DOS Classics: Realms of the Haunting

	Duration: 437 seconds Upload Time: 07-03-18 04:28:46 User: boilerplate :::: Favorites
Description: A mix between Resident Evil and DOOM, Realms of the Haunting is one of my all-time favorite games. It's a crying shame no one has ever heard of it. Coming out in early 1997, not too long after the rise of DIABLO's free multiplayer and the the first stable hotfix of windows 95 (Making it the defacto standard OS and pushing DOS out forever), poor old Realms of the Haunting was forgotten. Notice the FMV. One of the very last games to do FMV, and honestly, I think they got it right. What do you think? As far as FMV goes, it wasn't too shabby. Game shown running in DOSbox .70 Comments now locked due to *some* people and their smart a** comments.

TEHFAT ::: Favorites Ooh, I recognized a corridor and suddenly remembered that I've played that game a little. Now I really want to get it, and Under a Killing Moon too. Looks like it runs quite well under Dosbox, what are your system specs? 07-03-19 07:54:47 _____________________________________________________
boilerplate ::: Favorites CPU: AMD FX-55 Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX RAM: 2 Gigs Windows XP Pro. I'm currently going through this game again, and I'm slowly remembering stuff. Made it to the part on CD2 where you find the mumbling statues. 07-03-19 16:29:52 _____________________________________________________

JihaDildo ::: Favorites I downloaded this game from The Underdogs [it's freeware nowadays) but I can't get it working. What is this DOSbox? Could I get ROH working with it? 07-03-24 21:20:21 _____________________________________________________
donguido2 ::: Favorites Excellent game. I played it years ago when it came out. A sequel wouldn't make much sense because of the ending, but a remake would be nice. Replace the FMV with in-engine cutscenes and spiffy new graphics. 07-03-25 22:50:09 _____________________________________________________
boilerplate ::: Favorites Wow, Underdogs is hosting a 2.5 gig file? Holy crow! Here I thought the guy running that site was almost broke. Anyway, yeah, DOSbox can run 99.9% of the DOS games out there. I'm running it on DOSbox .70 in this video. No tricks or config silliness either, it just straight up works. 07-03-26 02:12:19 _____________________________________________________

FendersRule ::: Favorites One of the best DOS Games, if not the best dos game ever. No wonder, it's from Interplay. 07-04-04 20:53:02 _____________________________________________________
AdrianShephard ::: Favorites Damn, Ken Silverman ain't got shit on this engine. 07-04-11 09:00:46 _____________________________________________________
boilerplate ::: Favorites Well, to be honest, I think this WAS made with his Build engine...albeit a little modified. Sort of like how Jedi Knight 2 was made with the Quake 3a engine. By 1997, I imagine they were stretching it to the limit. I need to take a video of Rebecca in this game. She is absolutely smoking hot. 07-04-11 12:40:48 _____________________________________________________
glaive2004 ::: Favorites I absolutely LOVED this game on it's initial release (well, maybe apart from the 'find the brains and stick them all in the machine' section)...and to this day I think ROTH has possibly my favourite ending of any game, and (at the time) was BEGGING for a sequel... Ah, well... 07-04-15 17:30:40 _____________________________________________________
