Arena and Daggerfall, Downloads and instructions Options

[mirocu]

This link go to full versions of both games as well as the DOSBox needed to play on modern machines. I haven't used these specific downloads myself so let me know if there are issues with them.

Arena
Daggerfall



ADDENDUM: If you think the game runs remarkably slow, there is a fix. Hold down CTRL and then press F12 to a point where you think it performs well, three or four times should be enough. If you think it suddenly goes too fast then hold down CTRL and press F11 to slow it down again.

First problem; the game froze when I was about to talk to someone. No biggie though, I ctrl-alt-delete my way out and restarted and it all worked on the next attempt.

But by god! Is that a human being or did my graphics card just crash??

IIRC Arena was made to run in 320x200 or some crazy low resolution so you could actually have colours. That does tend to make for inadequate detail. DosBox gives you some interpolation options that can make it smoother, but sometimes that just makes it look weird. You need to experiment with the scaling modes until you find one you like.
