The Global Dilemma: Guns or Butter 1.0
In The Global Dilemma, your task is to manage the "global dilemma" --the conflicting needs of the military and industry-- by allocating the production of various commodities (e.g. using the iron ore to produce more weapons will decrease the amount of iron available for industrial goods) and managing the army to defend against/conquer the opposing kingdom. It was the first "wargame" I recall that focuses on the tradeoffs between war and peace that arises from limited resources (and in this sense the game is much more "realistic" than games like Civilization in which resources are unlimited). The computer AI on hard level is also one of the best for its time. Highly recommended. ++++NEEDS DOSBOX TO RUN ON A MODERN PC++++THE MANUAL (a PDF) IS INCLUDED!

A variety of office utilities that you will find indispensible? Larry Laffer does Peter Norton? And you thought he was just a party animule. This is version 1.0 (was there another version?) The outside of the box says version 4.01, now I wonder what they could have been thinking? Everything should be self explanatory if you are at all familiar with the old command line. Included is the first page of the manual in PDF format. It will give you an idea of what each of these *utilities* do.

The Major BBS 6.25
This is a version of the infamous "mbbs4ever" package, setup inside of Qemu. This way it will work on 64bit Windows machines (or probably anything else that will run Qemu). By default you can telnet to port 4423 and you can enter the BBS directly. You can change the batch file to have the BBS listen to any port you want, just remember for port 23 (the default telnet port) you will need to run this as administrator. Because this is MBBS4EVER, you get an incredible selection of doors, lord, and tradwars of cours, along with majormud, of course. To extract you'll need to do something like this: "copy /b bbs001.7z+bbs002.7z+bbs003.7z+bbs004.7z bbs.7z" then "7zip x bbs.7z". Sorry

"There are 64 rooms in the current maze and there are five treasure chests. The point of the maze is to find the five chests. Your viewpoint is that of someone standing within the maze, and you can only see part of the maze at one time. Simple? Perhaps, perhaps not. The rooms aren't always what they seem and you'll find that you end up somewhere other than where you expected. Doors have bad habits too, but I'll let you work that out."
