Don't miss The Unix Game (linked halfway down on the page)!

Another addition would be Rudy Rucker's Ware Tetralogy.


And Rucker's "The Hacker and the Ants"


For me here in Sweden, it was a Spectravideo 728. Truly the reason I got into computers. It never was a big platform here so never saw many big games. And a couple of years later I switched to an Amiga.

There are quite a few emulators available:

- fMSX is multiplatform: https://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/

- RuMSX: http://www.lexlechz.at/en/software/RuMSX.html

It's been a few years since I used any of them so can't vouch for quality.


I like http://webmsx.org/ a lot. Works right inside your browser.


openmsx is the best one.

And here is an image of what it looked like before: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-genoa-liguria-polcevera-mo...


Another "before" image, from roughly the same perspective (from an article someone posted below).

Looks 'spindly'


The "NASA technician" in the second to last image appears to be airbrushing a large scale version, does anyone know if there are more pictures of this somewhere?


Exactly. Even the lowest offer is more than twice my pay, after 10+ years of experience in Sweden.


I use a nice little utility called Launchy[0]. It is invoked by Alt-Space (or whatever shortcut you like), is lightning fast and finds the right application 99% of the time. Based on your problems, I think it could be worth checking out.

[0] https://www.launchy.net


https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox is very similar but has a more active community.


Interesting! I've been using Launchy for years, mostly out of old habit. I'll certainly try Wox!


clockchain? :p


Naturally the clockchain provides proof of work.


Work expands to fill all available time.

I'll just quote Wikipedia:

"The title refers to the distance traveled while under the sea and not to a depth, as 20,000 leagues is over six times the diameter, and nearly twice the circumference of the Earth.[2] The greatest depth mentioned in the book is four leagues. The book uses metric leagues, which are four kilometres each"

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_...)


Of course, if we're being pedantic about details, that still puts the depth the Nautilus reached at over a kilometre into the earth's crust below even the deepest part of the known ocean...


Let's be kind to Verne. He did not know the depth of the Marianas trench.
