Heyo all.
Regarding retro gaming again, some of my favorite ones were for ms dos. These include shareware only games too! So, some of them were Mechwarrior 2, I spent more time customizing mechs than actually playing the game, and would often listen to soundtrack on a cd player too!Other ms dos games of note, include wolfenstein 3d, I made levels and edited sprites in that game as a kid.
Doom of course too, fooled around with modding for it briefly and now I just play levels i find on doomworld and zdoom sites.
Stunts, a fun racing game where you could make your own courses. So much fun!
Quake, also endless levels and modding.
Monuments of mars, fun little 2d platformer.
Descent 1 and 2, great 6 degrees of freedom shooter. Played it online against friends a lot.
Duke nukem 3d. Infamous, but the level editing for it was so easy to do and game itself was pretty fun, especially playing with and against friends online!
Commander keen. Fun little platformer as well.
Skyroads. Great f zero style game!
Corncob 3d. Fun flight sim, you could even get out of the plane and walk wherever on foot.
MegatronVGA. Mech game where you fought mechs in a maze.
Sango fighter, fun street fighter clone.
One must fall 2097, great street fighter clone with awesome music.
Epic pinball, fun pinball game!
Lemmings, great puzzle game.
Stellar 7 and nova 9, battlezone style games that actually had a plot and powerups you could activate and hidden warps and other fun things.
I played all these games and more on a Radio Shack Tandy 1000. Great machine!

Ubuntu Linux 25.10 gets a rusty sudo, Firefox 144 learns how to profile, Cambridge wants to save the floppy disk, and DIY one-handed typing with Keyer.

Burning floppies is hard. I tought my USB drives started to die. Turns our it's just wild and old tech.
Long story short, I finally found the working command:
sudo dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/sdX bs=512 conv=notrunc,sync,fsync oflag=direct status=progress
This is the slowest but most stable way so far.

Found a stack of old #floppies while searching for a lost radio charger, including some #ThrustMaster software. --Wait, No! It's not what you think!

Today's pickups at the #fleamarket: an old breadbin #C64, plus #c1541 drive, IEC cables and a box of 5.25" #floppies, on the left another phat #playstation2 ("doesn't work" the seller said: will check what he meant later), on the right an Hitex HT-767 #famiclone (one with discrete chips inside!) plus a Kickle Cubicle #nes cartridge.
And one of my cats exploring: Cenerina. -
Happy #floppyFriday everyone! Got a new grab box of #dos #floppies from eBay recently, and excited to see what gems (or not) are in there.

In a reddit thread discussing an old Beagle Bros sticker attached to the default computery sticker location for every schoolchild -- the front of a floppy disk storage box -- a former tech support employee of the company chimed in in the comments and shared a nice little glimpse of the company from the inside.
Thanks, r/LlaughingLlama

Windows originally shipped on 5.25” floppy disks. Windows 1 came on 5 disks, with users having to remove & insert each disk, one by one, to complete setup. Later, higher capacity 3.5” floppies would be used, followed eventually by CDs & DVDs. More @ https://youtu.be/gwftLHz9H7Y! 💾💿 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows1 #FloppyDisks #Floppies
