My book8088 died suddenly on me.
The battery indicator leds were blinking slowly, which means "battery charged"
And then it wouldn't charge until I put its charger on a different outlet?!?
It may need a new battery?
Or perhaps an exorcism...😞

This is Artic Fox on the #book8088
Runs pretty good at 8MHz but lacks detail.
Still not quite the battlezone I was looking for... Its much more complicated.
I found this looking for predecessors of Stellar 7 rather than descendants / clones of BattleZone.
It also has a Tandy 1000 version that looks better. There are youtube videos.

This came up on mastodon about a month ago: gentleOS
This is the 16 bit version running on #book8088
Loaded via .com file
Unlike a lot of app suites that claim the "operating system" title, this actually is. The disk image bins are loaded raw by the BIOS instead of DOS. It's a small stand alone OS with no mass storage or support for external anything, but it is an OS.
Plays a good game of mahjongg, too! 😉

Shamus on the #Book8088 !
Dos conversion (I think that means it was originally a booter?) from oldskool, works fine.
I have some history with the CoCo version of this. An original disk was in the CoCo stuff I bought from a guy who was moving on. But the disk was dead, and the Socorro Radio Shack had quit doing disk replacement. When I asked at another store, without the disk with me, all I got was a lecture.🙄 I eventually found it on the Net anyway.😝
Anyway this is dos version.

Shanghai works on #book8088
Importantly, it does support keyboard only.
And CGA's limit make it extra hard.
(This also includes pcjr version which probably looks much better on Tandy 1000)

Star Goose is not valued
But it runs on #Book8088
I'd never heard of this one. Pretty cool shooter though!
(To me the player ship looks more like a bug than a goose 🤗)

BattleZone from the oldskool archive works on #Book8088 !!!
Controls are weird though... ( When turning your tank keeps turning until you turn the opposite way? Yuck)
Also there are 4 hacks on, gonna try those too!

Apparently there is not an updated dosfetch.
🤗I guess I'll just have to stick with my CF card being -1600% full.😄

So back in like 2024 my book 8088 quit displaying green in text mode. Weird, and I could never fix it.
Meanwhile the supplies of book 8088s dried up... The builders have moved on to the pocket 386.
I don't want a pocket. The book format is barely big enough to actually use.
This year I decided to burn some of my tax return on a another book8088... And found none new. But I did find used one on ebay, so I got it!
"Used" ? Used once, maybe. It works and is beautiful!
