Title File Size Graphics Sound Cracked? Boots? Runs on: Comments Extras
DeluxePaint Camera 8 KB all Use this program to take snapshots of your favorite games, then edit them with DeluxePaint (on this site) to touch them up and save them as .PCX files. Can be used to take Tandy/PCjr 320x200x16-color snapshots as well, but you need to use "/format=m" as a command-lint parameter.
DeluxePaint IIe 916 KB c,e,v,t,h,X all Best pixeler ever. Requires a mouse.
Fantavision 252 KB c,e,t p ? n 8086,286 Unique animation tool way ahead of its time: created complex animations with vector-based objects and tweening Diskshot
Graphics Master c all Fairly nice drawing program you use with the keyboard
Microsoft Windows 1.01 709 KB c,e Hilarious. Shows you just how far they've come, and what's still stayed exactly the same. Has some bugs and problems with DOS versions over 3.0; you might need to use setver.exe to fake it out. Screenshot
Microsoft Windows 2.03 1.31 MB c,e,? More of the same. :-)
Microsoft Windows 3.0 4.38 MB c,e,v,h p y n all The last version of Windows to run on an 8086. Patches
Microsoft Word 5.0 (DOS) (dir) all A truly great word processor, probably the last good small/fast/tight product from Microsoft.
Microsoft/IBM Macro Assembler 80 KB The granddaddy of development tools for the IBM, this package has everything you need to write an application or game, EDLIN included. Download this, take a look inside, and try to use it. You'll then see just how amazing early PC developers were.
Multiplan 105 KB Microsoft Spreadsheet program, back before Lotus took over the market. Not bad, considering its age and target platform.
Music Construction Set c P,t n y 8086,286 The one and only. I have many different songs for this.
PC Write Lite 193 KB all Small, fast word processor that was very popular for a time; some shareware program documentation is written in PC Write format. Great for single-floppy systems with dot-matrix or letter-quality (daisywheel) printers.
PFS Write 174 KB all A small, quick, functional word processor. Very clean interface.
Quickbasic 4.5 885 KB
Run/C 121 KB This is a unique beast: a C interpreter. Doesn't compile, but programs start executing instantly. Great for learning (but poor for developing, of course).
Turbo Pascal 2 81 KB
Turbo Pascal 3 82 KB The Pascal compiler that built an empire.
WordStar 2000 (Italian version) 1002 KB
WordStar 5 1.30 MB c,e,v all A late eighties version of the venerable word processor for microcomputers.
