    Hi guys!

    Well, following the old topic... I have a Personal Computer (IBM - Pentium
    1) running with MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 ... pretty cool setup. Played "Crusader, No remorse" last week, and was a blast :D :

    That sounds awesome.

    What is that game about?

    I was wondering how good that game was! I modded my ↓ceSega Saturn↓q1 like crazy with the ↓ceRetrobit RGB->HDMI adapter↓q1, ↓ceMclassic adapter↓q1, ↓cePseudo Saturn Kai↓q1, and ↓ceWireless six-button controllers↓q1. That game is something that I've been eyeing. I'll burn it and pop it in now that I've heard it's good.

    Just curious. What did you use to post this message. I see a lot of funkey characters.

    ... Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.

    I posted from my board, aBSiNTHE BBS. The funky characters you're seeing are Amiga CNET MCI, the equivalent of pipe codes on the PC. Mystic and Enigma 1/2 support them now, but it looks like Synchronet does not yet do so. If you're a coder, I can send over a reference table so you can whip up a quick translation
    script.
