I've been thinking I need a #fun side project for when I'm not feeling working on big things. I have the source #code for a few old #DOS#games I've hacked on a few times.
The games were written in #QuickBasic (and it's predecessors) and in the past I've used #QB64 to get them running natively on Windows....

Day 9 #solotober2023 : Playing another SNAFU game -- Azione Violenta su Barcellona -- from Nicola Saggini and Eduard Altarriba. A reminder of the brutal fascist airstrike that occurred during the Spanish Civil War. #boardgames#wargames. @neildixon
