  1. Another #msdos game jam called #mstres is starting soon! It runs for three months, so the games should be ready for the #dosember streaming event on Twitch! Participate or keep an eye on the projects at itch.io/jam/ms-tres

  2. Set back up a #msdos #gamedev environment and thought I'd try and fix a couple of small bugs that always annoyed me in Slipspeed, but introduced a fairly major new one in the process

  3. Penult (2026) by Karl Garrison, Erin Cornell, Maggie Vogel for MS-DOS. Faradur falls to Shadow Realm hordes. You, a simple villager, carry a fey companion's pledge. Why you? Find the cause, save the kingdom. This CRPG rewrite runs on 4.77 MHz 8088s, CGA graphics and PC speaker tunes. 🧙♂️⚔️

  4. Eine 28 Jahre alte Windkraft Anlage der Firma Tacke, TW 500 (urlr.me/sTfmPT)
    Steuerung erfolgt über 2 SPS Bausteine von Siemens. Programmierung per Serieller Verbindung. Betriebssystem MS DOS 6.22. Der SteuerungsPC ist genauso alt wie die Anlage. Mittlerweile hab ich die 3. IDE Festplatte (Quantum Fireball) drin. Und wisst ihr was? Das Ding läuft und läuft und läuft. Die Repowering Verhandlungen stocken, es besteht die Chance es bis ins 30. Jahr zu schaffen🤣 #msdos #admin

  5. If you've ever used, or heard of, the legendary Deluxe Paint ("DPaint") Amiga (and MS-DOS) pixel editor, @PyDPainter is a very accurate, free recreation of it, with some added features.

  6. Le Logabax Persona 1600, c'est l'histoire d'un clone réussi : une base d'Olivetti M24, du véritable 16 bits pur jus via son Intel 8086, et un contrôleur Motorola 6845 poussé dans ses retranchements pour afficher du 640x400. Le tout sous MS-DOS ou CP/M-86. Du beau matériel de passionnés.

  7. A brand new #cga game for #msdos has arrived! Not from me, although it does use CGALIB. Penult is a lovely RPG that previously appeared on the Atari 2600. karl-g.itch.io/dospenult

  8. Universe: Hic Sunt Dracones (2026) by binhack.m for MS-DOS.

    Drift through a procedurally generated cosmos where no two journeys match. Scan worlds, dodge pulsars, chase wormholes. No map, no rush, just the quiet pull of the unknown. Made for real DOS hardware, and it shows. 🌌

  9. VITO: The New Adventure (2026) by Yaron Yashinski, Yair Kapach, Roy Margalit for MS-DOS.

    A lost 1996 ketchup hero platformer, finished but never released, finally gets its first public outing. A tightly crafted MS-DOS original with secrets, traps and a tomato to save. 🍅

    Digger is a maze game released by Canadian developer Windmill Software as a self-booting disk for IBM PC compatibles. Digger was developed by Rob Sleath, the primary developer of Windmill games.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digger_(

    During normal game play "Popcorn" is used as background music

    Creative Computing in 1984 said that Digger "combines the best aspects of Pac-Man and Dig-Dug".

  11. Frog & Cat is a new #msdos #cga game for 2026, by Wesley Games. Lovely looking title screen, I'm looking forward to giving it a go later on, especially on the proper spec hardware! wesley-games.itch.io/frog-and-

  12. Remembering the time I read the #MSDOS 3.21 manual to figure out why our Zenith Data Systems 286 no longer booted from the 20 MB hard disk and concluded the solution was "format c: /s"

    when what I actually needed could be done with "sys c:"

    (to just copy the system files over w/o wiping the entire drive)

    I still blame the manual. I read the #documentation carefully and came to that conclusion after much deliberation.

    My mother was remarkably understanding, in retrospect. (It was her PC.)

  13. Frog & Cat (2026) by Wesley Games for MS-DOS. Pure x86 assembler, CGA-specific tricks, and a smooth framerate even on the earliest IBM PCs. Play solo or with a friend, co-op or competitive, and race for the high score. Your record runs are saved to disk to relive later. 💾
