Four of the most important parts are:
  • Joystick
    (from Keen's brother's Nintendo video game) for manual flight control
  • Car Battery
    (from Keen's mom's car) for electrical systems power
  • Vacuum Cleaner
    reworked as an ion propulsion unit
  • Everclear
    (from Keen's father's liquor cabinet) alcohol for fuel

OK if i am that young (which i'm not) then you must still be 9/12 years old yourself!
... So if I was 9 1/2 (or 9/12, I guess?) back in the ezBoard days, that makes me still the same age now? I had no idea PCKF had only just moved. ;)

These are the most, but not all of my DOS games and mods.

Excellent. Good that you have Fire & Ice. Now all you need is
Word Rescue
Star Control (except that I never was able to find the proper sound settings)
Sango Fighter
Skyroads
Mystic Towers (just for the title theme)
Gladiator
Cyberdogs
There was also an old DOS game called Gorilla (I think?) which was very much like Ikari III (NES) but haven't found it yet.

Ah yes, DOSBox, I loved that game as a kid :dopekeen

In all seriousness that looks quite like my collection, I'll have to look into some of those I don't recognize from yours

Any ideas as to why the colors look a bit off here and what could cause that?

Perfectly normal for that kind of display. Let your monitor warm up for a few minutes. :p

OK I've followed your advise and heated up the monitor with some fire for a few minutes.

Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem.

Well that's the problem Roobar; you're supposed to log off first. Look at all those logs. :P

Why are so many posts in off topic on topic? Is this some new level of being off topic?

Well, I don't want to post a new topic only for these and I don't know where to put them other than that place, so I'm putting these here.
