That’s closer, but I’m sure the menu was at the bottom and not like a dropdown menu - more like a list. I don’t remember it being Microsoft, but maybe I just didn’t know that at the time!
I remember having that afterwards as an ‘upgrade’
Those are interesting sites.
Well I meant ‘reconstruct’ in the sense of remembering the complete setup, not actually building it I remember copying some things like word docs, but not much else. Maybe I’d grown out of those games at that stage. I’ve still got some of them at my mum’s though.
The part up to the cage? That´s about the only part I have no problems with. After that it gets hard for me too. I may be getting the PS4 version so capturing is easier for me.
It sounds a little like WordPerfect. It had very cryptic commands just to do very simple things. I remember there were entire classes devoted just to learning them.
I was the last hold-out with a C64 until about 1993 when I finally convinced my mom to buy as a 486sx PC. Even though it came with Win 3.1, it was such a memory hog that I ended up using DOS most of the time.
I spent most of my time messing around on BBS’s. I ran one for a while and hosted some door games. I remember Global Wars being my favorite. It was basically like Risk with really crappy ANSI graphics. People were really into Usurper, too. Apart from doors, there was Doom of course, and the Hugo’s House of Horrors games which were basically like low-budget Sierra games.
