Slackware is probably your best bet. Don't know how long since (or if ever) you used Slackware, but it's my favorite and system requirements have not gone up much over the years. Current minimum CPU is a 486, several gigs of disk space depending on what you install, includes only the basics (GNOME …

We recently went through a housecleaning here, and I went through the old floppy disks. I had a few I wished to sell, mostly DOS & 16-bit Windows games, some of which are very well-known. They would be original retail disks, all have been chkdsk'd with no bad sectors at all, and only when all of the …

I bet a lot of these could be compiled as native win32 console apps using Cygwin or Mingw32 and would run fine on modern systems unless they have timing issues. Yes they are all fine on Cygwin. I don't play any of the later DOS games the developers here say they are targeting, but the games with …

Hi, I mentioned in this old post that I was porting stuff to DJGPP/DOSbox and suggested uploading the results to VOGONS. I mentioned this is tougher to accomplish due to a lack of LFN support messing up parts of DJGPP, which according to DOSbox developers is unlikely to happen, due to their focus on …

Just turned 26 last month. I know you all talk about 90s-quality graphics and IPX games and I talk about text-based and 80s stuff. Things were tighter for us back then, and computers were $1000+. We had a 286 in the first half of the 90s (no sound card, PC speaker sound, DOS only) and one of those …

Yeah they're doing stuff like that now, leaving stupid/bad messages with spam in the signature. Sometimes they reply to real messages and replace the quote portion with spammer links.

I'd like to see something like Z:\CYCLES.COM where you could manually adjust the cycles. It would be much easier for people (like myself) who default to full screen mode, instead of having to Alt-Enter out, just to see the current cycle count while adjusting with the function keys, and then going …
