DOS Games Are Alive and Well on Itch

Let's wrap up this streaming business by sampling some DOS Game Jam games!

Is it a booter?

I was wondering why line 95 was there . It didn't seem to have a purpose.

This is the first time I've made DOS freeware in 20 years. The time was right, and what a ride. I made sure it can run on my Tandy 2500, a 386SX/20, off a floppy. You can play via browser too.

Check the others out too. So many good games!

I like that you have de-windowed your keyboard.

Submissions to DOSember Game Jam

THIRTY NINE ENTRIES. 😐

Go play 'em! Leave a lovely comment! Follow the devs! Get inspired!

I can relate. What's your current fixation?

Does this mean that Windows might suddenly think your drive is about to melt or fail in some other strange way due to weird SMART health values being transmitted by PicoIDE?

Only ≈ 10 days left to submit something for the DOS Game Jam!

Did you know:
💾 There's still time to make something!
💾 You can submit something incomplete!
💾 Perfectionism can severely impact your mental, physical, and emotional health, as well as personal relationships?
💾 DOS Games are fun!

This is the latest build of my DOS game jam game. It’s currently 208kb, single executable, and that’s with a bunch of standard C libraries still linked in. Plays well, too IMHO :D

PicoIDE An open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator for vintage computers

It's official! #PicoIDE, the open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator I've been working on for the better part of this year, will be launching at Crowd Supply! Go there to sign up for updates and to be notified when the campaign is live: www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

I have used an exe packer to reduce it a bit too. I think the unpacked exe is about 100k. I could save some more space by reducing the number of characters in the font set too. But I'm happy with the current size so I'll probably leave it at that.

Yeah I can take a look. It should be doable. I still have the stubs in the code for playing the sfx.

Skifree - DOS Edition by rocketfry The classic game Skifree - Ported to MS-DOS

I've just released the first version of my Skifree DOS port.
#DOSember #DOSGaming
All the features you know and love from Skifree windows are there. Just now in MS-DOS

More progress on my #DOSember game jam entry.
Skifree DOS edition!
Now running on an actual DOS machine.
#DOSGaming

Yup that will be included too. It's currently broken at the moment but it should be an easy fix.

I'm working on an entry for the #DOSember Game Jam.

Skifree DOS edition!

Are you sick and tired of booting into Windows just to play Skifree? Now you can get your skiing fix directly in DOS.

There's still a bit to do but I'm happy with how it's progressing.

The lower density ones are easier to recover data from too.

Use it and hand wash.

The first entries have already started coming in for the DOS Game Jam!

There's still plenty of time to join in!

That reminds me, I have a course to finish.

The work-in-progress "maketune" utility for CGALIB. The music is the start of a transcription of Schumann's Sketch in C minor for Organ or Pedal Piano.

The CGALIB music editor is still a work in progress, but I'm looking forward to using it for my #DOSember game jam entry. Transcribing sheet music into this will be a lot easier than typing a bunch of numbers in a text file, like I did with my previous projects.

Hehe I haven't gotten much info. It's usually along the lines of. " Oh it was written in C++ with blah compiler"

I love reaching out to the original programmers of the old games that I'm reverse engineering.
"Hey can you tell me why you did XYZ in the code you wrote over 30 years ago."

It's important to stay hydrated.
