vga256back in the mid-90s just prior to sierra's downfall into fmv and poorly funded titles (their sale to CUC international), the company started looking for low-risk low-profit income avenues. in the post-doom FPS feeding frenzy, the bloom was off adventure games. they were expensive to produce, and their audience was shrinking fast.one solution was recycling old software, and honestly, it was great for a 13 year old kid like me, because it meant that i could buy a "sierra game" for $10 instead of the $60-$80 i would normally have to pay for a flagship titleCrazy Nick's Software Picks were collections of mini-games taken from sierra adventures. there were several of them - LSL, King's Quest - I happened to find this Conquest of the Longbow pack at a pharmacy.the games were *great* - Archery and Nine Men's Morris kept me absolutely occupied for weeks. I had no idea at the time that they were culled from a full sierra adventure, until I discovered it by accident in my twenties.today i found my copy of the game, buried in another game box. it still has the greasy kid fingerprint from me eating a bag of Old Dutch (regular) chips while i played<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/sierra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sierra</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroGaming</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/adventureGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adventureGames</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/dosGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dosGaming</a>

vga256today's archival/software preservation work -i noticed that PCBoard BBS software's wikipedia article mentioned something kinda weird - that just before clark development went bankrupt in 1997, it was building a server called MetaWorlds... an attempt at bridging the ansi-based BBS with the WWW. sadly, the software never made it out of beta, and was nowhere to be found.. until today it seems! i managed to dig it out of the glorious ibm wgam-wbiz collection, and i've uploaded a copy to IA:<a href="https://archive.org/details/metaworlds_beta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/metaworlds_beta</a>i honestly don't really understand what MetaWorlds does, so i'm hoping a PCBoard wiz manages to get it talking to their pcb instance, and lets us know how it all works.update: located a newer beta. uploaded here: <a href="https://archive.org/details/metaworlds-beta-17" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/metaworlds-beta-17</a>final update: version 1.02 (final) found! <a href="https://archive.org/details/pcb-metaworlds" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/pcb-metaworlds</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroComputing</a>

vga256back in the early and mid-90s, getting on the net meant you were a university student, or had corporate access through a big company. getting online wasn't easy.worse, even if you had a dialup number and login, there was no such thing as a tcp/ip stack built-in to Windows 3.1. even if you *did* have a winsock stack, you'd still need a file downloading protocol, gopher client, world wide web client, ftp client, email client. just getting your machine off the ground was nearly impossible unless you could grab these from a local BBSto make things simpler, universities began offering dial-up internet software packages to their students and staff.in 1994, my mom was an undergrad student at the University of Alberta. our family had just bought an IBM PS/1 with a 2400 baud modem, and i was abusing the hell out of our single phone line at night visiting local BBSes.she somehow found out that the university was selling internet dial-up software for $10 to students, and brought home the diskette pack with her. along with a USR Sportster 14.4k modem, she gave me the install diskettes as a valentine's day gift.it had a slick setup program that enabled SLIP using Trumpet Winsock, and provided a local (free!) dial-up number for access.after 25 years, i finally tracked down a few versions of those diskettes. i've imaged them and uploaded them all to IA.the first version of the dial-up package in 1994 was called WinSLIP. it had no PPP support yet, but contained some really cool shareware internet utilities like HGopher and NCSA Mosaic. this would have been the earliest programs offered for Windows 3.1WinSLIP/MSKermit 1994/95: <a href="https://archive.org/details/ua_winslip" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/ua_winslip</a>The second version of the software was renamed to NetSurf. It stripped out most of the obscure shareware sadly, and replaced them with Netscape 2 and Eudora Light. The new version of Trumpet Winsock offered PPP which was a huge improvement:NetSurf 1996/97: <a href="https://archive.org/details/ua_netsurf_96" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/ua_netsurf_96</a>Now well into the Windows 95 era, the 1997/98 software was shipped on a CD with a hilarious "multimedia" installer/help program designed in Macromedia Director:NetSurf 1997/98: <a href="https://archive.org/details/netsurf-97-starter-kit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/netsurf-97-starter-kit</a>I hope this brings back some memories for fellow U of A alumni :)<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/webPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webPreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win31</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/worldWideWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldWideWeb</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yeg</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alberta</a>

