Thanks arjOn! First three work great with your instructions, but demo 4 is not working no matter what I do.

Strange, since demo4 is just a win32 application and should therefor run fine from XP to Win10.
It might have to do with your system, for example your graphic card.
You might wanna try to update your graphic card driver...

BTW, when you try to run demo4, a file named ipscumm.log should be created.
This log file probably contain specific info on why the demo doesn't run correctly on your system.

[First:]

Have you managed to make them run? I can't do it on Windows 10.

Yes, you can run all 4 demos on a Win8 and Win10 machine. Below is how 

First:

• Demo 2 and 3 do require a DPMI server in order to run, download cwsdpmi.zip here
• The first 3 demos run fine using dosbox, the easiest way is to download and install D-Fend Reloaded (which is an easie to use front-end for dosbox which comes with a dosbox installation) and install it.

Then:
Indiana Jones - The fate of Atlantis II (demo 1) pathdemo 14-01-1999:

• drag 'n drop RUNDOS.BAT to D-Fend Reloaded, and run the game.

Indiana Jones - The fate of Atlantis II (demo 2) ipscumm11 14-01-1999:

• unzip cwsdpmi.zip and copy CWSDPMI.EXE to the demo folder
• drag 'n drop ATLANTIS.EXE to D-Fend Reloaded, and run the game.

Indiana Jones - The fate of Atlantis II (demo 3) beta6 27-10-1999:

• unzip cwsdpmi.zip and copy CWSDPMI.EXE to the demo folder
• drag 'n drop ATLANTIS.EXE to D-Fend Reloaded, and run the game.

Indiana Jones - The fate of Atlantis II (demo 4) engine 20-03-2004:

• should run fine in Win8 and 10, no dosbox and no DPMI server needed

Sorry, The links doesn't work for me.

There's a "v." in the folder name which shouldn't be there.
Go here and scroll down a bit for the DL's: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/releases/tag/3.6.0.6

Interesting

Interesting and enjoyable piece of reading, thanx for sharing and kudos on all the custom work on the project, Dual!!

Changing room is blocking, so no interaction is available during this event.

Note:
You can change the way a room change visually though.
Go to the Explore Project panel and find General Settings>Visual>"Default transition when changing rooms"
When selecting "Instant" for example you'll have the quickest way of changing rooms.

* The screenshot widget with changing picks does not work on my phone with duckduckgo browser - there is just a white space instead

Works fine for me on Android mobile (Moto G9+) with DuckDuckGo v5.88.0

* The main page is broken when reading the page on mobile in landscape mode - the top is cut

Confirmed, on Android mobile (Moto G9+) with DuckDuckGo v5.88.0 and with Chrome v91.0.4472.101 in landscape mode.
Portrait mode works fine for both.

You can create 4 bools and for each object when looking at it set the bool to true.
For the exit you can draw a region
When player stands on region:
- check with player.hasinventory if the player has taken the 2 object.
- check if all 4 bools are set to true.
If yes, exit screen, if not show response.

Nice stuff. One small nice-to-have:

Overview page:
As many titles are cut-off cause they are often too long for a tile, it would be nice to have a tooltip showing the full forum thread title when hovering over a tile in the 'THE LATEST FROM OUR FORUMS' section. Or have wider tiles and move the 'OTHER COMMUNITY CHANNELS' and the 'DONATE TO THE AGS COMMUNITY' sections below the 'THE LATEST FROM OUR FORUMS' tiles

Awesome!!

Tried out running Desolate which seem to run fine, except there's this 404 line showing up in the debuginfo:
(or is that 404 line simply related to the next line, the favicon which is not present?)

Excellent, congratulations on the release! 

The beta was so much fun to playtest, such a cool crawler!

Thank you, and good to see you enjoyed the testrides 

Congrats on the release.

I tried it: got some key codes, found a weapon. The monsters are managable so far.

However, I'm starting to feel completely lost.  Admittedly, I don't a have a great sense of orientation. But I don't think I'll be able to handle all these similar rooms without any color. Is there a minimap somewhere?

As Heltenjohn said, there's no minimap in the current game.
But, since some people get lost easily in a crawler game like this, the next upcoming v1.3 will feature a minimap

OMG, been waiting for this one!

Desolate has been released: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=59155.0

I'd like to thank:

Version update history:

v1.2 fixes:

• music was still audible when set to 0.
• pressing ESC during splash logo crashed the game
• character movement is again set faster

v1.1 fixes:

• removed testing message "doorcode vis so do nothing when pressed Return" which was shown when trying to open a door without using a code.
• character movement is now slightly faster
• When binding the letter 'y' in the redefine-keys-screen, the letter 'y' could not be used anymore for confirmations on questions like "are you sure you want to quit"

I have to play more of the submissions, just finished Telwynium and that one was awesome!

Can you trace back the name or the exact filesize of that AGS vox file and the game itself?
Otherwise there's not much change to find out the track's origin..

@Ben:
Thank you Ben! 
And good to see you're still lurking around here 

Yes, there are many awesome games on the TI-83.
Desolate was for me the most appealing one, I had a lot of fun while working on this version.

@Athanor:
I hope the music and improved enemy behaviour will work out well 
Also, the now redefinable keys should improve the user-friendliness level a bit.

Looks like bug hunting and fixing is almost done.
So the release will be soon 
Thanx for asking.
