You can play this puzzle collection in your browser here.

The only other game in the series I could find (using the incredible Discmaster) is Asylum 3, which you can download here (WINGAMES/ASYLUM3.ZIP) and run on modern versions of Windows by dragging it onto otvdm.exe, which you can download here.

so a few days ago, i found out about a site called DiscMaster for the first time thanks to this video. it's a site that lets you sift through the contents of CDs that have been uploaded to internet archive over the years, cool huh? so after browsing for mario stuff for a few minutes, i stumbled upon footage of what appears to be... an EARLY VERSION OF MARIO'S GAME GALLERY??? of course, i lost my marbles after finding this

this video showcases the 5 games available in Game Gallery, as seen in an early version of the game's Mac OS port. Mario looks quite different, wearing a different suit on the title screen with much goofier sprites over all. he's got big eyes, a huge mouth, small buttons, orangey hair, and is less polished from the looks of things the mario head in the mac version's "about" box might be a remnant from this point in development, now that i think about it

so where on earth does this video come from? well, out of all the places it could've come from, like a gaming-related press kit or something, it comes from the Nautilus CD Magazine Volume 5-9 September 1995 Windows Edition disc

from what i can gather, Nautilus was some sort of "magazine-on-a-CD" for Macintosh that had been running since like 1992 if this article from COMPUTE! magazine says anything

the video can be found in the "reviews" folder, inside a folder simply titled "mario". it's an .avi simply titled "mario" and next to it is a file called "mario.doc" which contains a review for the game.

it's a pretty interesting read, seems like it's written by someone who's not very in-touch with mario. interesting seeing someone like that consider mario's accent as "broken english" rather than just... his accent, y'know? so uh, yeah! that's all i have to say about this hope you're interested, and happy mar10 day!

Asogli Yam Festival Concert pulls massive crowd – over 15,000 attendees with headliners Edem, Camidoh, Cina Soul, Chief One, Keeny Ice

New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/asogli-yam-festival-concert-pulls-massive-crowd-over-15000-attendees-with-headliners-edem-camidoh-cina-soul-chief-one-keeny-ice/

Asogli Yam Festival Concert pulls massive crowd – over 15,000 attendees with headliners Edem, Camidoh, Cina Soul, Chief One, Keeny Ice

Who would have thought a surprise concert erected under 48 hours would have pulled over 15,000 audiences in Ho? Yep, it sure did, courtesy of the top-notch production by Events 21 and coupled with the power plug promotion gurus at Beenie Words – both run by renowned and multiple award-winning Ghanaian Publicist, Elorm Beenie.

Dubbed “Time With The Stars”, the Asogli Street Carnival hosted 5 major artistes – Edem, Camidoh, Cina Soul, Chief One, Keeny Ice – as its HEADLINERS. It happened at the Forecourt of White House in Ho on Sunday, October 1, 2023.

“Time With The Stars” Concert is in lieu of this year’s Asoli Yam Festival Celebrations as well as celebrating the 20th Anniversary of The Paramount Chief of The Asogli State, Agbogbomefia Togbe Afede XIV.

The 8-hour street carnival hosted mostly indigenous talents ranging from Musicians to Dancers throughout the night to throw more spotlight on this year’s activities by The Asogli State. Young and buzzing talents who also took turns to climb the stage were Enamily, Tuf B, Rizzlah Stylah, Rasta Boy (Klante Nation), Blaze Bwoy, Weezy Bwoy, Big Rhino, Joey Mulla, Kayrien, SameKidd, just to name a few.

MCs for the historic event were DiscMaster Bone of West 97.5FM, Selekta Bonthy of Ho 92.5FM and MCee Flexal of Swiss 93.7FM. DJ Cyril of Stonecity 90.7FM.

The event was funded by Togbe Afede XIV and Asogli State.

Below are some breathtaking images from the event. Photo Credits: @MAVFilmsGh. You can follow the event organizers on Social Media @Events21Ghana and @BeenieWords.

A developer came to me a week ago with a project they’d been working on for over a year. The proposition of what they offered and the importance of what it would mean to historical software at Internet Archive was so compelling that within 48 hours, we’d announced it to the world.

The site is DISCMASTER.TEXTFILES.COM, and within its stacks lie multitudes of previously hidden software treasure, and a directed search engine that makes it a top-notch research tool.

More than a fascinating site, though, it represents some philosophies regarding the Archive’s stacks that are worth exploring as well

Time Travelers - Adventure One Demo (Windows 3.1, Gruffy Ink, 1993)

You can download it here. Important instructions below.

Instructions:

Drag the installer onto otvdm.exe from here and install the game, remembering the chosen location. (Choose 'No' when prompted about backups during installation. You can click 'Cancel' when prompted to create a program group; it will say the installation was aborted by the game will still be in the chosen location.)

Download VBRUN300.DLL from here, WAVE1.VBX from here and MHOP200.VBX and MHRUN500.DLL from here (use Ctrl+F to find the latter three).

Drag the four downloaded files into the same folder as the game (not the shortcut created if you created a program group).

Drag the game onto otvdm.exe. When a white message appears, click it; if not happens, wait a moment and click it again. After if disappears, wait a moment for the actual program to open.

This would not have been possible without the excellent Discmaster site.

The content was sourced from the Internet Archive where Scott is employed, but it isn’t affiliated with the organization. Think of it as a search layer on top of data already available on the Internet Archive. In fact, Scott mostly just named the tool and is hosting it. He told Ars Technica that an anonymous group of history-loving programmers is responsible for 99.999 percent of the project, all…

bunlar, çocukken izlemeye korktuğum düşük bütçeli korku, uzaylı, istismar, yamyam, süper kahraman ve gerilim türündeki ve konularındaki filmlerin anahtar kelimeleri.

sabah regular show-the discmasters bölümünde son laserdisc’i kurtarmak için vhs ile yapılan savaşı (bu savaşta uyanan koruyuculardan ikisi çok sonra online yayın ile yapılan savaşta yeniden karşımıza çıkacak) izledim, şimdi ise vhs’lerin peşinden giden bir grup adamın çektiği romantik bir belgesele denk geldim.
