I found this early draft of Monkey Island 2 ad copy...

support archive.org, too! donate a few bucks to them if you can! they deserve your support and they are an insanely invaluable resource - the wayback machine is an archive.org project and the amount of times ive used it to gain access to old files on now defunct websites is countless

please upload any lost software to archive.org instead.

its clear betaarchive has no interest in actual software preservation if they lock their downloads behind contributor status on accounts that can be deleted after a month of inactivity.

Tonight's relaxing jam:

Whoa. For 30th anniversary of the Russian cult classic ZX Spectrum game "The Adventures of Buratino" its creator Vyacheslav "Copper Feet" Mednonogov released a Windows remake of it & extended it with new material 2x the size of the original!

I found my old Win9X thin client! Remember getting this little thing after watching Phil's Computer Lab video, though I managed to go even lower than Windows 98SE, despite the first ATI Radeon not having native Windows 95 support.

This thing worked remarkably well for a Transmeta Crusoe-based PC. Behaved more or less like a Pentium II machine, enough juice for the vast majority of 199x-2000 games.
