User AvatarTrying to submit a DOS game written last year, which targets old hardware.... apparently, with 2011 as the year of release, the system requirements sheet drops most of the values relevant to this game:

- the "Minimum CPU Class Required" pulldown doesn't have "8088 / 8086"

- "Video modes supported" lacks CGA, PCjr, VGA (tweaked), etc. (anything other than text modes)

- most sound devices (PC speaker, general MIDI, Sound Blaster and so on) are missing

....and so on. If these options have "expiry dates", or upper limits on the year (beyond which they can't be selected), I suggest that these limits be removed - it makes little sense to prevent retro / oldschool targeted games from being entered correctly, after all.
User AvatarUnfortunately the system is built to have end dates on all tech specs, it's not something we can remove except by setting them very high. I've changed the ones you mentioned, let me know if there are any more that needs to be fixed.
User AvatarI see - alright, the ones I needed are all in there now. Thanks!
