Cruisers are medium-sized combat ships with a good attack range. They're useful to add extra power to naval battles, and to bombard ports and other land units from off shore. They're slightly slower than destroyers. cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Cruisers are the more powerful units in this battle.

Characters with more brains than brawn will want to seek out the magic wand on the first level of the #Ossuary. It adds +2 to intelligence, *and* makes intelligence the stat for attacks. Get the game at cyningstan.itch.io/ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga #zxspectrum
Back on level 1 our hero found a wand. This is useful for characters whose intelligence is greater than their attack strength. The wand is enlarged in the inset.

Happy to finally have found (at a reasonable price), an IBM PC Convertible model 5140 computer. I had the normal non-backlit display but this one has the backlight. Yes, it's not great but it was perfectly fine for the era.

This is a picture of an IBM PC Convertible computer, model 5140 with optional backlight. It is running IBM PC Convertible introductory software that IBM put out to become familiar with your new purchase.

Rescue missions are subtly different. With multiple hostages to find, some of whom have useful skills, you can recruit the hostages themselves to help. You also score per hostage freed. cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-c... #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Finding the first hostage in a Rescue mission. The scout peeked through the door and retreated, which is why we can see the hostage and their kidnapper currently not in the line of sight.

Destroyers are the smallest sea combat units. They have little firepower and a short range, and are lightly armoured. They can navigate deep and shallow water, but they can't navigate too close to the sandbanks. cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Destroyers form the main part of this fleet.

The Hostage mission has a clear focus: find the named individual and get them out alive. Hostages need to be cut free; if your team doesn't have a blade you'll need to find one. cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-c... #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Entering the location for a Hostage mission. Hostages look like team members but are depicted without a weapon. The hostage in this mission is yet to be found.

The Plate is a fine and costly dining vessel made of precious metal and gemstones, found down in the dungeon. Sometimes a particular plate is the object of your quest. Get The #ChambersBeneath from cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers... #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Lanera the Warrior meets Eanerk, Lord of Cechedri, who tells her that the city has lost the Plate of Might. Plates are one of the four treasures that can be the object of your main quest. You might also find plates that aren't the Plate of Might - make sure to identify plates that you find - you can sell lesser plates to the Merchant. A plate is shown enlarged in the inset.
