The Astérix Gaming Guild: retro-asterix

Stinkek

I think I might be guessing, but it's a board game where players take turns, it's basically couch gaming (up to 4 people can play BTW)

Stinkek

In theory this could be played via Parsec, but I don't have DOSBox at the moment, I played in the one built into a website

yarnfang

I meant as in modding the game for onlnie play... Mostly said as a joke.

yarnfang

Would be nice though.

Stinkek

You mean, like, gathering up with random players who search for a game?

Stinkek

Also I tried playing as 2 characters, but it gets confusing keeping track of their inventories

yarnfang

Was more so thinking direct connection like you did with old RTS games.

yarnfang

Do want to try to parsec it one day though that would make timing based mini games worse for the clients.

Mr.Rubinshtein

every friday game night of Asterix Caesars challenge with community

Mr.Rubinshtein

game for whole family = game for whole community

Stinkek

Everyone who lags despite the host's 800x600 resolution and 30 FPS is out of the question

Mr.Rubinshtein

lol

Stinkek

Although they may succeed in questions and reflection minigames

Stinkek

I tried changing Parsec's settings via the text file to HOPEFULLY make it more friendly with poor connections, but I can't test it on my own (the resolution and framerate here are lower than the lowest options offered by Parsec)

Stinkek

Got DOSBox and the DOS version of Caesar's Challenge. Getting it to work was easier than I expected

yarnfang

Nice!

Stinkek

I had to emulate a disk image and direct the emulator to it so it's like I play with a physical disk except not really (this is the case for some 90's to early 2000's Windows games I have)

yarnfang

I remember having to do that with some old games as well.

Mr.Rubinshtein

thats the case with all asterix games from retro age
