The Sensible World of Soccer has a special place in my private games ‘Hall of Fame’. Here is how it looks in the DOSBox config file. When you add /f flag to the Sensible World of Soccer binary then it starts in full graphics mode and the ‘ S‘ letter has now solid grey color on the back and lines on the field are also antialiased now. The lines on the field are also not antialiased. When you start the game without any switches then it starts in low graphics mode which is easy to spot on by looking at pixelated/dotted ‘ S‘ logo on the top right corner. Keep in mind that some games – and Sensible World of Soccer is one of these games – have more then one graphical mode to run them. % ffmpeg -i ~/.dosbox/capture/sws_eng_001.avi -vf "fps=30" -loop 0 This is the ffmpeg(1) spell that I used to convert the DOSBox made AVI file to GIF file. The DOSBox also allows you to easily record both audio (into WAV files) and video (into AVI files) with keyboard shortcuts.įor example I have recorded replay of my Sensible World of Soccer goals this way (then converted it to GIF using ffmpeg(1) for this). I also like to play first Settlers game and Theme Hospital occasionally. My favorite DOS (originally from AMIGA) game is Sensible World of Soccer. The DOSBox configuration files are in the dosbox dir on the same repo – – here. You will find them all as games-* scripts in my GitHub repository – – available here. I also made script wrappers for each game so I can launch them quickly both from command line or by using dmenu. Also keep in mind that if you will start dosbox in ~ (home) dir and not in ~/.dosbox~dir then dosbox will creates ~/ file (in your home dir) instead of proper ~/.dosbox/ place. % for I in /usr/ports/games/*/pkg-descr do echo $.map file (its ~/.dosbox/ as of time of writing the article). Here is the one-liner that you can actually copy and paste into your terminal. I assume that your FreeBSD Ports tree is under /usr/ports directory. ![]() ![]() You can get nice description for each of these games (from the pkg-descr file) by using the below command. Here is the Table of Contents for the article.ĭiscussions and comments from ‘external’ sources are available here:įirst we will start with ‘native’ games on FreeBSD – as of today there are more then thousand games available in the FreeBSD Ports collection. Today I will show you some oldschool gaming on FreeBSD system. They are often games from the past and some of these games just do not age … they are timeless actually. I do not play games a lot, but when I do I make sure that they are the right and best ones. When was the last time you played a computer game? I really like one of Benjamin Franklin quotes – “We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” – he lived in times where computer games did not existed yet but the quote remains current.
