Series Coming Back! Organizing the Office

I've been finally getting life together in order to work on other projects. I also left so many projects half done but I am so ready to get back into them. It's crazy how life can sometimes just take you out of your funk, but it's the way you get back up and fix what was wrong that will take you to the next level. Anyways, I do these posts with the will of doing something more. My blog is everything to me as I've had it running since 2007 and that's a long time. A lot of things you thought were gone will return. I have learned that there is more to retro games than just collecting them, you also need to enjoy them and I've forgotten that over the years. I have been setting up my office and room for this to become more of a reality. I have been talking to a friend for months about this ordeal. I feel like I'm just hoarding games, and it'll be a lot better if I actually end up enjoying them, that's what the whole point of it is after all. I have everything almost ready. It's time to take off!

Bio Menace for DOS

This is one of the games I've been itching to play and always challenge any of my computers to try and run. I had a run in with this game back in the day with my old Packard Bell computer which couldn't run the game back then so I make it my goal to get it to work. The problem with my old computer was that there was always a problem with the memory. Now, some of them don't have that problem at all and even though I changed the config.sys to open memory, it still didn't worked. I have used the guides to open memories even on these old computers but don't actually get it to work. It still bothers me to this day some 25 years later...
