As useful as Google spell checking is, it doesn’t measure up to the value the Wayback Machine has had for me.
I love the Wayback Machine. I want it to have my babies.

A Unicode VGA font.
- DOSEMU’s vga font is an equivalent non-Unicode font.

I didn’t take proper pictures of all the parts I gave away. A couple of 486s, including one with a mixed ISA, PCI and VLB motherboard, with tweaked L2 cache. Heck, I even had a Gravis Ultrasound Plug and Play with a pair of 4MB SIMMs.
Lots of hard drives, a couple of cases, boxes of cards including some formerly-expensive modems.
StarCraft – (1998/2017 game) remains one of the best games ever made. The quality of gameplay, the low system requirements and most especially the hackability of the maps.
The 9×15 font versus DOSEMU’s vga font

I dipped into my archives to fish out the old DOSEMU vga font. It is a thing of beauty.

The 9×15 existed on Lubuntu and I must have been using it throughout my time up until Lubuntu’s retirement on 2016-03-26.

TODO – something to play from CGSC: .mus, .str, .wds
This is a category of music both covering “obsolete” formats and styles demanded by technological limitations and the more recent hipster minimalist music.
My primary interests are DOS modules, and Commodore 64 SIDs.

Linux distributions + Unity Linux >
Oldschool Linux was to have been usable as a general-purpose light Linux distribution, with a focus on oldschool platform and operating system emulation/virtualization, demos, games, art and music.
Its target era was to be pre-Windows: DOS, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari, etc. Software will be Linux-native where possible, but two-stage software will be examined .. such as emulating DOS to run a DOS program.
- Platform Emulation (DOS: DOSBox and DOSEMU, other platforms like Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari)
- Console Platform Emulation (Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, Arcade, etc)
- Virtualization
- Oldschool demos (intros, demos, megademos, democomp-related stuff)
- Art (ASCII, ANSI, pixel, etc)
- Oldschool music (MODs etc, Commodore SIDs, and more)
-
Games (Free, not abandonware – either platform-specific, console or arcade games)
- This is a secondary interest.
It was to be a consumer distribution, and not a producer distribution. To be distributed with media viewers/players as well as actual content. It was to be a branch off of the Unity Linux base. It never made it past the planning stages.
Oldschool-Windows and producer editions were far-future ideas.
