  1. You desperately want to play a classic version of SimCity for the IBM-PC or Commodore Amiga, but you don't want to use these ugly and unreadable, red copy protection sheets?! - Fear not! Here's a way better version of those "All Time High Scores" in clean black & white!

  5. Oh, wow! There were so many different versions of SimCity graphics sets! Ancient or Future Cities… US, as well as European editions… Versions for Amiga 512K or 1 meg. The IBM-PC versions were also released on 3.5“ or 5.25“ diskettes. And, I guess, there were Macintosh versions, too. I personally only have these 4 boxes.

  9. Using software written in 2026 (by @colin_mcmillen) on a computer released in 1983 to extract digital photos from a digital camera released in 1994.

    Apple QuickTake 200 connected via serial to my 128K enhanced Apple IIe (video output via composite to CRT and to LCD via VidHD video card) with "large" volumes mounted via CFFA3000 flash storage card.

    The 640x480 camera images (JPEGs) are decoded and scaled for display in the double high-res graphics mode at 560x192 monochrome pixels. Just lovely.

  14. From 1991, here are both of the SimCity graphics packs for Commodore Amiga. "Ancient Cities", as well as "Future Cities" for the 1 Meg Version of the game. Of course, you need the main game to use these. 😎

  26. LucasFilm's "Passport to Adventure" from 1990 is still one of the coolest demo diskettes ever made! This 3-game sampler package for EGA DOS includes unique dialogues and new things to discover even for retro gaming veterans. There's even a crossover moment between Indiana Jones and Guybrush Threepwood! 😎

  35. Nice! I just discovered there are a several IBM-PC floppy disk images within the A2R flux collections from "Sketch the Cow". I really like the "AppleSauce" format and its Mac OS software client.

  39. I always find it super interesting to look at the floppy disk image collection from TotalDOSCollection and its folder sizes. Each year's size gives you a very acurate idea how games on floppy disks reached their peak in 1993/94 and then quickly vanished.

    Yes... 110GB of floppy disks! It's crazy! These collections are so precious! :computerfairies: 😎
