Dos Story
The mod nobody asked for.

This mod downgrades Cave Story to feature 3-bit RGB graphics and slightly worse sound. Along with a slightly different framerate.

Features include :
  • Bad quality
  • Bad time
  • Bad memes
  • Bad modding
  • ...and much much less!
All for the low price of your ears.



Everything is intentional, this is supposed to be a broken mod. (then again, I'm just lazy)
Have fun!
Warning : The EXP crystals are loud.

0/10, not terrible enough, the graphics and the sound effects aren't as bad as you tried to make them.
  • Bad memes
I've yet to encounter any, I'm thoroughly disappointed

also some sounds were unchanged from the original game, like getting an item or something

Damn! You tricked me into thinking this was a mod that turned Cave Story into the MS-DOS command prompt, which I would have loved.
Maybe someone should make a legit Cave Story MS-DOS port? That would be awesome.

So what is this mod? It's Cave Story -- but I can't read anything because the text-box's background is transparent. Thanks a lot.

Other than that I think that the original version of Muri is much more ear destroying than this.

Oho. I remember pressing that button on the title screen and hearing the sound so many others would hear... Except they wouldn't suspect a thing.
Truthfully I get ear-raped a lot. Maybe I need therapy...

I love to listen to music on my phone at maxed volume all the time. My ears were ringing, BEFORE, I loaded up Muri.
the sound effects in Muri didn't really bother me.

Haha, I kinda go numb to them after a while... But never the selection noise.



P.S. Why did you put so many commas (,) here?
-- ringing, BEFORE, I --

@zxin I didn't feel any pain when I played it.


I'm pretty sure the message box shouldn't be transparent, are you running it in 256 color mode?

Also, bad memes in the next patch, I promise.

OK then.

Eh? No? How do I do that?
The color for the background of the message boxes is 0,0,0, which turns into transparency in the game.

Also, bad memes in the next patch, I promise.
'Dere fukin' bedda be!

Also in the next version can you make all the filenames a maximum of 8 characters long and in ALL-CAPS?
Because I'm not feeling the DOS nostalgia enough.

Well, your computer should automatically be set to 256 colours unless you have windows 95 or something.

I'm going to make a video about this, and when I do, I'll edit this post to have a link (because I'm not desperate for a higher post count). I'm going to guess that this is going to not be exact to DOS, but on the other hand, I shouldn't really expect it to be.

EDIT: Video link

Dude.
Just wait until Atari Stori.

That shouldn't have any effect on Cave Story detecting weather or not a color is 0,0,0 and making it a transparent alpha channel...
