This was the very first soundcard I owned. Not this exact one, but tue same or very similar model. Utilizing the MediaVision Jazz16 chipset and a Yamaha OPL3 it had SoundBlaster Pro compatibility (which the SB16 didn’t have) and under Windows, OS/2 and Linux(!) back in 1994/1995 also 16 bit 44KHz Stereo sound, giving you CD quality audio. It was mostly jumperless and was configured through a driver loaded at boot time.

Well, here is a text editor that *does* work on the Tandy 1000!

Calvin 2.4, previously "free vi", for 8088+ msdos. Or as the man page calls it, MS-Dog. 😉

I don't have a lot to say here, it's a classic vi clone. This is a very love it or hate it thing. Seems like it understands the T1000 keyboard, which is useful to me.

So, to get the 8086 version of the Aurora text editor, unzip auror30c.zip, then unzip aur86_30c.zip on top of it.

Run a86. This is an installer and compiler to build the editor for your machine. This takes a long time on an 8088....

After installing, run a.exe....

And discover it just hangs forever on a Tandy 1000. 😭

I was hoping to show off another text editor but I guess not...

Doing a bit of spring cleaning in the "Wing Commander" retro folder. So many different versions and formats, for MS-DOS alone!

MIST0426/CT-RC

Mistigram: trotting an old joke around the track once again, in last month’s new books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection Cthulu made a batch file DOSbox adaptation of George Nachman’s #RichardCory Interactive Adventure from 1998, a joke about #EdwinArlingtonRobinson’s 1897 poem from over a hundred years earlier. This is its splash screen, with its weird Braille-like low-#ASCIIart logo to accommodate the dictates of the MS-DOS command line. You can play it via https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0426/CT-RC.BAT or see the original at https://www.llamas.org/corey.html

I'm checking out the original Wing Commander Deluxe Edition CD-ROM, I recently found on the Internet Archive's redump library. This one lets you make a dedicated data disk for your savegames.

I ran this on my virtual Compaq Deskpro 386/25MHz without any modification or issue using the latest 86Box v6.0 Beta.

sometimes i fear all of the greatest pixel work was already done in the early 90s

was playing DreamWeb tonight and noticed this scene in a mobster's office. so much thought and careful colour choice went into this scene drawn by artist David Dew over 30 years ago:
- it is drawn from a palette of 256 colours
- the cigar is 3 pixels, with a single pixel for a flaming tip; and yet, manages to perfectly express that it is a cigar.
- the 5 pixel gun slides across the desk in a casual, yet threatening, manner

Your empire might be bounded by the sea. The sea is completely impassable to your armies, but any port city will bring in 3 gold from sea trade for each adjacent sea square, in addition to that raised by taxes.
