Wondering if anyone's interested in #FLOSS for older systems like #DOS and #FreeDOS? I really liked the #XFDOS distribution based on #FLTK and #nano-x with FreeDOS. I know the lead developer of XFDOS is no longer active, but it would be nice to see some development continue on this project. Is anyone else besides me interested in this sort of thing?
...techniques of the eight main characters from the original game were further balanced for competitive play. 🥇
The Mega Drive/Genesis release has a size of 24 Megabit and includes an additional game mode based on Hyper Fighting with a turbo mode. 🥊
🕹️ Trivia about the game consoles of our childhood
@OutofPrintArchive you should post the infamous game informer review, where the text was a glowing write up, but they gave it like a 6/10 solely because they said it was "too kiddy."

Haha, luckily I don't have any of those issues.
I kinda turned away from US magazines when they started going all in on Playstation and downplaying anything Sega was putting out.
The French Joypad and UK CVG were a lot more balanced and nowhere near as biased.
They just recommended good games, no matter what system they were on or which art style they used. 😅
N-Force 2 - August 1992 (UK) has just been added to the magazine catalogue.
The magazine has an extra cover that wraps around to add the postcards on the back, so I've included the inside cover here as well as they look a ton nicer.
this illustration was commissioned for a type-in program called Islands for the commodore 64, in the august 1988 issue of RUN magazine.
i am in love with the line-art/woodcut style, painstakingly inked and coloured. it was a different age in which a work of art could be commissioned for a BASIC game that a handful of people in the world would bother to hand-code and play.
this is better art than 90% of the physical big box games i own
update: as it turns out, there is not merely emulating etching/woodcut with inked lines, it IS an etching by artist doug smith who was famous for this style.
Real retro-veterans of course know that the first console war was between Atari 2600 and the Philips Videopac, known in the US as the Magnavox Odyssey.
Later, the Mattel IntelliVision was the arch-enemy of the CBS ColecoVision.
I owned an Atari 2600 and later a CBS ColecoVision. Precious childhood memories. 💚
