  1. The Warhammer is a large blunt weapon for smashing enemies, requiring Bludgeoning:5 skill. Damage caused to enemies is based on the player character's Strength. It is especially fun to use the warhammer in upper and middle level dungeons, where it allows the player character to bludgeon their way through enemies as if the enemies were not even there.

  2. On the second level of Conveyors, even the guards are helpful. They push the cards onto conveyor belts for you to pick up, and play no further part in the game. But you must be quick: if you don't pick up all the cards in time, they will be carried into the forcefields and destroyed! Luckily, you can have four robots to complete this task. Choose wisely!

  7. Mountains in #Barbarians are sources of iron for your weaponry. A city beside the mountains will get 3 iron from each adjacent mountain square. Traversal is extremely difficult for your troops, though, and it can take several turns for an army to make the climb. The game is available from cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians- #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  12. The terrain on the horizon in The Anarchic Kingdom is purely decorative, but differs for every barony. So it's easy to visually spot your own barony when paging through the landscapes. cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchi #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  13. The Tunic is body armour made of leather to provide light protection against blows to the body. It is more effective protection than a cloak, but lacks the cloak's stealth advantages. Requires Dodging:1 to use effectively. Get The #ChambersBeneath from cyningstan.itch.io/the-chamber #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  14. The third level pack for #TeamDroid is Conveyors. Conveyor belts in every level help you or hinder you, sometimes both at once. In the first level there's no returning to the first chamber, so you need to push all the cards on to conveyor belts to be carried to the card reader chamber, before making your own way through.

  15. Bin heute Abend noch über eine deutschsprachige Version von Norton Desktop für Windows gestolpert. Die Version 2.0 enthält, neben vielen anderen Tools, einen echt netten Icon-Editor für WIndows 3.1. Der funktioniert mit EXE, DLL und ICO Dateien!

  16. The Ice Shelf is the source of the planet's Ice Flows, and is solid enough that Ports and other land units can be established there. cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

  17. If your empire is blessed with forests in #Barbarians, then you may have a free source of wood: each city generates 3 wood for each adjacent forest square. The trees can hamper the movement of your troops, though, taking a couple of turns for them to make it through. Get the game from cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians- #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  18. The size of your settlement in The Anarchic Kingdom reflects your strength compared to the other baronies. A bustling walled city shows that you're ahead. Download the game at cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchi #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  19. The Sword is a medium blade weapon for stabbing and slashing, requiring Blades:3 skill. Damage caused to the enemy is based on the player character's Agility. Some starting warriors favour the sword as it is affordable at the start of the game. Get The #ChambersBeneath from cyningstan.itch.io/the-chamber #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  20. The final level of Double Trouble is one of the most difficult. The two alcoves at bottom left and top right have guard droids that strafe mercilessly. You need to have impeccable timing to avoid their fire, whether you elect to destroy them or not. Get the game and the level pack from cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #TeamDroid #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  21. In the colder regions of Dalen there are Ice Flows. Like Sandbanks, these are accessible only to Hoverbugs, Air Fighters, and to Mining Boats which can carefully navigate among them. cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

  22. Your empire in #Barbarians has up to 4 different types of terrain, the most plentiful being plains. This is where food is grown, and the flat landscape is easy for your armies to traverse. A city generates 3 food for each plains square that surrounds it, including plains squares shared with other cities. Get the game from cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians- #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  23. Just added a TEAC CD-ROM diskette from 1997 to my collection of DOS drivers. This one needs about 14KB of memory, which is a bit more than other drivers, but still significantly smaller than what the Creative Labs CD drivers takes up. Not such a big deal, since I can still load it into the system's upper memory.

  27. After your first #StarCadre Combat Class game, you have the opportunity to choose the mission and the team for your next game. The default choice is one of each unit type, but you can choose a mission and tailor your team to perform best at it, e.g. more soldiers for an Annihilation mission. Or you can set everything to Random for a more interesting challenge! Get the game from cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre- #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  28. The eight baronies in The Anarchic Kingdom take the names of eight noble families of medieval England. Take control of one of them at cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchi #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  29. The Staff is a basic blunt weapon especially beloved of non-warrior characters. Causes light damage to the enemy, based on the player character's Strength. As a basic weapon, the Staff in the Weapon shop will always have curses and enchantments identified. Get The #ChambersBeneath from cyningstan.itch.io/the-chamber #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  30. In the penultimate level of Double Trouble, one robot needs to disable the forcefields that lead to the card readers, while the other will need to jump along contrary conveyor belts to escape its initial chamber. Get the game and the level pack from cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  31. At the bottom of the sea lie the Crystal Nodes. Mining Boats are equipped with submarines to bring up the resources, and also with drones to ferry those resources back to Port. cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

  32. There's more to a #StarCadre Combat Class Rescue mission than getting those hostages out of there. Some of them might have useful skills, including combat skills. Giving them weapons looted from fallen enemies turns them into useful members of the team. Giving them blades in particular allows them to help free their colleagues more quickly, something that requires no skill. Get the game from cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre- #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  33. The Snare is a dangerous trap that not only causes injury to any victim caught within it, but also holds them captive for a number of turns. Stealth:5 skill is required to lay this trap. Get The #ChambersBeneath from cyningstan.itch.io/the-chamber #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  34. Double Trouble's tenth level is another one divided into small chambers. There are forcefields that you need to disable (or jump over) to get from one chamber to another, so keep your phasers handy! You also need to shoot or avoid the guards. Get the game and the level pack from cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #TeamDroid #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  35. There's no way of avoiding battle in the ninth level of Double Trouble. Patrolling guard bots block your way to the teleporters that lead to the card readers. Get the game and the level pack from cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #TeamDroid #ibmpc #msdos #cga

  36. Double Trouble level 8 is like a merry-go-round, with conveyor belts taking the robots clockwise around the complex. But you'll probably solve it more efficiently if you find a way to go against the flow sometimes. Get the game and the level pack from cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #TeamDroid #ibmpc #msdos #cga
