Aquest any fa 30 anys que ens arribava "The Terminator: Future Shock" per "DOS" 🕹🎮.

I just found this interesting #Perl script which acts as kind of a #telnet #gateway, accepting incomig telnet connections and then starting #dosbox with your preferred #bbs #software (e.g. #Telegard) so that you can run and access old #DOS #bbs #programs via your #Linux host:

Funnily enough this immediately gave me inspiration for a new (yet to be written) follow-up to my 2014 post about #QuattroPro for #DOS spreadsheets.

Back then I declared those obsolete because no modern application was able to read them.

Fast-forward 11 years, and @libreoffice calc appears to read them without any problems at all!

3️⃣ Die Regierung Trump versucht eine Art Denial-of-Service-Attacke gegen den Internationelen Strafgerichtshof #ICC in Den Haag. Unter Strafandrohung wird gestellt, wer «finanziell, materiell oder technologisch» den ICC-Chefankläger #Khan unterstützt. Dazu gehört auch seine #M365-Mailbox, die er nicht mehr nutzen kann.

Dass dies das Vertrauen in die Verlässlichkeit der US-Big-Tech-Unternehmen untergräbt, scheint ihm wohl egal. Auch wenn deren Chefs ihm Millionen gaben

We've added a newly uncovered #PC #DOS-era prototype today called ShelShock from Finlay Munro. Possibly a pitch for a game or just its engine. Think Damocles, but with mouse interaction and a village to explore. Now preserved at Games That Werent:

With a huge thank you to Mark Greenshields for allowing us to preserve.

FreeBASIC is a free/open source BASIC compiler for Windows DOS and Linux

I'm off hiatus on my blog! I don't expect the new pace to be as regular as we saw over the last year or so, but it's probably going to take a month or so just to put all the toys I found *during* the hiatus to proper use.

This week I'm taking all the DOS stuff I wrote for Turbo C years ago and seeing how OpenWatcom can handle it.

I'm feeling the nostalgic lure of old MS-DOS games again. I may give the Gold Box D&D games another go. I don't think I've played any of them in ~15 years.

Last time, I used a hex editor to modify my characters. (Cheating, to be clear.) It was rather clunky & not intuitive. A lot of trial & error was needed.

But check this out...someone made an online tool to do the dirty work. Very cool!

Yesterday I spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to move the fleet in an old #DOS game called #CarriersAtWar (1992). The game lets you take command of one or more strike groups made up of ships, aircraft carriers, or ports.

@aakoskin in fact, I'm currently hosting @Wintermute_BBS - my #Linux based BBS - natively (it's MBSE BBS) on a RPi 3 due to the fact that I use #Qemu to provide #DOS #Doorgames ... it also works on the RPi1B but it takes 5 minutes to boot to the actual doorgame ...

So I 3D printed a design that I thought would make for a fun pin to put on a backpack or laptop case....but so far no one I've shown it to has recognized this logo instantly...feeling old today.

KiloLISP ( t3x.org/klisp/index_d.html ) by @AverageDog is a 13KB #SchemeLang / #Scheme -like #Lisp for #DOS / #MSDOS / #FreeDOS / #DOSBox providing only symbols and pairs as datatypes. What's not to love?

As I was testing the mouse support I got an idea for a small game that I could include with the OS. It will justify the need for that support in keyboard/text-only driven system.

Here are few test sprites and how it could look like. Your cursor will be changed to that animal, you will leave the trails on the ground (more and more) and you need to avoid the mop that is trying to clean the floor.

Do you recognize what I was inspired by? Are you that old? ;)
