The VHS Wizard 🦝📼🧙

I don't really know much about this particular sphere of the world, but if there's anybody who has a hyperfixation with educational software from the 1980s, it would be here on Mastodon.

Friend of mine is clearing out her parent's house and has found several old 5¼" floppy educational games for the Apple II. They've still got their original boxes, but have definitely been "loved".

I am always paranoid about lost media and software preservation... are these something anybody would... want? Is it worth trying to find people who are into this?

not that there was much doubt about it, but (most of) my website loads and displays (in a usable fashion) in Microweb on a 386SX

Despite making major headway on my debts (no more credit card!), I do still have a student loan to pay, and this month's payment is due in two days. And I... haven't earned any money this month. It looks like I will need about $75. Grateful for help/shares. 🙇‍♂️

More scenes of the second reality demo now work on IRIX. Still many segfaults, bus errors and glitches left to fix.

Games That Weren't

The Amstrad CPC6128 edition of New York Warriors was released with both disk sides containing the first side, losing a whole side of levels! Lost for 36 years, author Fred Williams has kindly allowed Games That Weren't to release the lost full version:

It is thanks to Kevin Edwards that the game was preserved, after Fred sent his 3" disks to Kevin.
