I uncovered an extensive trove of lost retro stuff in an old shed today, but this one item is so cool that it deserves a post all to itself: "MUDS: Exploring Virtual Worlds on the Internet" (1995) by Claire Lissette Benedikt and Dave Ciskowski. It was outdated even at the time I bought it - around '99, on heavy discount - but despite that it's no longer the reliable MUD phone book it hoped to be, it's a wonderfully preserved piece of history.

@vga256 - tagging you because how neat is this

UPDATE: I tried to connect to every single entry in the list of 100 MUDs. Almost all are defunct entirely. FurryMUCK and PernMUSH still exist, but their details are entirely wrong. Valhalla and Elender are still found at the server printed in the book, but the port address is wrong. But there is one MUD that, 28 years after the publication of this book, still awaits at the exact address printed: Ancient Anguish (ancient.anguish.org:2222).

So this is it: I am starting a new adventure on Mastodon with Kilobyte Magazine. This is a free PDF-Zine about computers and consoles from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, fokussing on #8bit machines. Newer projects around these computers and consoles are also very welcome. For starters, I will probably post some older articles on here. You can find back issues as PDF easily for free online (like e.g. on archive.org). See you arond here!

Someone is working on a #GameBoy USB capture cartridge. It plugs in sort of like a Game Genie... but not. #retrogaming https://there.oughta.be/a/game-boy-capture-cartridge


a sad story with happy ending:
back in 1995, in the netscape days, there was this little site called Betrayal at Krondor Help Web. some icelandic guy did the thankless job of mapping every treasure chest, enemy, dirt pile, maze, and moredhel chest puzzle solution. i visited and used it for decades.

Professor Eysteinn Bjรถrnsson updated that #retrogaming site for 25 years, until he unexpectedly died in 2021. i am honoured to now host it in his memory in perpetuity at https://dimwood.net


New month, new game!
In November we're going to play One Must Fall 2097 by Diversions Entertainment.

Will it hold up to the quality robot fighting that Rise of the Robots was? (wink wink nudge nudge)

Discuss the game with us - either here, on our forums over at https://dosgameclub.com or on our IRC (afternet/#dosgameclub)
