MS-DOS 4 pushed me to DR-DOS :) But yes, its shell was nice.

Everyone seems to hate MS-DOS 4, but I actually think it's pretty neat. I like the oldschool MS-DOS Shell with its separate file management section and all those crazy colours. I also enjoy the fact that it plays really nicely with Windows 3.0 and the system's 386 Enhanced Mode. Something that, sadly, cannot be said about MS-DOS 5.0 or later.
Contrary to popular belief, people like me (nerds) usually do have a real life... and a job! I even go out on a regular basis, sometimes even in the daytime! But not tonight. Tonight I just spent 45 minutes watching an old VHS demo tape on MS-DOS 4.01. Time well spent!
Ist vermutlich auch nur eine weitere dieser billigen 90er-Jahre Spiele-Sammlungen für MS-DOS, aber vielleicht hat ja hier auch jemand Verwendung und Nostalgie für diese Diskette.
Im Unterschied zur anderen "4-PC-Super-Spiele" Diskette hat diese hier nun ein weißes Label. Enthalten sind die Spiele "Megadschump", "Wari", Brix 3 Superlogic" und "The Incredible Adventures of Mad Mac". Wahnsinn!

Viel Spaß!

@selzero Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, released in 1989 (EGA version on MS-DOS shown below). Adventure game (there was also an arcade one, much less interesting IMHO).

Created a brand-new 86Box system, custom made for MS-DOS 3.31 and Windows/386 2.11.
This is using a 386 CPU with 4 megs of RAM, Trident TVGA 8900D graphics and a 120MB WDAC2120 harddisk. Everything seems to be pretty compatible and works without issues, running in 386 enhanced mode. Including the latest and greatest MS Word 1.1a and Excel 2.1d.

Azrael's Tear? More like Azrael's Screen Tear! Nah it's fine, I just have trouble trying to get a consistent speed! (also a little bit of F.Godmom to warm up) Streaming now! https://twitch.tv/sonneveld #DOSGaming #Twitch #Streaming #Retrogaming #retro #Retrocomputing #DOS #MSDOS
I ran into a few issues with Windows 2.x and later versions of MS-DOS, so I figured I should simply install an older version of MS-DOS. Version 3.31 seemed appropriate, because it supports harddisks larger than 32MB.
Easier said than done, because - as a surprise to me - this version of DOS apparently didn't even have a setup program. You have to do everything yourself: FDISK, FORMAT, SYS,... you even have to copy COMMAND.COM from A: to C: by hand. Simpler times!
Just casually playing with old #ham #msdos #packetradio software #GraphicPacket, my favorite in the 90's, in a #DosBoxX window.
I'm thrown 30 years back and thrilled to have managed to make it work with a #KISS modem and #TFKISS resident driver (a NordLink TNC2 "TheFirmware" emulator for MSDOS).
Btw, I am preaparing some real hardware (Pentium 233) to make that work on, with a legendary 1200 bauds packet-radio #BayCom modem...

@fozztexx This looks promising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DriveSpace#Support_outside_Microsoft
You will probably need an older Linux distribution (Debian Potato, perhaps; it used 2.0/2.2) but you could probably run that in a VM, extract the files to a more modern file system, and then transfer that via a more modern system.
Bit of work, but should definitely be possible.

Is there a way in #Linux to mount a DOS disk that was compressed with DoubleSpace? The 40MB hard drive that was in my Toshiba T5200 was compressed that way and I was able to ddrescue it back in November, but all I found on the DOS partition was a great big 39.9MB file called DBLSPACE.000.
Can I Program VGA Graphics in MS DOS? (Watch Me Struggle!)
Let’s move into the 1990s and draw some graphics! I’ve got a whole 320x200 pixel screen, 256 colours and direct access to the video card. No APIs, no helper functions. Just me and the video RAM. #programming #msdos

Back in 1992, when releasing Windows 3.1, Microsoft chose to remove the game "Reversi" from the system. So, today, while sorting through various versions of Windows 3.0, I am also checking out the different revisions of REVERSI.EXE.
Interestingly, there's an upgraded (grey) version of Reversi for Windows 3.1, which seems to be no longer compatible with the original Windows 3.0 or 3.00a. When I tried to run it, it just threw an error message in my face.
Today I learned there was a game based on "Connections with James Burke", one of my all time favorite TV series. This coincided with a craving for 90s Myst clones.
This is extremely satisfying.

Back in the day, "PC Paintbrush for Windows" used to be my favourite image editor. I kept using it well into the modern Windows 9x era. Only recently, I learned of its history as an MS-DOS application. There are plenty of interesting similarities!
Ein Image der "4 PC-Super-Spiele" Diskette ist jetzt auch im Internet-Archive verfügbar. Im Jahre 1995 war das vermutlich die Krönung der PC-Spiele-Kunst! Ähhh... Okay, vermutlich nicht.
Trotzdem viel Spaß!
