Ich beschäftige mich heut Abend nebenbei mal damit, ein virtuelles System mit klassicher EGA-Grafik aufzusetzen. Hab mich da in 86Box für eine "ATI EGA Wonder 800+" ISA-Karte mit 256K entschieden.

Spannenderweise sehen mit EGA sogar schon die Schriften im BIOS und im SETUP-Programm subtil anders aus als mit VGA. Für PC-DOS 5 wird beim Booten auch gleich ein EGA-Treiber geladen. Glücklicherweise verbraucht der nur 3.2KB an Arbeitsspeicher.

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. 😀

I'd played this game on my Amiga 1200 and later on PC, but up until today, I never knew that "EGA" graphics were even an option for Wing Commander! This sure looks... special. 😉 😀
