It never had a homepage.

An oldschool audio player.

I don’t remember anything about it, but I had some rough notes so I’ll make this page.

This topic is primarily for MS-DOS 6.22, though I was particularly keen on 4DOS.

The official DOS version is abandoned.
An an open source version was released for FreeDOS, but it appears to be abandoned.
The Windows version was called 4NT, but later renamed to TCC/LE

I loved this game a lot, and wrote down a whole lot of different codes for various combinations of things. I went through the game just far enough to get all kinds of cool stuff, but didn’t go through to start fighting bosses and whatnot. I wrote all this down on pieces of paper, then gave away the entire lot of stuff.

If I had only kept the codes then I could just buy back another set of stuff, or use emulators or the like. Maybe when I get a Nintendo DS again I’ll be able to buy this game again (see atlus.com) and I’ll just play it over and over to get some good codes again.

Lego Star Wars - The Video Game - (2005 game) ps2 cover

Good fun with childish gameplay. No real dying.. could be challenging for good players, if they took it seriously. Would be great multiplayer (which I haven’t tried). Spoiled by an entirely impossible area.. so you cannot proceed.

It has a lot of other problems and I mark this one as “entirely unplayable”.
