This is a nostalgia thread where you can post (and comment on) screenshots of vintage software you were using.
Well, I'll start with what I considered the software 'triumvirate' in early 1990.
The good old WordStar. I didn't use it for long, though, since I quickly switched to ChiWriter.
Lotus 1-2-3. Of course, it was long before Excel.
Dbase III+. I was still a Junior Highschcool student at that time, and had no need for a database software. Still, having an address book on my PC was quite a blast at that time.
And now, the games.
Digger by Windmill Software. Would you believe once I spent all night long playing this one?
And this is what you called a game's "main screen" those days.
Microprose Soccer; my brother's favorite.
This is Accolade's Test Drive, played in 4-color CGA.
Jordan Mechner's Karateka. This is actually my first "long game" before I was introduced to the likes of Police Quest and Ultima 6. Just a note, Karateka does not have savegame feature.
