@foone is this death generator? Or how were they produced? Or screenshots of that one?

@wavejumper3 They're mostly screenshots of the original OSes running in emulators. I used Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic.NET, Word Dialog Editor (from Office 4, I think?), and MUSH, the tool for controlling Agent characters like Clippy.

The DOS EDIT one is a lot of careful paint.net manipulation of pixels, combining a few screenshots while respecting the underlying text grid

@foone @wavejumper3 I vaguely remember there was some kind of tool for creating CUI programs for DOS, similar to Edit or QBasic, although I don’t think it was in QBasic. Might’ve been in Turbo C/C++, since they the only other DOS IDEs I used.
@UpLateGeek @foone @wavejumper3 Turbo Vision probably, the TUI library that Borland C++ and Turbo Pascal shared
