Here's something you might have resources to seek out: lots of Russian press about the film mention a NYTimes article that mocked the Soviet production when it was announced (late 50s) saying that even Disney deemed it impossible after optioning the novel. I personally was...

Fire Fight was certainly not "available now" at the time, as it ended up being published by EA in mid 1996.

Gateway PC prices from March of 1996.
$1 back then is about $1.92 today.

This is a pretty good package all around for the time, even if £1 back then is like €2.28 today https://x.com/SashaScanlines/status/1631389164200402956

 Thu Mar 02 21:09:30 +0000 2023

Hmmm... Idk anymore. It looks like average GBP to USD closing price was 1.77 in 1992, so that would mean this PC was about $1,415. Compare with US prices from Gateway around the same time:

I'm a european myself, so I know, but here's a counter point: a Goldstar PC from the same time. Basic package matches Amstrad's specs. Almost £100 cheaper (with VAT). Minus the games, of course, but better expansion options.

It has interesting ideas. It's not a straightforward fps, but rather each level is a sequence of puzzle-y set pieces. Basically unless you figured out what to do, and execute it carefully, you're going to die. So if you find stuff like that "fun",' then yes it's fun.

When your console-playing friends see DOOM for the first time on your PC in 1994

No consoles had Tekken in 1994, and nobody outside of Japan had a Playstation at the time either.

 Fri Mar 10 01:17:33 +0000 2023

If that's how we're gonna play it, then I'll have to point out that Doom shareware was released on december 10th of 1993, so theoretically, your console-playing friends could be seeing DOOM in 1993.

Doesn't sound like you could do file operations with a single hot key in that scenario, so I don't quite see how it's supposed to be more efficient.

And also File Master also leaves a lot to be desired in functionality aspect. It might have been acceptable back in the day, but it's been 30 years, all of which culminated in multiple upgrades & refinements of an orthodox file manager method.

This confuses me a bit because MS-DOS 7 was never a stand alone release, but only a part of Windows 95, which was released in August.
There was a stand alone release of IBM PC-DOS 7, but that happened in April of 95.

That would be DOS 6 (August 1993), and Microsoft's version was called DoubleSpace, and a lawsuit followed.

It's a 32 bit Windows game. In Windows 3.x it runs using Win32s and WinG.

Idk. Why can't they be descendents of Starglider, for example?

 Fri Mar 17 13:11:31 +0000 2023

Sort of, but not really. You're creating 2 near identical products that are competing directly against each other on the market. Which is probably why Fury³ ended up being mostly relegated to dozens of OEM packages & demo discs, while Terminal Velocity became a shareware classic.

It is the same game. So much so that by replacing a couple of Fury³ files with Terminal Velocity's, you can be playing TV on Windows, and absolutely nothing breaks. But it was never positioned as a sequel of any kind, and I don't believe TV is mentioned anywhere in Fury³.

You know what's not boring? DOS games! You should play more of them. And not just the 5 games you've liked since you were a kid. Try discovering something new. Download some random shit. Don't read the manual. Want extra challenge? Try a game in a language you don't speak.

Not many people remember that the original IBM PC 5150, that cost like $4 grand, came with just 16kb of RAM in a standard configuration. Meaning you could do almost nothing on that fancy business machine. Of course you'd have to get the 64kb upgrade, so at least it could run DOS. https://x.com/WysWyg_Protogen/status/1640740832490799104

People often make fun of PC's 640kb conventional memory limit, and maybe PC's memory structure deserves to be made fun of, although for reasons other than its limit, but when it was introduced 640kb was an ungodly amount of ram.

That is also a myth. IBM was basically giving stuff away back then because they just came out of a *giant* anti-monopoly lawsuit that lasted years. (Ken Williams wrote about his deal in his memoir.) So they just let MS keep it.
