Doom Runs on Everything | MVG

ant says...

I played it on my king ant's huge and heavy office IBM P70 portable computer that was a 386 10 Mhz PC. It had a monochrome monitor, internal Hayes 2400 dial-up modem, and no sound card. It was so choppy, but still worth it.

I remember it taking like 3 hours to download. Worth every minute.

History of Microsoft Paint 1985 - 2017 [LGR Retrospective]

ant says...

I remember discovering it in Windows 3.0 on my king ant's work's IBM P70 portable computer. It had orange monochrome colors. Haha. I thought it was neat since after using Apple 2's Dazzle Draw!

Glad to hear they're not completely getting rid of it. MS Paint was my childhood!

The Cicret Bracelet-Concept/Scam/Want

What they're showing certainly is ridiculous, but I'd be pretty happy with a monochrome green projection. That said, in all likelihood some sort of flexible OLED patch or wrist band would probably be practical long before this is. Probably even some sort of fluorescing tattoo.

I do like the possibilities of short throw pico projectors combined with machine vision for user interfaces though. You could take Newtboy's dual projector concept and have something the size of a couple marker pens that unrolls like a scroll, with the screen in the middle.

When it comes down to it, though, what I really want right now is something about the size of a smartphone, with minimized thickness an e-ink display and a limited feature set (phone, text, e-mail, and basic web surfing), the whole design optimized for battery life and performing just those four functions adequately. An easily replaceable battery would be nice too.

You would need to be in a very dark environment for it to look anything like what they show. You can't project anything darker than the screen surface.

I dragged a computer from my neighbors garbage when I was 8 years old. A 286 with a monochrome monitor. I learnt to program in BASIC then HTML then Java then turning then C then action script.
shits fun as hell.

Interesting. I was unaware of the Commodore 64 version, Mr. Sid!

Sweet links ant, thanks!

Not quite, it's the original version: Barbarian for the Commodore 64. Death Sword was a clone of that...
