Every game of The #ChambersBeneath is different. A new city with a new ruler with a new quest, and all new dungeons every time you play. And you have only one life, so you may be starting afresh very often! https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Odetliy the Ranger is welcomed to the city of Jollancen by Sacillan the Tyrant, and asked to find the Goblet of the Ages. All of these details are randomly generated, and will be different in a new game. The city layout and dungeons will likewise be different.

Drifting off to sleep, I had a dream about #DOS game 'Links - The Challenge of Golf' (Golf month coming soon to @dosgameclub!).
'Torrey Pines - South' was the only course available in the game (I've only recently found more for dl). Never knew where it was - San Diego apparently, stay classy 😅

I dreamt I had stumbled across the course and been invited in, due to my #MSDOS interest.
"You love DOS? Hey, we were in Links! Come in! You can't play golf but here's the bar!"

Anyway, I'm awake now.

Fun fact... Microsoft's Flight Simulator v2.13 is actually bootable straight from BIOS, but you can also run it though DOS. It doesn't have a full FAT12 file system, but uses a small 59 Bytes pseudo executable. Such a precious artifact!

Tonight, thanks to @Telev, I finally got to take a look at a truly ancient release of Microsoft's Flight Simulator for the IBM PC. This is version 2.13 from 1985. It comes on a copy protected, single sided 5.25inch floppy disk. Let's just say it looks stunning! 😜

P.S. Here it is on the Internet Archive:

Have fun!

There are shops in The #ChambersBeneath where you can equip your character. It's essential to buy a weapon or learn a spell, and maybe pick up a little food before you descend, if you don't want to die in the first dungeon you visit. https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Odetliy the Ranger is greeted by Kecqua, owner of the ranger supply shop. Kecqua's wares are arrayed in the main window, and currently include slings, bows, arrows, lockpicks, ropes, nets, a snare and a quiver.

A closed door with a skull and cross bones on it. It is night.

Al no tener un OS que ofrecer a IBM, acaban comprando los derechos de QDOS/86-DOS a Seattle Computing Products (copia de CP/M), que a su vez licenciarán a IBM como PC-DOS y, posteriormente, a fabricantes de clones de PC como MS-DOS.

Esta alianza entre IBM y Microsoft forma una de las plataformas más dominantes en la historia de la informática, que acabará aplastando a casi todas las demás plataformas de PC en los años 80 y 90.

El 22 de julio nace la Alianza Impía (Unholy Alliance) la alianza que IBM y Microsoft forjaron para darle destino al PC-DOS y a la industria computacional en general.

Un pequeño grupo de ingenieros que desarrollaba en secreto la IBM PC , se reúnen con Bill Gates y Steve Ballmer, de Microsoft, para hablar sobre la licencia de software y un sistema operativo para la PC, aún en desarrollo...

Each one of these towers in the city sits atop a dungeon which may be many layers deep. You'll be delving and returning a lot to offload loot and to avoid dungeons that are too hard for you right now. https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #ChambersBeneath #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Odetliy the Ranger walks the city streets. The NPC characters superimposed on the houses are shopkeepers, indicating where shops can be found. The towers intersecting some of the streets are where the dungeons are located.

35-ти летний юбилей! Советский «Поиск-1» выходит в Cеть

Здравствуйте, уважаемые читатели и почитатели старинных ретро-компьютеров! Сегодня я предлагаю вам вспомнить отечественную ЭВМ «Поиск-1». Уклон статьи будет в сторону настройки сетевых параметров. Мы увидим аспекты сетевой конфигурации под операционную систему MS-DOS, попробуем ряд основных сетевых сервисов, TELNET, FTP, HTTP и подключение к BBS. Демонстрацию работы я представлю в виде видеороликов. На мой взгляд, будет интересно настроить сетевое подключение для такой древней, в хорошем смысле этого слова, машины.
