Opportunity Attacks in #StarCadre Combat Class allow units to attack enemies during the enemy's turn. If a unit has enough action points when an enemy appears within attack range, the unit will attack. Using opportunity attacks you're not taken by surprise when the enemy takes their turn! But beware, because the computer can use opportunity attacks too. Get the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-combat-class #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Four years ago I wrote about a TRS-80 game from a (probably) Scottish author that had character-text errors that made it unplayable. The game is now repaired for the first time, and I play it through and discuss its context as a "learning" game.

TIL that the #IBMPC didn't come with just #MSDOS. It had *four* operating systems available from the start.

I imagine that's why it was designed to boot from disk, and not a fixed ROM operating system like the #Macintosh.

The four original IBM PC operating systems were:

* #ROM #BASIC
* UCSD p-System, an OS built around a #bytecode interpreter for #Pascal
* CP/M-86, an x86 version of #CPM
* #IBM PC #DOS, a knock-off of CP/M from a little-known company called #Microsoft

Upon scrolls magic spells are written. The scroll will need to be read or identified to tell what spell it contains. Reading a scroll is dependent on intelligence; the higher the intelligence, the higher the chance of memorising a scroll's contents. Actually casting the spell is dependent on skill in the appropriate branch of magic: Power, Protection, Knowledge or Control.

The sixth level of Double Trouble for #TeamDroid resembles the first, in that the complex is divided into inner and outer sections. But in this case, two robots have to disable each other's forcefields, like in some of the preceding levels.
