They are currently giving away 5 games. One a day for 5 days today is day 3. I just downloaded Robinson's Requiem. Day 4 is Dragon Breed. Day 5 is WarZone 2100.

How can I make them full screen games? I get a small screen box.
Posted 13 years ago # -
Tiffany, this happens because these are older games that were created with a lower screen resolution than is used today. You can always temporarily change your screen resolution to make make these appear larger. Depending on the game, it is also sometimes possible to modify it to make it appear larger or full screen. Sometimes this is easy, sometimes it is hard and sometimes it isn't possible.
Posted 13 years ago # -
Some old games toggle between windowed mode and full screen (or as close as they can) if you press Alt-Enter. Pressing it again, reverts back to windowed mode.
Naturally YMMV - depends largely on the individual games.

http://www.dotemu.com/en/download-game/69/drascula
John Hacker, mild mannered estate agent, arrives in Transylvania in order to finalize the sale of some land to Count Drascula. Once in town, Hacker falls in love for Billie Jean (BJ for short) who is kidnapped by a vampire just before his eyes. Completely shocked, Hacker forgets about his appointment with Count Drascula and begins a really tough journey to rescue his beloved BJ!
Surrounded by danger, romance, and vampire hunting, the question at that point is to know if Hacker will be able to save the woman of his dream or not… You think you can help him? It’s up to you!

I don't know how good or bad this game is, have just now downloaded it.
I think it's worth to keep an eye on this website.
They have a few free games - you need to register for an account. I did that some time ago - and they didn't send any spam.
I would like to get some more info about a game, e.g. the year of release, mouse or keyboard, dosbox, better reviews...Well, they are still developing the company. About Us

Some nice titles (e.g. Syberia), however, it's worth to compare the prizes. e.g. Atlantis Evolution seems to be cheaper at Big Fish.

There are some free games on DotEmu.com.
One of them (I haven't seen before) is :
Flight of the Amazon Queen
.
.

But the trip is not exactly happening as expected... After taking off from Rio, you crash in the Amazonian jungle.
Lost into wild and primitive areas of the Amazonian forest with your passenger, you will meet incredible people and discover amazing places in an exciting adventure like Indiana Jones or Monkey Island!Key Features
> A true jewel of the "point'n'click" genre... for FREE !
> Full-talkie version of the game
> Gorgeous pixel-art sceneries
> Hollywood-movie class scenarioIt's of the year 1995 and :
This game uses ScummVM software, which allows you to run certain
classic graphical point-and-click adventure games on modern operating
systems....
A copy of full ScummVM source code is provided within this package and
will be installed on your hard drive....

It runs fine on my Vista HP.

A number of SCUMM (the platform used to build this) games were released as freeware a few years back. Anyone that likes this type of games should check out the ScummVM site. In addition to Flight of the Amazon Queen you will find Beneath a Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Drascula, Broken Sword, Broken Sword II, The Feeble Files and Legend of Kyrandia.
DotEmu has some, but not all of these plus a couple of other (Warzone 2100 and Tyrian).

DotEmu are doing a daily games promotion from December 2nd to December 15th 2011 with one game a day at a special reduced price. Today's game is 'The Abbey' by Strategy First (released as 'Murder in the Abbey' in the USA), a several gigabyte download which is an adventure set in an old abbey with the entire medieval abbey, including secret passages available to explore and which has cartoony graphics and many great animations. Should be good for many hours play! It's a game of cinematic proportions whose suspense goes far beyond that of a conventional adventure game!
Price reduced today only, from 7.49 Euros to 1.50 Euros.

Darn, I wish I had seen this when 'The Abbey' was on sale! It looks like it's based on the book I just read, 'The Name of the Rose.' Also made into a movie, staring Sean Connery! Oh well, at least I know it's there now :) Thanks for posting everyone!
Oh yeah, 'Postal' is about as family friendly as 'Bieber Kicker'. Maybe even a little less so...
Posted 13 years ago # -
Just watched The Name of the Rose recently. An excellent film that I'll watch again sometime in the not too distant future. I love films based around pre 18th century stories. there have been quite a few released of late such as Barbarossa, Army of Valhalla (Polish), Ironclad, Henry of Navarre (French), The Last Legion, Solomone Kane, Valhalla Rising (virtually no dialogue), By the Will of Kenghis Khan, The Eagle and Season of the Witch, all excellent films.
I bought all the Postal games from GOG. There's a new one to be released in December called Postal III which you can check out HERE. Actually I've just dicovered that this game will depict real people (Celebrity characters: Super porn star Ron Jeremy, Village People Cowboy Randy Jones, Internationally hated film director Uwe Boll and Playboy Playmate Jennifer Walcott), so not sure how I'm going to react to this game.

This is probably a bit off topic so I'll keep it brief:
After doing some digging I found 'The Abbey', as mentioned above, is still being sold by the original producer but has been updated to the 'Director's Cut' which includes bug-fixes, optimizations, new puzzles, other stuff. Check the website; available for $9.99, or whatever that works out to in your local currency :)
