The Win 3.1 Sound Recorder I guess a lot of people did their first sound recordings on PC ever with this program. We used it to record extraordinary stupid sounds and import them into the shareware version of Doom, with a little program called dmaud.exe. Jolly good times. #msdos

Steinberg Cubase 1.0.2 Initially released for Atari ST in 1989, this version for Win 3.1 came out in 1992. It was MIDI only. The first version that introduced audio and plugins support was released in 1996 on Macintosh and in 1997 for Windows 95, named Cubase VST. #msdos #cubase

Employee of the week:

"Multitasking" (and more) in DOS with Dos Navigator You can open multiple Tabs (number to the upper left) and copy/paste from one to another. Does not work in Dosbox. There are newer open source versions with different features - see screenshots for latest. Feature wise, NDN is a monster. #msdos

The Microsoft Natural Keyboard introduced the Windows and Menu keys in 1994. #msdos

The Settlers - time lapse Blue Byte 1994 This game aged like good wine. 😋 If gaming time is sparse and you weren't aware - this can be done in Dosbox by pressing and holding Alt-F12 (Turbo Mode). #msdos #retrogaming

SPOILER Dune 2 - Ending scene with Harkonnen #msdos #retrogaming

John D. Carmack II working on Quake, January 1996 #msdos #retrogaming

Lunar Lander (MS-DOS: 1984) Lunar Lander games date back to 1969, the first ones being text based. The first graphical versions appeard in 1973. I can't remember landing the MS-DOS version succesfully even once. But it's quite fun to suck at this game. #msdos #retrogaming

Indianapolis 500: The Simulation Papyrus Design Group / Electronic Arts 1989 The PC Speaker soundtrack of Rob Hubbard rocks 🤘 #msdos #retrogaming

Cakewalk 5.0 by Greg Hendershott 1994 From the company that would later release the DAW Sonar. Playing DOOM E1M1 on PC Speaker. #msdos

Eye of the Beholder - Intro Westwood / SSI 1990 One of the many (I counted 37) Dungeons and Dragons games released for DOS between 1988 (Pool of Radiance) and 1998 (Descent to Undermountain). #msdos #retrogaming

The X-Files Game (1998)

Leftys closed ... already?? Well, let's head to the disco then. This happens after 7 hours in LSL1. #msdos #retrogaming

Space Quest 3 Navigation System Sierra On-Line 1989 #msdos #retrogaming

Dune 2 - Schrödingers Trike The difference in the speed of units, when on the screen or not, is actually quite big. Westwood did this to achieve compatibility for slower PCs - units off screen are updated less frequently. #msdos #retrogaming

Planetarium v6.5e, shareware from 1995 by Christian Nuesch Yet another cool astronomy program for DOS, showing the positions of the planets in the nightsky, with nice animations. In this video I show "Aequatorial" and "Horizon" view. #msdos #astronomy

"If not, then we've got a problem." 😅 #msdos #retrogaming
