      I used something like that, but can't remember the name of it. I think it was built into DOS v6 or maybe one of the 5's

        I just remember running this on my 386 as a kid and playing Wolfenstein. Before that I had a Tandy 2000 with dual 5.25" floppy drives.

              The first computer I remember was my Dad's 286... The first one I had was a 486 with math coprocessor and 4MB of RAM (it was a hand me down)

                  Haha, they were hand me downs from my dad. He had a side shop. He also did estimating for a paving company and managed their PDP-11.

                      So you linked this topic in another thread, and I just read through this. Did anyone else use HDM on DOS?

                      In middle and high school we had something like that. It was a hand coded console graphics and batch programs that would run what you chose. You're taking me back. It might have originally been made on a program like that, but the students quickly learned how to customize it.
