As part of the 20th anniversary of the BBS Documentary's release, I've ripped the 3 DVDs that were included in the project and have them hosted at Internet Archive. These ISO files can be played in the VLC player like DVDs, and include all bonus features, subtitles, director's commentary, etc.

I have spend a week writing a massive article about Windows 2. It has sexy screenshots and is full of incredible trivia. Why not spend the New Year's Eve reading it? ;)

An interesting find on the #Nethack subreddit: someone obtained the 1993 Japanese release of the game "Nethack the RPG", which came with a full manual (guidebook), and they scanned the contents and put it up for all to see. I don't read Japanese so can't understand most of it (other than the proto-GPL license at the front lol) but it's also filled with anime-style illustrations throughout of the characters, actions, monsters and some items.

searching "GAMENAME cheats" and finding some page from 2004 that lists the following three cheats:
* infinite health
* level skip
* main character walks funny
