There is a guy that have packed a couple of films and a player to wuarchive.
The demo is named stisldem.zip under the directory pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/gamedemos.

James -- I had the same problem.  I've got a 486/DX250 running DR DOS 6.0
and I have a PAS-16.  Got the exact same msg when I tried to run GNBNA after
I had configured the game to use a Sound Blaster.  When I changed to the
AdLib, everything worked OK.  If anyone knows how to get GNBNA to work
with a PAS-16 (as a SB), I'd be interested in knowing.  Thanks

  I have seen a LOT of discussion about this Ralari mission... It has been
a long time since I played WC I, but this brings one mission to my mind.
In this mission you had to stop the Kilrathi from destroying a bigger ship.
First you would encounter asteroids in which some Kilrathi fighters attack
you. After that you fly to the capital ship usually only to see a Kilrathi
fighter release a missile etc. until it blows. Well... If I am talking about
this same Ralari mission, let me tell you how to win the mission.
  First. Don't use autopilot. Fly on manual, past the asteroids, in a wide
arc. Check your location from the navigation screen every once in a while.
This way you can approach the Ralari _from the same direction as the Kilrathi_
which means that you can shoot them in the rear. Usually this way you can
destroy the first Kilrathi before it can launch its missile (and this eases 
the mission a lot). Then just blast the rest of the furballs to pieces...

Seeing that there are a lot of audio card out here for games, I keep
wondered: is it possible to have a video card for games? There are
video cards out here specialized for Windows. Some of these card even
slow down video speed of DOS to favour Windows. So, maybe someone can
design a video card for IBMPC compatiables which is capable of boosting
games performance, e.g., to scroll several background in the same time,
draw object on a particular area, etc. Programmers are making use of
the existing ability of the hardware to write good games; they use
hardware scrolling and the digitized sounds, maybe someone can even
make use of the hardware zoom to make something like Super NES.

There must be a few good games out there than run in this environment.

I am having trouble with Wizardry 7.

All of a sudden my spellcasters can't cast any spells. They all have full
spell points and are fully rested, yet when I select any spell, even for
power level 1, all I get in the points to cast box is '***' meaning that
I can't cast that spell.

This is for all spells, all 6 types, al characters.

I am currently just starting to explore New City.

Anyone know if I have picked something up, or done something wierd or what ?
I have tried to call Sir Tech but their line is always busy.

Please reply by e-mail if possible as my news access ability is sketchy lately,
