In The Anarchic Kingdom, the buildings and characters on a barony screen are a visual representation of that barony's stats. The better a barony is doing, the more impressive they look. https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Mit ein Bisschen Basteln hab ich's jetzt am Ende doch hinbekommen, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 mit EGA-Grafik zum Laufen zu bekommen. Es funktioniert, aber - ja - es macht ehrlich nicht so wirklich Spaß. Windows for Workgroups mag EGA nicht besonders.😕

Es würde vermutlich mehr Sinn ergeben, Windows 3.1 (ohne Workgroups) zu verwenden und das System dann per FreshUp-Diskette auf Version 3.11 zu heben.

These early versions of Tetris from 1986 are remarkably playable and addictive, even today. I just wanted to compare different revisions of the game, but found myself playing and coudn't stop. Oh, well.. Tetris is Tetris 😉

Serious question to the TETRIS experts in the retro gaming community:

Both of these versions of Tetris for the IBM-PC are from 1986. At least, that's what it says. But, which one is the "original"? The first? The real version? At least, for the IBM-PC? The DOS file dates are complete nonsense. I'd be grateful if anyone could explain!

P.S. Thanks it's been cleared up. 😀

Level 3 of Conveyors goes back to the dual chamber theme, with a one-way conveyor belt journey between them. But this time there's a robot in each chamber, so the robot in one chamber can start sending the data cards down to the robot in the other. It's possible that the first robot's work is complete before the second one makes a start. You can get #TeamDroid from https://cyningstan.itch.io/team-droid #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Your empire might be bounded by the sea. The sea is completely impassable to your armies, but any port city will bring in 3 gold from sea trade for each adjacent sea square, in addition to that raised by taxes.

Oh, cool! Telev78 just shared a working 5.25 inch disk image of the original TETRIS by MirrorSoft. Back in 1987, EGA was the fanciest available graphics mode on the IBM-PC! Hell yeah! Interestingly, this European release was slightly different from the Spectrum Holobyte version. Comparing them side by side using 86Box.

Thank you @Telev

Land in The Anarchic Kingdom is the measure of your success. It also influences how many peasants your barony can support: when you gain land, people move in. Play at https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The Warhammer is a large blunt weapon for smashing enemies, requiring Bludgeoning:5 skill. Damage caused to enemies is based on the player character's Strength. It is especially fun to use the warhammer in upper and middle level dungeons, where it allows the player character to bludgeon their way through enemies as if the enemies were not even there.

On the second level of Conveyors, even the guards are helpful. They push the cards onto conveyor belts for you to pick up, and play no further part in the game. But you must be quick: if you don't pick up all the cards in time, they will be carried into the forcefields and destroyed! Luckily, you can have four robots to complete this task. Choose wisely!
