Ben Collver<p>This is Diabaig, a roguelike game, built for DOS using OpenWatcom and pdcurses. It requires a 32-bit CPU and 4 MB memory to run.</p><p>Diabaig home page<br>&lt;<a href="https://conornally.itch.io/diabaig" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">conornally.itch.io/diabaig</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>&gt;</p><p>Back when tigers used to smoke, the Great Halls of Diabaig were home to a thriving civilisation. However, few records survived the ensuing fires when a dragon moved in. Descend to the depths of Diabaig, carefully navigate the twisting corridors and dangerous creatures and return with a tooth from the dragon's jaws.</p><p>Diabaig is a traditional turn-based ASCII roguelike where you are never more than a few mistakes away from death. Choose a starting class, find powerful items, and learn new spells and techniques to face increasingly dangerous adversity. You will discover many floors with rooms filled with unique creatures, magic scrolls, unknown potions and mighty weapons. Use everything at your disposal to survive as long as possible and defeat the dragon, but remember to keep enough spare for the return journey.</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/diabaig-1.0.0-for-dos" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/diabaig-1.</span><span class="invisible">0.0-for-dos</span></a></p><p><a href="gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/files/dos386/game/diabaig/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible"></span><span class="ellipsis">gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencoll</span><span class="invisible">ver/files/dos386/game/diabaig/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/dos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dos</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/roguelike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roguelike</span></a></p>

DesertFOX<p>Just a quick emulation test of Descent II for Windows 95.</p><p>The game's CD-ROM includes both the DOS version, as well as a version for DirectX and WIndows. So, it's essentially the same game. The resolution here is a whole lot better than under DOS and the frame rates are also much improved.

Adamski the Hodgepodge

Are there any #dos gamers out there who can help me out? There was a Pipe Mania clone I played in the early 2000s on one of those "1001 games for your home computer" type CDs (it also contained the text adventure Humbug and the Hugo Trilogy) I have no idea what it was called or how to find it but it had cool visuals and some levels had bonus toilets and stuff. I checked out actual Pipe Mania and while this is a similar game, it's just not quite the same.

The systems I use are those where any server can send me an SMS anywhere in the world so that I know what goes on. I even have different numbers for different classes of servers.

This error would not have stayed up so long had I been running that part of the network monitoring

My 4G provider has a accounting service error.
This service error was discovered by me yesterday at 22.10 hours. Because of this error I cannot put any cash on an account of any phone. This means that the amount of money lost by the 4G provider is in the thousands of USD per hour. This is an irritating denial of service
