Hi everyone,

we're really happy to announce the release of our new games collection!

It contains ten full games, both RTW and WA archives in ready-to-install-and-play packages, and tons and tons (and tons) of bonus material.

And we're kicking things off with a $5 discount. The whole collection is available for just $34.95!

Check out the main page for more detail: http://www.midnightsynergy.com/collectiondvd

And expect a new Midnight Post in the next week.

Have fun!

Yay.

Woohoo!

Posted: **Tue Oct 16, 2018 9:41 pm**

Awww yeah.

I'm expecting to order this one come next month. Mainly because I nearly lost my currently old digital copies of the Wonderland games through the laptops I've had. But IIRC, they are now polished for Windows 10, am I right?

Very exciting!

How exciting! Hopefully these are still available early next month when I have a bit more cash!! I’d do ANYTHING to snag one of these!

Gotta order it!

I just have ordered the Collection but I do not see the link for direct download.It is supposed to come with a delay?I am very very hyped to have non-Wonderland games!Thank you in advance!

EDIT:It was just a delay.Cheers to Patrick for dedication!!

It does come asap, but it may take a few minutes of course (possibly longer, if it's an international transaction and e.g. the credit card verifcation takes longer). If after an hour you haven't gotten the receipt email and the link email, check you spam folder, just in case.

Ordered! I already have pretty much everything including the old disc. I just hope the wonderland prototypes are unseen

Did I read that my mod(s) are on the disc :O

Also MS, I sent you an email on September 18th about a project I'm working on and never heard back. Did you get the email?

Posted: **Wed Oct 17, 2018 8:57 pm**

Let me check, I'll send you a PM right away.

Cool!!
I'm so happy to see that Midnight Synergy is still alive, haha!
Gotta order now!

ALL MY YES

I have ordered and received my downloads and CD. I am running Windows 10 on a new HP laptop and keep getting an error message that my 3D graphics driver is not functioning when I try to launch Wonderland Adventures and Mysteries of Fire Island. Any ideas on what driver I should be looking for to download? I am so excited to be able to play these again. Originally purchased in 2003 and have recently retired. This would certainly help pass the time!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

What I can tell is that you should install all vc_redist packs(all years).I can play on window 10 all Wonderland games with no problem.
The answer is doesn't directly adress your question but is worth trying.

Thanks! I will retry. Where do I find those files?

You find them for free on the microsoft site but they need manual installation.They are for 2003 2005 2007 2009 2011 2013 2015 and each year with 32 bits and 64 bits arhitecture. My advice is to download a multi installer and install everything and search for a full package.
These are really important because they have dll's (special files) that help you run older programs.
If you have any problem search google or even PM me.

Thank you!

You are welcome!!Have fun!!!

For a shorter method, try using the DirectPlay feature in Windows 10.

I had one Wonderland contact me with a very strange error message on Windows 8.1... have not seen this before, and it seems to happen with a number of installers for her. I'm guessing it's some Windows setting that's not setup properly. Has anyone else seen this message before (with any game or application, not just Wonderland), or has a guess at what the issue might be? Thank you in advance!

Could you get her to get us an OldTimer's List log?

I'm sure that such type of errors occur due to incorrect Windows settings. There's is still some more information needed. You can ask her to follow tyteen4a03's advice of getting a log from a system scanner.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get those.

Posted: **Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:33 pm**

My CD just came and I can say I am really pleased how it looks!!Anyone who didn't get it I encourage them to buy it!

Posted: **Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:18 am**

Oops I've missed the discount.

Since I've already got the previous CD and all of the games, I'll wait for the next discount.
BTW, I'm eager for Original Soundtrack for Wonderland series.

If you have the classic trilogy, then you already have a lossless copy of its soundtrack. The games play the source files themselves. They're among the many res#.dat files. If you open those with a module tracker like OpenMPT or a music player that supports such formats (I think I recall VLC Media Player being one of the few that do), you can listen to the music in its original state. If you want to listen to them with a program that doesn't support module tracker music, OpenMPT can also convert them to conventional audio streams, including lossless formats such as FLAC.

Aha, good point! Thanks a lot.

I still want a physical release or digital album.

Umm... I thought the soundtrack in MP3 form was one of the bonus features of the original disc collection?

Posted: **Sat Feb 23, 2019 3:27 pm**

Yes, but it's far from lossless. The MP3 format already doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to quality, and to make matters worse, these MP3 files have a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps. Audiophiles would consider such a level of quality unacceptably poor.
