Not to detract from the Rain anniversary, but I just finished* my DOSember gamejam game.
My first real DOS game.
Help needed to port #FujiNet Battleship to:
#Atari8Bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #MSDOS #C64 #Plus4 #VIC20
Code is here:
git@github.com:FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-battleship.git
Code can also be borrowed from:

Can you help?
Taking a break from MS-DOS, I've been working on a game for the #PsionSeries3 pocket computer, of which I own too many. Dragonfell is a #HOMM inspired game where two sides raise armies of creatures and send them against one another across a decaying land, trying to seize the other's citadel. That game goes into beta test today, hopefully for a release by Christmas. There may be an #msdos version in future, as it's different enough from HOMM to be worth porting.

Mal ne allgemeine Anfrage an die Retro-Gemeinde: Hat von euch zufällig noch jemand eine deutschsprachige Diskettenversion des SimCity 2000 Urban Renewal Kits für DOS rumliegen und könnte mir davon ein Image zukommen lassen? Also keine CD-Version oder eine Compilation und auch keine Windows-Version, sondern die wirkliche SCURK Diskette?
Wäre euch sehr dankbar! 😃
P.S. Die Diskette müsste in etwa so ausgesehen haben. Hab ein Bild angehängt.

Recently I released #Barbarians for #msdos, a simple strategy game about repelling a barbarian invasion in ancient times. This release was for the #DOSember Game Jam, a 3-month game jam for MS-DOS preceding the month-long DOSember streaming event for 2025. The rules stated that picking up "abandoned projects" was allowed, and Barbarians for MS-DOS was a project I'd put aside at the end of 2024; the jam was the perfect time to pick it up again. https://cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #gamedev
But the development history of #Barbarians is much longer than that. #msdos is the third platform for which I've released the game. The original version goes right back to 2010, when the game was developed for the once-popular range of pocket computers from #Psion, computers which are often sold short by being referred to as "PDAs." http://damian.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/215/barbarians #gamedev
Once #BarrenPlanet had been tested it was time to launch it into the world, this being April 2023. I've launched three projects since, maybe four by the time you read this, and the process hasn't changed much. You can read about the launch process in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/201/barren-planet-out-into-the-world #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The Dagger is a small, cheap blade weapon for stabbing enemies. The damage caused to enemies is based on the Agility of the player character. Being a basic weapon, daggers in the weapon shop are always identified for enchantments and curses, so you don't have to worry about your first weapon being cursed. But a Dagger in the dungeon might need closer inspection. Get The #ChambersBeneath from https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The Necromancer is the final enemy in #Ossuary. He is the cause of all the chaos you've battled through. Unlike spectres and daemons, he is a living human and is vulnerable to blades, although his spells can blast you to pieces very quickly. He will not chase you like other monsters, he'll wait for you to come to him. If you kill him, then you will keep your gold... and your life! You can download the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga
Here are the three #BarrenPlanet campaigns running on a Hewlett Packard #hp100lx. You can download the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/barren-planet, where you will find links to the two DLC campaigns. #hp200lx #msdos #cga

Would suggesting alternative email clients be helpful?
@yetiinabox Thanks. I should have followed up to say that I found the solution: let the Google app to access my local files. Not happy with that, but can live with it.
Meanwhile, I had tried old fave Thunderbird, which has some advantages, but getting it to load 15 years of email archives in 1,000 msg batches was maddening. After several hours of pokes, it was only half done, so I deleted it.
I have never had any email client as good as the #MSDOS #PegasusMail that ran my life in the 1990s.
