Banner Mania
Title Screen
Broderbund 1989
Category: Misc
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Overview - BANNER is an incredibly old program. I frequently go through tons of floppies to discern whether they are still good or not, and here I find this app, still alive and kicking from my days of the 80286 clone PC. We're talking 1989 era. This floppy still works. Although I have no real need of this program, I found it to be one of a kind, simple and effective. The fact that a 13 year old floppy disk (the 5.25 inch one, at that) is still perfectly readable makes this a truly treasuring backup. Made by Broderbund, you simply can't get this type of software anymore.

Contiki
Title Screen
Adam Dunkels 2003
Category: Misc
Language: English
Licence: Freeware
System: C64
Sure, I want to surf the net, too. Surfing the net from a Commodore64 is now a true paradigm, since you'll hardly ever find a web site you can use. I remember when I got a modem for my C64 (it was an 800 bps modem)' omg that was incredible! I knew a telnetable BBS and I used to spend hours there, chating with the sysadmin. That's how I got into security' great stuff indeed.

Deluxe Paint II
Title Screen
Electronic Arts 1994
Category: Misc
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
All artists have a begining, even when it comes to digital art. I still remember how I used to draw on my Commodore 64's screen (OK...it's an example...:D) with PEEKs and POKEs. Sure...I'm not an artist.

Dr Sbaitso 2.20
Title Screen
Creative Labs 1992
Category: Misc
Language: English
Licence: Freeware

Dr Sbaitso is the perfect psychologist: strictly confidential and without any emotion. A cold machine which analyses your personal problems without judging you. You can tell him anything, he won't call the police or mock you - because he's just a computer algorithm!

geOS 2.0
Title Screen

Category: Misc
Language: English

Last time, I told you about that thing...LUnix. Well now, that was, indeed, a fairytale, but know what: I found my geos disk for my old c64 and here's the daddy of all OS-es.

HyperDOS
Title Screen
Leading Technology Inc. 0
Category: Misc
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
When I first fired up HyperDOS, I had my doubts. After all, it was bundled software for a computer that is probably older than I am. Then, the title screen appeared. My hopes rose. "DOS Operations!" I thought. "Does this mean no more commands to type in?"

Kawasaki Synthesizer
Title Screen
Sight Sound 1983
Category: Misc
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
It's something really funny about the music on the C64. Let's face it: it kindda sucks. I can't remember the thing's speakers doing anything interesting, aside from hurting my ears maybe.
