My weekend reading is the story of Don Estridge, the manager who led the development of the IBM 5150 computer better known as the PC:

👆 I read the story of Don Estridge, the manager who led the development of the IBM PC. His decency is moving and long gone in the tech industry.

That story is worth reading not just for how Estridge pushed the boundaries of the computer industry, but also how he pushed the boundaries of humanity in business. Which these days is an oxymoron.

The second expansion for Barren Planet is Waterworld. Dapra's neighbouring planet Dalen is over 95% covered with water. And at the bottom of these oceans: crystal nodes! Let battle commence! Get it at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/7/barren-planet.

Gun Platforms are static land-based units, useful for defending ports. They're static units, but they have a longer firing range than any other unit in the game, so can keep enemy ships away from your Ports.

As you'd expect for a campaign called "Waterworld", most of the maps are made up of ocean. But there are small areas of land that poke up above the ocean surface, and there is a variety of terrain there.

Land in The Anarchic Kingdom is the measure of your success. It also influences how many peasants your barony can support: when you gain land, people move in. Play at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/64/the-anarchic-kingdom #anarchickingdom #ibmpc #msdos #cga
