  1. Heute gibt's mal wieder ein sehr seltenes Sammlerstück für eure PC-Retro-Sammlung! Vollständige Diskettenabbilder und Scans der Microsoft Windows 3.11 Fresh-Up Disketten aus dem Januar 1995. In deutscher und englischer Sprache!

  2. While I was just dumping a pair of 1440k floppy disks, I ran into an uncorrectable bad sector. Luckily, the error only occured within the very last track 79.1, which was only filled with the usual MS-DOS binary pattern of "..F6 F6 F6.." anyway. Fixing this with a hex editor was easy as pie.

    To cut a long story short, here are the setup disks of SimCity 2000 for Windows 3.1. I tested them in PCem and 86Box. They're perfect!

  4. Back in 1993, PC Paintbrush Plus for Windows 3.1 was an awesome paint program. I loved this program and used it for years up until Windows 98 SE.

    If you're curious - here's the original German release:
