I just received the new Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X headphones for my Mac mini audio setup at home. With their detachable Mini XLR cable, they are a nice upgrade over the classic DT 770 Pro. I also love their overall look and feel!

I just did a quick revamp of my gaming corner at home. It's not that big, but I think it's comfy! I'm also really enjoying my new Secretlab TITAN Evo gaming chair. This is the Witcher Edition. 😃

Es hat mich über ein Jahr beschäftigt, aber ab sofort ist IBM's PC DOS 2000 mit vollständigem, deutschem Handbuch komplett im Internet Archive abrufbar. Das sind insgesamt 686 Seiten in 300dpi, sauber gescannt und digital restauriert.

Viel Spaß!

If you always wanted to check out the legendary "Commander Keen" games for MS-DOS, here's your chance: I just uploaded all three episodes of "Invasion of the Vorticons" to the Internet Archive!

This is version 1.34, from 8/7/91.

I managed to extract a perfect KryoFlux stream from the protected disk! Also, the resulting "CT RAW" disk image plays perfectly fine in the latest WinUAE Amiga emulator.

Great success! 😜

I just unpacked this... an Amiga classic from 1987... everything looks really nice... "complete in box". Now, let's see if it still works! 😄

About Architecture 1+2 for SimCity on the Amiga: I'm still bewildered why the only version present in official Amiga disk collections seems to be v1.2, which won't work with SimCity 512K?

They do exist:

Here's another gorgeous set of floppy disks for a classic DOS game. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" in a 16 color EGA version. This was released in 1989 on 6 x 360K, 5.25 inch disks.

Wow! Windows 386 is so much more usable now in 1024x768 SVGA resolution with 256 colors. Yes, I finally found a working graphics driver! And also "yes", I have nothing better to do at 3am on a monday morning! 😉

Everyone seems to hate MS-DOS 4, but I think it's pretty neat. I like the oldschool MS-DOS Shell with its file management section and all those crazy colours. I also enjoy the fact that it plays nicely with Windows 3.0 and the 386 Enhanced Mode.

Here are some 80s classics: "Hellcat Ace" & "Spitfire Ace" for the IBM-PC. These games from 1984 are booters, so they did not bring along a file system, but booted directly into the game.
