or two which is something GOG doesn't do anyway. But if you don't mind the very choppy framerate, this game is very good.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest

This is a great game!

Great game, especially the D-Day level where you storm the beach! This was made by the development team that would LATER go on to make Call of Duty. The epicness of it makes you feel like you are in "Saving Private Ryan", or other WWII movies. This is a must have from an era when WWII shooter were still cool, and Medal of Honor was still a quality shooter.