vga256caligari truespace 4.0 source for win9xas released by the scene group Revolt in 1998this is not my release - just my archival work. the source for truespace has been hiding in plain sight for 25+ years. having exhausted all my known avenues for finding an "official" seal of approval from the publisher, community-based preservation is the only possibility now.the story: apparently someone from Revolt went to caligari's public FTP server in the late 90s, and found that an employee had left the full source for TrueSpace 4 in a /pub folder. it was released on BBSes and on IRC in the late 90s, and disappeared from the internet soon after.doing some research on TrueSpace - truly the best piece of 3D modelling/rendering software aside from Bryce in the 90s - i stumbled upon a brief mention of the source code in an ancient usenet post. tracking down the release involved searching the *exceptional* scenelist.org NFO database, and trying to figure out the exact filename of the warez release.SCiZE, the scenelist.org owner, did not have the files on his BBS. fortunately, he knew exactly where to find the release: it was buried in the massive 500GB "ibm-wgam-wbiz-collection" on IA. knowing the exact filename made it so much easier to track down in there!so, have some fun with it. this doesn't belong on github or any publicly scrapable source site. just download it and let's see who can manage to compile it first :)see the instructions in revolt.nfo for extra help on compiling<a href="https://archive.org/details/ts4src" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/ts4src</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/warez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warez</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win95</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a>

vga256urgh. after a week of very interesting research and digging, i've located the source code for a very popular 3d rendering/modelling program from the 90s and 2000s: Caligari trueSpacedoes anyone in the digital preservation world know someone at the Microsoft Open Source Programs (OSPO) office? i'd love for this to be officially sanctioned as an OSS project.<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/digitpres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitpres</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windows98</a>

vga256friendly request for fellow software preservationists:i've been looking for a particular Win95-based program that was in use roughly from 1997-2000 called Peck's Power Post. it was a usenet binary posting program that was incredibly popular on binary groups in the late 90s, before it was replaced by Power Post 2000.I know that the filename was PPP06B.ZIP and/or PPP06BF.ZIPunfortunately, WBM didn't keep a proper archive of the file. the snapshot of <a href="http://www.visi.com/~loganx/PPP06b.zip" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://www.visi.com/~loganx/PPP06b.zip</a> appears to be corrupted, only downloading a 1MB file.the file is approximately 4MB total.discmaster and WBM have been searched exhaustively for this file with no luck. if you happen to know of another source for this very obscure program, i'd be indebted. 🙏 <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/worldWideWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldWideWeb</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/usenet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usenet</a>

vga256lost to mmorpg history are the design/code/bug exploits that players researched and shared with one another. developers worked feverishly to patch these as quickly as possible, relying upon word of mouth from players who submitted bug reports, or (more surreptitiously) having their own incognito accounts on forums where players shared exploit info.in the Ultima Online era, one of the most important and widely used was xsploitz.com. for several years, it was the grand central station of dark knowledge among players.much of the site was not archived because it was hidden behind an apache authentication wall. thankfully, the administrator posted daily updates on exploits that were made public. (these were only made public after they had been thoroughly used and abused by insiders of course)as far as i know, this is the first time this history has been publicly available again in 20+ years, purely due to link rot<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/19991118232649/http://xsploitz.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/19991118232649/http://xsploitz.com/</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20000119044454/http://www.xsploitz.com:80/old.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20000119044454/http://www.xsploitz.com:80/old.html</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/ultimaOnline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultimaOnline</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/mmorpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mmorpg</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a>

vga256found this 1984 CompuServe brochure inside of a copy of Tandy DeskMate for my old CoCo. i'm most interested in two things:image 1 - it has alternate cover art and copy, positioning CompuServe as the business leader's info source. there is another version of the same brochure with a bunch of gaming art on the front coverimage 2 - the a la carte service fees are TOTALLY INSANE, and far worse than any computing historian has remembered them. $12.50 USD / hr for 300 baud, and $15 USD / hr for 1200 baud. imagine the phone bills mom and dad got from the kid trying to download sierra adventure game hintsif anyone has a beef with SaaS, here's where that shit beganscanned and archived the entire booklet here for future researchers:<a href="https://archive.org/details/compuserve_intropak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/compuserve_intropak</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/computerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computerHistory</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroComputing</a>

vga256just stumbled upon a very obscure and surprisingly important patch that disappeared from github years ago: u7dcpTIL that Ultima VII: The Black Gate's memory manager - VooDoo - force-enables L1 cache on your machine whether you like it or not. this made it impossible for too-fast machines (like a Pentium 90 or 486 DX2-66/DX4-100) to slow down the game's internal timer7+ years ago, pippeli wrote an ASMx86 patch to disable this assembly instruction, which allows you to set L1 cache on/off to your taste. in other words: U7 can run at the right speed on many more modern machines using this DOS patch.after some sleuthing, source and binary are now permanently archived here:<a href="https://www.dialup.cafe/~vga256/ultima/u7dcp/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dialup.cafe/~vga256/ultima/u7dcp/</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultima</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamePreservation</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwarePreservation</a>
