Links and things - Volume 2
- Flying Saucer Video - Remember your neighborhood video rental store? This an ongoing webcomic about the final year of one of those stores, and the employees who work there.
- Complete WordStar 7.0 Archive - A guide to using the legendary word processor WordStar on modern operating systems, with downloads.
- The Walnut Creek CD-ROM Collection (archive.org) - In the days of dialup, getting a CD-ROM in the mail from Walnut Creek was exciting. I still think fondly of their Linux and FreeBSD CDs.
- Living Worlds - Art by Mark Ferrari - Have you ever seen those old animated pixel art scenes that used palette cycling? If so, it was probably these.
- Last Call BBS - A game that's a little bit about BBSes, but even more about
shareware, and the excitement of downloading it. I still boot this up regularly to enjoy the chill music and puzzle games. Edit: I completely misremembered. It's a game about warez, not shareware. There are even fake crack screens! But my favorite game in the pack is Dungeons & Diagrams, and that one doesn't have a crack screen, just a registration popup in the menus.
