Hypersnap DX is top notch for Windows. For DosBox -the built in function. For pure Dos - an old freeware version of Screen Thief.

Yes, contact Kosta. And refer to Painless FTP tutorial for further step-by-step instructions.

That or VThief.I have found that you can get some lock up errors while Screen Thief is loaded into the memory

I would like to post a request for an old title that I unfortunatly don't know the name of, only it's content. I hope someone will be able to get that "Aha! I know that one"-feeling when I name it's content.

The game i'm speaking of is from the mid 90:s, a turn based strategy title with a science fiction setting. You play as one of several different factions with different attributes. I think the game had a hex-based overhead map, but i'm not entirely sure about that. A big part of the game was diplomacy, with alliances, assasination, trade and the like, but since it is a strategy title, warfare was of course the main ingredient.

The most memorable thing I can recollect was that when you end your turn and all the other factions end theirs, you get illustrated reports of the different events that have occured. For instance, when someone got assasinated you see a fat man laying dead in bed with a female assasin (that I do believe was bald too). A lot of other images were shown too, which was one of the things that made the game so memorable (if only the title was as well).

I hope someone has any ideas about what this game can be because I have scoured through many abandonware-sites to find it and i'm getting kinda tired of it

[_r.u.s.s.]

hmm it's a wild shots but could it be master of orion, master of orion 2? supermacy or ascendacy? or maybe reunion?

Old windows game released in 1996. True gem if you ask me, although there are many bugs even after several patches. Based on popular board game.

Now, although game is old one, you can only download a demo and patches on the site of Holistic Design (creators of the game), but I don't see that game is sold at all. Actually, it seems that only interest Holistic Design has is for the original board game (and their official site seems inactive for couple of years).
I checked the net and found only people selling their own original used packages. I presume that game can be treated as abw but I would like for someone else to check it.

Also, game is for Win not DOS, but I'm guessing that it is not really a problem.

If game is abw, I would supply review and shots

thanks
