No, you're merging two things together.
1) Microsoft bought QDOS from Seattle Computing, and hired Tim Paterson, its author, to develop it further. Although they got it for cheap, Paterson was then given a big chunk of Microsoft shares when hired.

2) QDOS itself was a clone of CP/M, another OS, but for platform it didn't yet exist on (Intel 8086). Digital Research, the company behind CP/M, insisted that DOS was using reverse engineered code from CP/M (illegal), and wasn't a clean room clone (legal). They never sued.

Yeah, although it's mostly known as "Call Apogee, say 'Aardwolf'".
Thu May 05 21:19:32 +0000 2022Replying to @dosnostalgic
The "Snappity" variant of the Call Apogee sign only appears in the shareware version 1.1 (either entire package, or patched from shareware 1.0). In later versions, including original registered release 1.1, it's changed into the more famous Aardwolf one. Until removed in v1.4

A little bit weird when people try to diminish Raimi's entire body of work for some reason. First 20 minutes of Evil Dead 2 have more creativity than some entire films. Certainly more than any Marvel film ever had.

I enjoy it, although it does sort of feel like a self repeat. Raimi is just pulling out his old tricks instead of doing something fresh. But it is a lot of fun.

The Lighthouse is supposedly very accurate. The Witch less so because there aren't that many records of that period. Idk, it was part of the marketing, and I bought into it. I guess I should have treated it like Andrei Rublev, which is all historical speculation.

Computers were used for development. RGB on computer monitors isn't the same as a composite signal on a CRT tv. However, since testing was done on a target platform, devs most likely could see both.

They were CRTs, yes, but computer monitors are a bit more complex AND the method of image delivery matters. RGB output isn't the same as composite, which is what you get on a tv.

This is a bit different.

- It is actually licensed.
Unlicensed western music happens a bunch in foreign games. Hell, there are a couple of remakes of 90s games on Steam *right now* that feature a few "borrowed" tunes.

Is he actually rich? Or was he rich at a certain point, and is now in need of some cash? I've seen his instagram. Not exactly the stuff that would be popular in the last 15 years.

Mon May 30 22:05:07 +0000 2022Wow. Marble Madness II is... bad.

It is essentially complete. Nothing about it indicates that there's anything unfinished about it. All the changes and additions to the original's gameplay are incredibly baffling.

Each of the changes and additions are just... what? How did anyone think those were good ideas?

Why is everything a being now? Who thought that was what Marble Madness was missing. Funny characters! Everything has faces on it.

The assumption that turned out to be correct. Nobody checked anything for a decade and a half.

Yeah, people are pointing to some of the fakes being 14 years old. He's been in the community since the early 2000s.

I mean, there's a fairly famous photo of that. He was prepared and orchestrated everything perfectly.

The wildest bit of that was that his forgeries passed various physical and chemical tests, which really shows how biased that stuff is.

It's not The Cranberries. Actually, I have no idea who that is. Doesn't sound familiar at all 🤷♂️
