Friends, as some of you know I've had a bit of an "adventure" in the US healthcare system recently. Good part is - I have insurance through my job that covered most of it. But what's left comes at a time when I'm already struggling to begin with.

Ok, research time: What are your favorite FLASH games? Tell me!

Happy birthday to the Internet SHAREWARE version of Quake! 🎂🎉🍾🥂
Remember, it was only 8 maps long. To get the full game you had to order it for $45 + $5 S&H (about $100 today) and wait for it to get finished and shipped to you.

Ok, has anyone made a program that will eat up a customizable chunk of conventional memory in DOS? I would like that for testing purposes, so I don't have to dick around with loading every driver & tsr I can think of, and save myself some time.

StrataVision was the 3D modeling and rendering package used to produce graphics of the original Myst. They are so proud of this that even right now if you get the latest version of it ("Strata Design 3D SE", free on Steam,) it comes with a bunch of Myst assets in its library:
