Master of Orion, 1993 MSDOS game from my favorite era of PC gaming. I love the 2d pixel art in 320x240 much more than the early, awkward 3d era that followed a few years later. Just got the box in the mail today. The disks unfortunately no longer work.

There are menu tabs in the bottom such as GAME, FLEET.master of orion front box art showing a sci-fi drawing. top half shows planetside with a building with columns to represent some form of civilization. bottom half shows spaceships in front of a planet.back of the box art with gameplay screenshot and tantalizing description.the contents of the box. a manual with a color front, a pink sheet for a calling tip service, 4 HD 3.5 inch disks

Small update for my MIDI file player I made in C for the 6502 based wildbits/K2 - I added a playlist mode and some bouncing MIDI logo sweetness (think DVD logo and those rare corner bounces!!!)

cozyMIDI: my brand new 68k mac application coded in C (and sweat). Plays standard MIDI files assuming you have an external module plugged on the modem port. Runs on a Mac Plus, speed is perfect on a SE/30 and up. Has fun animations during playback (see the 2/2 post in this thread) #macintosh 1/2

black and white screen capture of cozyMIDI. it's showing an about screen dialog in the middle with the version name, date and an official MIDI logo. It has a small gfx of a note resting comfortably on a one-person couch. Behind, we see a full screen b&w art of a big living room with an aquarium, work table with a compact mac, abstract wall painting and a big window giving us a view of a mountain range. This is a minimalist 80's look.

Mike C wrote a superbasic for a #wildbits computer (fmr. known as foenix retro) that's very easy to learn from, using connectivity with the wifi chip, fetching data from NASA and displaying the ISS coordinates in real time. I've let it run for about 30+ hours

map of the world with a black background and green outline of the continents. Many curves made by blue dots are representing the passages of the ISS over the map. The words "S.P.O.T. Satellite Position and Orbital Tracking" is at the top and the latitude and longitude of the current position of the ISS is on the bottom.

someone (thanks, furan) did this pixel animation on a LED matrix wall which looked so cool I had to reverse engineer it on my #wildbits K2 using 2 layers of smooth scrolling tiles. I added a fm synth menu music from System Shock, I felt it fit the vibes.

If you're visiting #VCF #VCFEast this weekend, consider checking out this amazing Wildbits classroom, where you're learn the ins and outs of this new retro platform (fmr. known as Foenix F256). Workshops happening on all 3 days, all day long on various topics surrounding its basic, sprites sound etc

All the machines have various programs running, such as a port of Lode Runer, a balloon sprite from superbasic, a tile/sprite editor, pitfall, etc.
