DosBox turbo, DosBox Manager and GamePad (program review)

DosBox turbo, DosBox Manager (a sort of GOG look-alike) and GamePad has been developed by Fishstix.

The program can run on your android phone, ms-dos games and programs or you can program with your favorite dos based programing language. 

DosBox turbo is used as a command line. 

DosBox Manager for a ,,GOG shelf-type shortcuts" style. 

The GamePad gives you a different keyboard for your android system and a d-pad for you to use in game (up, down, left and right).

Cybersphere (review)


Game: Cybersphere
Developer: Clay Hellman
Publisher: PSYCON SOFTWARE
Year: 1996
Genre: 
Players: single hot-seat or vs computer, multiplayer
 
REVIEW :
The game reminds me of Arkanoid, a word which i always forget.
You move a paddle and destroy blocks.
 
For me at least, Cybersphere is more colorfull, has explosions and has a catchy electronic-cyberpunktype music, which you can listen, if you have and acces CYBTUNES.EXE
From 1996, the game is full.
 
DosBox turbo config :

mount d: /storage/sdcard0/dos/
d:
cd cybfull
cyber.exe

Controls :

Left and right using mouse/stylus (from dosbox input mode) to move.
Yes, i know, the battery is almost done ...
Double click to release a ball.

Cycles :
Auto

Asus Eee PC Seashell 1015BX netbook - Installing Windows 3.1

 

 

If you have problems in the begining and the external floppy drive doesen't see the floppy diskette, just restart, when you see a General failure error. 

Use the command a: to switch to A, where the floppy is. Use the command setup, to enter Windows 3.1 setup. 

Be sure you insert the floppy all the way in, or, like at the 00:53, it will keep looking for it until it is all the way in. Different floppy diskettes you will have to change.

The bios will still be available after instaling MS-DOS 6.22, by pressing ESC or F1.
