00Cedar and DOS Games:
There are tens of thousands of DOS games
available on the Net.
The games that I selected are text based,
in "harmony" with 00Cedar, and the original
Colossal Cave Adventure (1976) , which predated the IBM PC (1981).
IBM wanted Bill Gates to provide example
programs to demonstrate the 1981 PC.
Bill provided a simple MSBASIC game
called Donkey.bas, which uses the spacebar
to switch lanes and avoid the donkeys in the road.
Bill also provided a Microsoft translation
of Adventure.
Breakout was designed as a game cartridge by Steve Wozniak
for the Atari 2600, for which he was paid
$350 dollars for a 45 chip circuit, built in
4 days, before microprocessors were
available.
He didn't just write a program,
he designed and built an electronic circuit
using only 45 chips, about half the chips
that most Atari 2600 games required.
There are several Text* Adventure games
in the folders,
Including:
Kevin Black's ADV350*
Super Star Trek*
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy*
Orb*
MagicLand Adventure*
Detective*
Deadline*
also included are:
John Conway's LIFE ( A 2-dimensional
emulation of "life", which is actually
Turing Complete, meaning that it can
function as a computer...)
Bill Gates' Donkey.bas
Built at 4am by Bill Gates and Neil Konzen.
Steve Wozniak's BREAKOUT
...well, a DOS version of the game
that Steve designed as a circuit
for the Atari 2600.
Text Missle Command
An early DOS version of the Arcade game
Asteroid Pilot
a DOS game based on the Asteroids
Arcade Game.
and
Eliza*
An early AI type conversation simulation.
It is possible to run full-blown
1990's video games under DosBox,
but few smartphones have Joysticks...
*****
Musical Interlude....
Just as Christina didn't know that
Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of
the Edmund Fitzgerald" is an actual
factual historical ballad,
Most of you do not appreciate that
00Cedar is not just a "toy game".
If the Grid and the Internet ever fail,
which CAN happen...
We will be in a technological world of hurt.
It could take YEARS to rebuild the
damaged electronics,
Ño Facebook...
No Tik-Tok
No YouTube
No Google
No Email...
(click.)
00Cedar can run OFFLINE on any
undamaged equipment that survives.
You can work and play on 00Cedar,
sharing work and games with
surviving USB drives.
It's not just a game.
It's REAL.
