Check out the trailer…it looks like they managed to take the best parts of Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. Wii (minus the multiplayer) and combine them into one solid new title.
Thin client + 5Mb Internet connection = no more $1500+ “gamer rigs?” For now, it’s just a demo, but I’ve been hearing this was coming for a few months now. The best part of the whole thing is that if this takes off, one of the main reasons home users still use Windows will be GONE.
Wow. This guy wrote a NES emulator in, get this, Javascript. Yes, Javascript. You’re going to want to give this a try using Chrome, though…the JS engines in other browsers will only give you about 5 frames per second (compared to 50+ using Chrome!).
How to get Transport Tycoon Deluxe to Run in Windows 7
Update 16 FEB 2010: I’ve noticed that this post ranks very highly on Google for “Transport Tycoon Deluxe Windows 7” so I decided to write a new post detailing how I actually play Transport Tycoon these days: with the excellent open-source remake OpenTTD, which runs on Windows and Linux. My new post is available here.
If you’re trying to run the classic simulation game “Transport Tycoon Deluxe” in Windows 7, you may get an error upon startup when the game can’t find dplay.dll. Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-directx-directplay4_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7100.0_none_e80363be14f8ec68(substitute your Windows installation path for C:\Windows if necessary). - Copy
dplayx.dllto your Transport Tycoon installation folder. - Rename the new copy of the file to
dplay.dll.
Dosbox is a DOS emulator that lets you play your old games on Linux, Windows, Mac, etc. This tutorial shows you how to auto-mount your DOS folder so that it’s ready to go each time you fire it up.
If you don’t know, I’m not telling you.
Once Axl finally released Chinese Democracy, they must have known it was time to put up or shut up. It’s sad that they chose the latter.
