This is part 5 of the Major Stryker clips. Here, I finally overcome these Lava Zones. Then I try and try again with battling the Mothership for the Lava Planet.

This is a really old video game for the Apple II series of computers. A simple bowling game from 1979 runs well on the AppleWin Emulator. AppleWin works well under Linux through Wine.

Part 4 of Major Stryker. Here, even on beginner - not novice - mode, I continually crash and burn in the Lava Zones on the Lava planet. I prefer the side shields as well. Those other 2 shields are bloody horrendous. It really is quite hard to see incoming projectiles. It's fun nevertheless.

Part 3 of Major Stryker. The Land Zone levels went fairly smoothly. I've also noticed that it can be a bit hard to see incoming projectiles as well. Always keep your eyes peeled.

Part 2 of the Major Stryker campaign. These are the next set of levels on the lava planet in Major Stryker (C)Apogee 1993. They go far more smoothly than the last lot for me.

Major Stryker is an old DOS game from Apogee released in 1993. This is the first part where I proceed through the first few levels of the lava planet. I also fumble about the second level trying to get the feel of the game again after quite a while. This is in a DOSBox session. More parts will come.

XBill is a very old parody game where you stop all of these Bills from replacing perfectly working systems with a virus called Wingdows, cleverly disguised as an operating system. I thought that this would be a little entertaining given all the craziness going on right now. http://www.xbill.org/ Classic moment as Bill entered court for his antitrust suit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFa1eHOEvyg YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfY_W9tt7NFOwFdhjGQEHrw BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Cuq91JIghCWN/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@MeditativeComputing:c Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-801865 DTube: https://d.tube/#!/c/meditativecomputing21 Minds: https://www.minds.com/philosophersdrink/

I actually made this recording a few years ago, but thought I'd quickly edit it and put a bit of music in there. I believe this is the original 89 version of the game. This is where the SimCity franchise all began. Old film effects are there because, why not?

A quick clip going over installing a very old version of StarOffice from 1999. This is the last version of StarOffice that ran on OS/2. More about StarOffice and derivatives like OpenOffice and LibreOffice will come in another clip.

This is just me mucking around with an old DOS game that simulates Ford car models from the 1980s. The graphics consist of very basic 4 colours found in the many games from the 80s created for DOS. The video standard this was written for was the Colour Graphics Array (CGA). In my experience, the CGA graphics typically was cyan, purple, black and white. Here, instead of purple, there is red. I uploaded this because I could. Same with the old film effects. DISCLAIMER: I am not a car man. This is just another clip I decided to do. P.S. there's music later in the clip, not with A4 retuned to 432Hz.

A blast from the past for me. I remember there was a similar edition from Expert Software called 40 games. I found this on archive.org. This is a collection of games written for Windows 3.x. So I thought "why not run it on an OS/2 virtual machine with Windows 3.1 compatibility?" Also, I had to really edit the recording done by VirtualBox because, on my computer, the VM recording was crap. No music.

No music this time. Just a little clip of me using OS/2 Warp 4 on a VirtualBox machine connected to the Internet. NOTE: The clip glitches a bit towards the end unfortunately. The site I browsed is a very old one from 1994, Mosaic Communications Corporation. This version of IBM WebExplorer that was bundled with OS/2 is from 1995.

Have a listen and let your imagination flow. Imagination is a critical function of the soul. It is very important not to neglect it or let others control what you imagine. Visuals generated by more DOS screensavers.

A piece I have recently created. I've included artwork by William Blake, in the clip as well. There's also my attempt at creating better visuals using the Powder Toy as well as another old DOS screensaver. There are times where surrender may be necessary for the right reasons.

An experimental piece I made a few years ago. I believe the left side is 432Hz and the right side is 444Hz. The visuals are generated by very old Windows toys from the 80s. Enjoy.

This is a live CD session of Puppy Linux Fossapup64 9.5. Here I play with it by checking out a few apps that come with it. I also muck around with the appearance settings. Instead of Firefox, there is a browser called Pale Moon, based on Firefox. It's good as a rescue system and a highly portable Linux system. I used it 11 years ago as version 4.3.1. https://puppylinux.com/index.html#download YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfY_W9tt7NFOwFdhjGQEHrw BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Cuq91JIghCWN/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@MeditativeComputing:c Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-801865 DTube: https://d.tube/#!/c/meditativecomputing21 Minds: https://www.minds.com/philosophersdrink/

Part 3 of this OpenIndiana session. I finally get DOSBox installed, firefox crashes again which I see crashed the pkg command for some reason. Might be something to do with the fact it's in a VM on an old laptop. Not sure. I use the Wine Internet Explorer for browsing WineHQ and one of the songs from The Police. I ran DOSBox successfully, and had to close it with the 'kill -9' command. https://www.openindiana.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfY_W9tt7NFOwFdhjGQEHrw BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Cuq91JIghCWN/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@MeditativeComputing:c Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-801865 DTube: https://d.tube/#!/c/meditativecomputing21 Minds: https://www.minds.com/philosophersdrink/

Part 1 of this OpenIndiana session. OpenIndiana is the direct continuation of OpenSolaris. It was forked during the time when the future of OpenSolaris was uncertain. Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle in 2010. Here in this part, we've installed LibreOffice already. I play around with the UI of it. I also browse firefox, which has a propensity to crash on this VM. Not sure whether it's the conditions of my VM or something else. I also install and run Wine. Lynx has been installed, but I run it in the next part. Parts 2 and 3 won't be on YouTube. Check out the links. https://www.openindiana.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfY_W9tt7NFOwFdhjGQEHrw BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Cuq91JIghCWN/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@MeditativeComputing:c Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-801865 DTube: https://d.tube/#!/c/meditativecomputing21 Minds: https://www.minds.com/philosophersdrink/

Part 2 of this OpenIndiana session. Still installing items. Sadly, winetricks doesn't seem to be one of them. The Wine version available for OpenIndiana 4.17. The latest is 6.0 stable and 6.9 development at the time of this video. I download and run Graphmatica, a very old program. I also use Lynx to check out the Floodgap Gopher Proxy. https://www.openindiana.org/ http://www.graphmatica.com/ http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfY_W9tt7NFOwFdhjGQEHrw BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Cuq91JIghCWN/ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@MeditativeComputing:c Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-801865 DTube: https://d.tube/#!/c/meditativecomputing21 Minds: https://www.minds.com/philosophersdrink/

What can I say? I ran an old Live CD of a 10-year-old version of Ubuntu Linux (11.04) and played around with it.
