And the most iconic PC video game box of all time? Has to be #Dune 2.

Like Civ, they could've had all kinds of epic things here - massive tank battles, a scene from the Emperor's palace, a Carryall dropping off a harvester. The US release got a trooper standing in front of a windtrap. But everywhere else got this tranquil yet disturbing desert scene - and at some point, I'm going to scan this box, and get a huge print of it for my wall. 🏁

What were your favourites? #retrogaming #pcgaming

Inspired by a thread on Discord, here's some of the most iconic #retrogaming and #pcgaming box art from my collection.

At #4 for me is One Must Fall 2097, a futuristic Mortal Kombat-alike for PC but with giant robots. I never had the official strategy guide, so never knew about the destruction moves, but the one depicted on the box - a Nova ripping the head off a Shredder - always gave me a thrill while I popped the CD in the drive and waited for it to install. 🧵

Es hat mich tatsächlich über ein Jahr beschäftigt, aber ab sofort ist das IBM Betriebssystem PC DOS 2000 mit vollständigem, deutschem Handbuch komplett im Internet Archive abrufbar. Das sind insgesamt 686 Seiten in 300dpi, sauber gescannt und digital restauriert.

Bei PC DOS 2000 handelte es sich um die letzte offizielle Vollversion von DOS aus dem Jahre 1998, bereits mit sämtlichen Y2K Updates. Voll kompatibel zu Windows 3.x und Spielen für MS-DOS!

Disketten: archive.org/details/pcdos_2000
CD-ROM: archive.org/details/pcdos_2000

Viel Spaß!
