Let’s see if I can work out what to do here! 😆

A photo of a Sony Bravia flatscreen 4:3 TV showing the playing area of the game SimTower. There is a large window which is the main playing area, this has a blue sky, earth at the bottom and skyscrapers in the distance. At the top left is another window showing a similar view but smaller, an even smaller window with some controls and anther wide window at the top with a clock, a star, funds amount and date.

I booted up this old PC earlier and installed SimTower fine… but the PC had a bit of a mare starting up this evening. All good now, though. Time to revisit SimTower for the first time in something like 25 years.

A photo of a flat-screen 4:3 Sony Bravia TV displaying the title screen for the game SimTower. There is a 3D render of a tower foyer with ‘SIM TOWER’ above the doors. There is a sign to the right saying ‘CREATED BY YOOT SAITO’. There is also a menu at the centre with options for New Tower, Load Saved Tower or Quit. L

Since @fuchsiii constantly had these "Great, what broke now?" - moments when #debugging and working on making #RetroGames from 1995-2005 just work in #Wine, I decided to start making a nifty little tool so it's easy to verify differences between "known to work" and broken systems and thus triage the issue aka. find out who to yell at in forums and bugtrackers!...

Feedback and contributions are appreciated!

After all unfck is meant to help people #unfck the problem!

Game I still need to try: Neverlooted Dungeon. Cool looking fps dungeon crawler. It has a demo with Windows and Linux versions on itch.io: https://wildmagegames.itch.io/neverlooted-dungeon-demo

An example of why I love DOSgamert (Bart's) channel on YouTube, I just found out about this awesome looking PC game from 2010 called Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds from a video of him playing it a few days ago. (And it's a sequel, I gotta go play the original too!)

See the screenshot below-- the game is top down and you're a ball of goo. You gobble up all kinds of things to get bigger. It reminds me of Bubbles in the arcade or Katamari, which are two of my favorite games. There's even a free demo of it!

Just curious: Is there any way to play those Windows games KISS Psycho Circus and BLOOD on Linux? I use my laptop with DOSBox for DOOM, Wolfenstein and others. But I wanna play those 2 games, but not with Wine, I cannot configure it easily. I want something easier as DOSBox
Any advices?
