After some experimentation, I found out that the best cycles values for me are 20,000 - 24,000 at most. Higher values caused severe sound stuttering and other problems.
For Wolf 3d and SoD, however, I deliberately keep cycles lower, to avoid the well-known problem of pushwalls going further than intended.
At the time I was using Windows XP and I had to push the CPU Cycles up to ~ 26 - 30,000 cyles. I think it played smoother than how it looks in the video. However, DosBox is alot better under Linux with better performance and less issues in my experience.
@constancenoring - I am using Windows XP as well. So far I usually used between 10,000 - 20,000 cycles for Wolf-engine games (I thought sound might get choppy at higher numbers), but I will try your suggestion too.
@constancenoring - Completely unrelated to the comment I am replying to, but why do you go the hard way to get the machine gun and bazooka? There is a fair easier way where you get the bazooka first and then you easily waste the green guys. Just wondering...
@doomsd46 True, in veteran there are 5 S. Troopers inside that secret room, and before I found the other way I tried killing them with my RAW. What a nightmare ! lulz
I used to shoot everyone, because I liked to hear them die... as screwed up as that sounds... it was funny back then, and it's funny now.
I was... 6? 7? when I first played this. Back in the day... this was futuristic, and as advanced as Wolfenstien 3D, and I thought 'games can't get any better than this'.
How wrong I was.
I truly believe that they should remake the Wolfenstiens, and Blake Stones, and other great games of the past.
when i was a kid, i was afraid of the high energy plasma alien, because there was a hall, where they came from 2 directions, and no mather how many you killed, new ones were coming. good times :) nice vid
hell yeah I remember playing this back in the day! unfortunately all I played was the shareware version. anyone know where I can download the whole thing?
Okay someone help me here, how in the hell do you play this once downloading it? I downloaded it and winrar opened to I tried to extract...no idea what the hell to do. Any help is appreciated. Just send me a message. Thanks.

Fine, but why are you not playing on the hardest skill level? Walkthroughs are supposed to be played on the hardest mode possible, because they're meant to help players who have trouble winning the game.
This game is classic! Except I can't play it on my laptop. Two reasons; I have Windows Vista and I'm not exactly sure how to play it and I don't have a Sound Blaster so my music doesn't play. GREAT game though! :D
Hey there, there's an alien thin in this that makes a freaky sound, strange request I know, but any chance anyone knows how I can get hold of a rip of that sound?
I remember that on Veteran Agent, this game is insanely hard; meeting those Star Troopers around the 5 minute mark would have meant instant death then.
The sound when you pick up a gun is so epic.

@AlexeiVoronin Yes, depends on your system and what programs you run in the background (Firewall, AV etc)

Wolf 3D and SoD play really fast and smooth in DosBox, but Blake stubbornly keeps being choppy.
What configuration did you use while recording these videos?
