DesertFOX<p>I just got back from work and found a fresh set of 5.25 inch floppy disks waiting for me. This is Maxis A-Train for IBM-PC from 1992. Perfect KryoFlux streams were dumped. I will upload both of them to The Internet Archive later tonight! 😉 </p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/KryoFlux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KryoFlux</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FloppyDisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FloppyDisk</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Diskette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diskette</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Maxis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Maxis</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DOSGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOSGames</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DOSGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOSGaming</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGames</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MSDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSDOS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/IBMPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IBMPC</span></a></p>

The eBox: A Tiny, Low-Cost DOS & Windows PC From 2008 - LGR
Tonight, I'm having an absolute blast playing around with Microsoft's Flight Simulator 4.0 and its "Experimental Jet Aircraft" from the "Aircraft & Scenery Designer" expansion.
Seeing this old game, which is so dear to my heart, running super smooth in full SVGA resolution and with all of this extra in-game content makes my inner 12 year old jump up and down from excitement! This is what retro gaming is all about!

I probably made a lot of people in Paris pretty nervous today, with my Learjet flying so low over the streets of the city. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure this scenery pack for Flight Simulator 5 works as intended. It sure does work! And it looks sweet!
Thanks again to @Telev for his generous upload! If anyone's into retro games and floppy disks, they should follow his account here on Mastodon and on the Internet Archive. This guy's a wizard!

Das deutschsprachige Handbuch der "Defender of the Empire" Erweiterung von TIE Fighter wurde inzwischen gefunden und gescannt. Ich hab's hier für euch hochgeladen:

Viel Spaß! 
Das hatte in meiner Retro-Sammlung noch gefehlt: Hab heute die beiden Disketten der deutschen "Defender of the Empire" Erweiterung für das Star Wars Spiel "TIE Fighter" bekommen. Was mir jetzt leider noch nicht zugeflogen ist, ist das entsprechende Handbuch dazu. Das vermisse ich bisher leider sogar in den großen Online-Sammlungen. Vermutlich selten. Mehhh.... muss ich finden. 
"Humans 3: Evolution" is a 1995 MS-DOS puzzle game which runs under DOSBox and has been preserved for retail by the fine folks at Good Old Games. The player must complete each level before a countdown timer elapses.
Stressful, right? Let's go ahead and fix this. :-)

i'm glad to see scott murphy left his mark on EcoQuest
Es hat mich tatsächlich über ein Jahr beschäftigt, aber ab sofort ist das IBM Betriebssystem PC DOS 2000 mit vollständigem, deutschem Handbuch komplett im Internet Archive abrufbar. Das sind insgesamt 686 Seiten in 300dpi, sauber gescannt und digital restauriert.
Bei PC DOS 2000 handelte es sich um die letzte offizielle Vollversion von DOS aus dem Jahre 1998, bereits mit sämtlichen Y2K Updates. Voll kompatibel zu Windows 3.x und Spielen für MS-DOS!
