DesertFOX<p>There are countless versions of TETRIS out there, but I believe one of the most beautiful versions out there, is the 1992 PC release of "TETRIS Classic" from Spectrum HoloByte.

DesertFOX<p>Back when I was a kid and ever since I got my own computer, I was equally excited about pretty much every new piece of software. Not just games, but also tools and applications. I guess, that's one of the reasons I still love to include oldschool office programs in my modern retro collection.</p><p>Anyway, here's a fresh KryoFlux disk set of Microsoft's Excel 5.0a for Windows 3.1.

DesertFOX<p>In 1993, I made the switch from Workbench 3.0 to Windows 3.1. Although I had been a proud Amiga owner at this point, Windows 3.1 looked so much more modern and elegant. It felt like a major upgrade. I will never understand why Commodore did such a lousy job with their user interface!</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Win311" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Win311</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WinUAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WinUAE</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/UIDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UIDesign</span></a></p>
DesertFOX<p>Microsoft Works was pretty popular back in the 90s. For a cheap price, you basically got slimmed down versions of Word and Excel.

DesertFOX<p>Oh, cool... I think this is interesting: I just discovered that TextEddy, as one of probably very few applications, is compatible with the "Doors!" shell extension. </p><p>If Doors! is discovered running by TextEddy, it moves all its menu items to the Doors! menu at the top of the screen, making Windows 3.1 look and feel even more like a Macintosh system.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retro</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Win311" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Win311</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DataBecker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataBecker</span></a></p>

DesertFOX<p>After several weeks of shipping from eBay USA, I just received another rare PC release of the 1993 RPG classic "Castle of the Winds" for Windows 3.x. This one features some awesome box art I had never seen before!</p><p>Unfortunately, the 720K DD diskette didn't even survive my first read attempt.

vga256<p>for some reason, tonight i suddenly remembered a terribly drawn splash screen with someone screaming the words "Get That Girl!!". i had thought it might have been from a trashy flash game from the 00's, so i started digging around flash sites for it...</p><p>... it turned out to be from a hilariously bad windows 3.1 shareware game 🤣 i would have downloaded this in the early 1990s from my mom's university lab.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/OlkVFbDAWdE?feature=shared" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/OlkVFbDAWdE?feature=s</span><span class="invisible">hared</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/win311" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>win311</span></a></p>
DesertFOX<p>Back in 1991, Data Becker released "Mamba" for Windows 3.x. It was part of their popular "Goldene Serie" collection. I still remember this little game quite fondly.
