Wizard Replay lets you play Wizardry 1-3 and several unauthorized third-party scenarios on your Apple ][, all from the comfort of your ProDOS hard drive.
Version 2.0 adds four more scenarios based on Snafaru's "Proving Grounds 3.1" game engine, upgrades the in-game font, speeds up scenario backup/restore, and fixes a bug when launching from GS/OS.

Thanks to @a2_qkumba for everything.
I suppose I should post something introductory now that I'm on my own instance.
I'm a Linux lady who used to work in COBOL development and assorted legacy systems management gigs.
Nowadays I make videos and occasional blog posts about Linux and vintage/retro tech. Entirely supported by viewers like you (no sponsors as of writing). Links in bio.
Are we still doing hashtags?

TIL a toy company released a line of Independence Day toys in the late 90s; each toy included a different "mission disk" floppy with a multimedia program on it for windows 3.1
toy collector @eisnerguy1 managed to collect all 11 of the toys and uploaded disk images to IA 🙏

The Interlisp documentation has a distinctive style that conforms to "Xerox Publishing Standards: A Manual of Style and Design" published in 1988 in this edition. It was the Xerox house style, i.e. the style guide for company publications and documents. The manual covered everything from the publishing process to visual design.
Published in 1986, "INTERLISP: The Language and Its Usage" by Stephen Kaisler was the only book on Interlisp printed by a publisher. It extensively covers the Interlisp language and environment with many code snippets and examples.

When I pull my phone out of my pocket and turn on the screen, it takes a few seconds for the screen to reach full brightness.
Reminds me of a #CRT warming up.
Although in this case it's because the automatic brightness control is taking a moment to sense and react to the change in ambient light level, and not anything to do with the screen itself (which can change brightness instantly).
But still. It reminds me of my childhood.
anyone know how to deal with that 2000s–2010s matte surface plastic that inevitably turns into tacky goo? i have a few peripherals, a Nokia 3660 smartphone, and an MP3 voice recorder that have fallen to it

Did you know you can still get the src for the DICE C compiler (68000 #ANSI C #compiler) written for the #Amiga in the early 90's by Matthew Dillon?
Itll run on #BSD or #Linux host and can generate generic 68000 output that doesn't have to be targeted to the Amiga. It contains all utilities required to compile, assemble, link, rom, etc, and it's BSD licensed. dmake is needed to compile it on #Unix. It will generate 68K code, Amiga bin, obj, etc

Quick #retrocomputing question...
Where's your nearest #floppy?! and what's on it!
Mine's a diagnostic floppy for a #compaq 286 laptop.
I miss when software contained stuff like this.

Have you ever wished you could create a StuffIt archive on your modern Unix-based Mac with a native open source tool, so you could more easily transfer files to your retro Macs? Well... have fun.
