DOS Games Discussion

Hello, in light of my recent increase in activity I thought I would introduce myself. While I joined sometime last year (October - November?) I have been a regular lurker on dosgames for a long time, at least since 2002 but likely a while before because I am sure I got C-DOGs and a number of other games we used to play during "computer club" at school from here.

Right now I am working on my dissertation to finish my masters this September and run a small freelance operation updating website designs and designing custom php and mysql based back ends.

I love dos, it was the first operating system I used with a laptop donated to me by a local businessman (the 8Mhz version Toshiba T3100) and I still have both the original Toshiba MS-DOS 3.3 System Disk and the laptop itself - which I rescued from my parents clearing out of their loft. I did have a Amstrad PCW8512 and an Amstrad PPC640 but they have been lost to time thanks to previous clearing outs while I was away at uni. The first programming language I learnt was Quick Basic on that Toshiba followed by C.

In any case I believe that's enough rambling, just thought I would say hi.
