![]() The goal of the TOSEC project is to maintain a database of all software and firmware images for all microcomputers, minicomputers and video game consoles. The project has identified and cataloged over 450,000 different software images/sets, consisting of over 3.60TB of software, firmware and resources. TOSEC catalogs over 200 unique computing platforms and continues to grow. The main goal of the project is to catalog and audit various kinds of software and firmware images for these systems. The Old School Emulation Center (TOSEC) is a retrocomputing initiative dedicated to the cataloging and preservation of software, firmware and resources for microcomputers, minicomputers and video game consoles. The collection includes a broad range of software related materials including shareware, freeware, video news releases about software titles, speed runs of actual software game play, previews and promos for software games, high-score and skill replays of various game genres, and the art of filmmaking with real-time computer game engines. ![]() This is a down side as it means anything you do needs to be save continuously as you go.DESCRIPTION The Internet Archive Software Collection is the largest vintage and historical software library in the world, providing instant access to millions of programs, CD-ROM images, documentation and multimedia. However to save a game you must get back to the `church' (a job in itself if you don't have maps) and then it costs you money to save setting you back in terms of progressing further into the game. My main problem with it is that it gets quite samey for a while so I'd rather be able to pick it up for short times. The driving/walking game play is quite fun even if the view makes for confusing controls until you get the hang of it. In later stages you get ruthless special agents (who WILL kill you instead of arresting you) or in the final stage, martial law is declared and it's impossible to avoid the military for long literally every street is full of soldiers and tanks. In the first level the basic police presence will be added to by SWAT teams unless you lay low for a moment to let the heat die down. With the mission difficulty increasing so does the problem the police pose. For example when a gang hates you but they're armed with pistols then no problem, but when they've got machine guns etc then just driving past a crowd could find your important vehicle destroyed. The jobs increase in difficulty and depending on how some of the gangs feel towards you can become more difficult. ![]() Most jobs involve stealing cars, pick up this, pick up that etc but it is all still enjoyable. The basics get a bit samey but are still entertaining. Personally I am not going to go out and commit crimes simply because a game with an overhead view allows me to do it that is a game and this is real life .just cause I still play video games as an adult doesn't mean I'm a child! Outside of the controversy this is an enjoyable game. I bought this game cheap for PC, years after all the controversy raged. Alternatively you can start a one man crime wave and steal cars, run down people, shoot gang members, the public and cops. Each job pays big but also bring you to the attention of the law. You can work for any of the three gangs but first you must get respect by either carrying out minor jobs for them or by inflicting damage on one of the other gangs. You are an independent crook in a corrupt city. ![]()
