i am blown away by this german rpg (with full english translation) that has been around for decades, and i somehow never heard of it until now

Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome (2003) is as close to an Ultima VII followup as we'll ever see in my opinion.

www.mobygames.com/game/40423/t

i was initially crushed when i saw that the developer closed their site, and did not allow any registrations/purchases of the game - and the demo was the only thing left available.

mercifully, some digging revealed that the developer *very* kindly provided a free download of the full version of the game in a secret area of their site:
www.teudogar.com/private/index

important: the zip password is Password

A screenshot of Teudogar, showing two characters in dialogue. In the background is an isometric-ish perspective, showing a faux-teutonic world. Man: I want to till my soil in peace, and perhaps wage a raid in Gaul every now and then, or raid a neighbouring tribe's settlement once in a while. But war against the mightiest of all peoples? The player named "tester" has conversation options: till soil, raids, alliance with rome, war against romans, bye

caligari truespace 4.0 source for win9x

as released by the scene group Revolt in 1998

this is not my release - just my archival work. the source for truespace has been hiding in plain sight for 25+ years. having exhausted all my known avenues for finding an "official" seal of approval from the publisher, community-based preservation is the only possibility now.

the story: apparently someone from Revolt went to caligari's public FTP server in the late 90s, and found that an employee had left the full source for TrueSpace 4 in a /pub folder. it was released on BBSes and on IRC in the late 90s, and disappeared from the internet soon after.

doing some research on TrueSpace - truly the best piece of 3D modelling/rendering software aside from Bryce in the 90s - i stumbled upon a brief mention of the source code in an ancient usenet post. tracking down the release involved searching the *exceptional* scenelist.org NFO database, and trying to figure out the exact filename of the warez release.

SCiZE, the scenelist.org owner, did not have the files on his BBS. fortunately, he knew exactly where to find the release: it was buried in the massive 500GB "ibm-wgam-wbiz-collection" on IA. knowing the exact filename made it so much easier to track down in there!

so, have some fun with it. this doesn't belong on github or any publicly scrapable source site. just download it and let's see who can manage to compile it first :)

see the instructions in revolt.nfo for extra help on compiling

This is the source code made by Caligari! YES this IS the REAL SOURCE!! All of it! All of the trueSpace4 source code has been made in MSVS97 I'm pretty sure it will work with MSVS98, although if you don't have VS9X I would suggest getting it if you would like to use this code..

PSA: If you're using Windows Backup with a network share to backup your Windows 98 SE retro PC, it'll stop at 4GiB and insist you swap disks and won't be appeased by moving the .qic file from the far end. Probably best to partition your drive into volumes of 4GiB or less for simplicity, FAT32 or not. (And leave compression on to ensure there's enough room in the file for the backup metadata.)
