Subj: Suggestions of OS/2 Games for a 4-year-old "Assertive" Girl

From: driven zen <drivnzen@netfeed.com>

Hello group:

My 4-year-old granddaughter, whom I am describing as "assertive" to make
it clear that she might like a simple action game, is staying with us
for almost three weeks.  At home, she is used to a panoply of Win 95
games, some of which we've bought for her.  However, I run only OS/2.  

Here is a list of a few that I have downloaded and installed, most of
which are far too complex for her:

$Sheriff 
Chomp
DirtyDots
Entrtain
Letters
LitesOut
MakMan!2
Math
MicroLearnDemos
PhotoTigersGame
PMttt
PMWorms
PsyDemo
Reversi
REXXpong
Ribble
RollBall
SemMusic
TIC
Toyland
Whack
WTris
Zapped2

Some of these, "Whack" for example, must be run on a bare desktop to
prevent damage to other parts of the system.

I welcome suggestions of OS/2 games that might be appropriate for her.

TIA, 

Mark Henigan
(who considers writing a new macro something of a game)

One that you can download and have 100's of games is MAME.  It's at
http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/.  You have to search to find ROMS for
it (there are a few that are public domain now that should be available
at most of the MAME sites).

I think I had a mistaken impression about the types of games in MAME.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll check it out.

Hello Michael:

MAME looks very interesting.  My 25-year-old son will also want to use
it.  However, finding the ROM code looks like a bit of a challenge. 
I'll keep pursuing links and look through the newsgroups for clues about
finding the games themselves.

Thanks very much for the suggestion!

Be sure to also check out KidStuff. It's brand new and I've seen it at
Warpstock. I think it's a really great 
suite of programs and games for little children. It has all : color, sound,
animation, music ...and it's 
designed so they'll learn from it too. What more do you want?

It's at : http://www.oops-web.com/KS/KStuff.html

The second link on the "Links" page of the MAME for OS/2 home page should be a
great deal of help.  Also, the soon-to-be-released beta 10 comes with Pong!

Drilling Billy might also be suitable for her  (I know that I like it)
:).  The demonstration can be downloaded from www.bmtmicro.com.

If you get into MAME, you might also check out Stella, ColEm, and 
MasterGear.  I've not updated them in a while, but they work quite 
well for playing the old console games. 

For Stella (Atari 2600) I find games with Smurfs, Snoopy, Bugs Bunny,  
 and many others.  Minor word of caution - there were a few adult 
titles made for the Atari so you'll want to check 'em out before 
letter your granddaughter play.

For ColEm(Coleco Vision) I find games with Cabbage Patch Kids,  Dr. 
Seuss, Smurfs, and others.

For MasterGear(Sega Master System/Game Gear) I find games with Daffy 
Duck, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and others.

Very suitable.  I bought it at Warpstock last year for my nephew(he

Here, on my web site, you can find a little database to automatically 
install a lot of dos based games with OS/2 install migration utility.

Subj: MAME for OS/2 version .36 beta 10 is available

From: Marty <mamodeo@stny.rr.com>

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

It allows you to play up to 1876 classic (and some not-so-classic arcade
games)
from the 70's through the 90's from the comfort of your OS/2 desktop.

The OS/2 version has been updated to the latest version of the MAME core (.36
beta 10).  If you are upgrading from beta 6 or higher, it will automatically
update your Quick List and scan for newly supported games the first time you
start it up so you don't have to manually rescan everything from scratch and
erase your Favorites list.

I took some time to fix several bugs and annoyances this release.  The
following items have changed since version .36 beta 9.1:

* Updated to MAME core version .36 beta 10 
* PONG is available to everybody!!!!!
  ** NOTE:  You must disable the joystick to use this game.
            There is a bug in the MAME core causing the
            joystick to block out keyboard input and not
            function properly.
* Fixed a stupid, STUPID, bug causing a crash when the ROM 
  search path is changed.
* Changed the DIVE initialization code slightly to (hopefully) 
  work better with some ThinkPads and other hardware with 
  flakey DIVE support.
* Fixed a bug that caused changes in the joystick settings to 
  not immediately take effect in the middle of a game. 
* Fixed a bug causing games with looped samples (like Galaxian)
  to stop playing the samples when the game is unpaused.
* Got rid of a few ugly error messages in the Debug.Log when 
  the game is paused and sound is enabled.
* Tweaked the Quick List dialog screen to give the window focus 
  to the Favorites list by default.
* Fixed the startup sequence when using a game name as a 
  command line parameter so that the loading status screen gets
  the window focus while it is loading.

As always, you can download the latest release from
http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com.

Enjoy!

Subj: Odin Application Database

From: "Adrian Gschwend" <nospam_ktk@netlabs.org>

Some days ago the Odin Team at OS/2 Netlabs released the first public
alpha version of Odin since the code is open source.

For those of you who still don't know it, Odin and Odin32 is an
approach to get Win32 support in OS/2 (it is no emulator!). The
homepage of the project is located at http://www.netlabs.org/odin/

We are very proud to say that the project made great progress, a lot
more applications are running with Odin actually, especially slim
programs. A lot of Odin users reported applications, which are running
on OS/2 without problems, for example:

- Acrobat Distiller 3.01 (PDF-File generator)
- SmartDraw (Chart designing program)
- CDRLabel (CD labeling application, even printing works very well)
- WinHelp (Help system of Windows)
- Word 6.0 for Windows NT 3.51 (32bit edition)
- ... and more

One of the very promising applications is Lotus Notes R5, we are
already able to start the application, you can find a screenshot of it
at the Odin page (it's mentioned in the "News" section). As you may
know we also working on a port of the Opera webbrowser to OS/2. With
Odin32 we can actually compile the whole V4.0 Win32-Sourcecode without
significant changes in the code.

If you are interested in our progress, check the Odin application
database at http://www.netlabs.org/odin/MiscApplications.phtml
You are also welcome to add your application to the database!

For impatient users we have daily builds available, note that we don't
support any of the Odin versions actually because progress is changing
almost every day. We are not that much interested in bug reports
because of this reason.
But we still need more skilled developers, the more support we get the
faster we are! If you think that you can support our project, get more
information about how to join at the Odin page.

That's it for the moment, thanks for all the support so far!

Adrian Gschwend
and the whole Odin Team at OS/2 Netlabs

The game is a Jump & Run about a little boy, Billy. You have to walk
around and collect things, but you are hunted by different fruits
(bananas etc.). Billy carries some tools like a drilling device with
which he can dig holes into the platforms so the fruits will fall into
them. It's a bit like Lode Runner, but very cute looking and without the
sound of breaking bones etc.

Any chance that the European CHESS program "Fritz 5.32" would work with
Odin. The 5.16 version (on the same disk) runs fine under OS/2 4.0.--Aaron
