So who remembers this DOS screen?

[Duke]

As we've expanded from DOS, enjoy these classics..

 

[MissChief]

OMG Winamp!

 

[MrWhippy]

Still think winamp's milkdrop visualisation can't be topped.

 

[WYNIR0]

 

[Blinkz]

Winamp! It really whips the lamas a$$!

 

[SupraWez]

Ahhh old DOS screen memories, things like LapLink, Stacker, DesqView, TheDraw etc

 

[Ninco!]

WYNIR0 - Sonique is a blast from the past!

I recently found my old CD's from the noughties and checking if they are still readable. Surprisingly all seem to be working well so far.

I am trying to find the disc which has Sonique/Winamp with mods/skins from the time.

Update - Sonique v130 & Winamp 2.5e found. Amazing to think that backups from the year 2000 would ever be of interest 18 years later!

What about this.

IRQ's - what a nightmare.. Forgot what a pain they where.

Children get it easy today!

There is a reason for that. We make stuff so much better than you used to

It's funny that this thread came up just as I was getting back into my DOS PC! Who remembers this kind of screen!



I've been playing games in Dos mode on my Windows 98 PC with a soundblaster Live with Soundblaster 16 compatibility (emulation of some kind). It has actually been quite smooth without any IRQ problems!

I played some Descent



Car and Driver (love the presentation in this)




And of course some Jill of the Jungle from Epic MegaGames, now just Epic and making GoW.

they look like Nintendo games right?

Creating a boot disk specifically for TIE Fighter because of the XMS memory it needed to run.

Never figured out how to do any of that stuff, didn't know anyone else who could either.
Ohh for the internet back then.
