Let's Code MS DOS 0x28: Expanded Memory EMS
The original IBM PC and MS DOS could — for the most part — only access 640KB of memory. The LIM EMS standard was at first a standard for RAM expansion cards to overcome this limit. Today we learn how to utilize EMS memory to play back an animation that is too large for conventional memory.
I just received this from eBay USA: "SimCity Classic - Deluxe Edition for Windows". Pretty much the definitive version of SimCity Classic. The Deluxe Edition will install both the official SimCity graphic packs and the Terrain Editor.
By now it's probably mostly forgotten fact, but if you're in for some 16-color 32x32 .ICO nostalgia, the Moricons.dll is still available even in Windows 10 (not sure about 11). Look for it at %SystemRoot%\System32\moricons.dll. #retrocomputing#msdos#windows3x#windows
EDIT: @SkySorcerer confirmed it's present also on Win11

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 graphic adventure game by Lucasfilm Games. It follows Indiana Jones and his father in 1938, as they try to stop Hitler from getting the Holy Grail. Players explore movie scenes, face Nazis and spies, and use the SCUMM system to interact with objects. The music was composed by Eric Hammond.
The Snowmobile is a modified Ground Rover adapted for the wintry conditions of the ice caps. Its retractable snow skis allow it to move over the snowy plains at top speed. It is a light unit, with modest attack power and short attack range. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
The Ice Tank is a modified Laser Tank, fitted with snow skis like the Snowmobile. Its great weight still slows it down in the snow plains though, so it only travels at top speed along roads. It has more attack power than any unit except the Gun Platform. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
The Gun Platform is the most powerful attack unit. Normally static, it can be mounted on a carriage for fast travel along monorail lines. This makes it a devastating unit for defending a large built-up mining installation. It can take out some small units in one hit. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
The Mining Station is a static unit that can be built on Crystal Nodes to extract resources from the ground. These resources are used to build and repair other units. The Mining Station is weak, so it shouldn't be left to its own defence. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
Cadavers are decomposing bodies that are still dangerous foes. They are sometimes carrying loot, which they will drop when killed. #ossuary#ibmpc#msdos#cga
