The most infuriating thing about trying to get a broken MacBook back to work is looking at this abomination.

I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.

This is as far as computing should have ever been allowed to get.

I thought I knew the SimCity series pretty well but I never knew there was a "version 2.00" for DOS, renamed to "SimCity Classic".

It has some smaller improvements (built-in terrain editor, slightly higher EGA resolution and all the graphics addon sets) but the biggest is sound card support: no more PC speaker yelling at you when you misclick. Some of the sounds effects were reused in SimCity 2000.

It also has a nice music track but, it being the only one, it unfortunately becomes old quickly.

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.

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!
