Changes

Hi, I am My name is Dimitrios Karalis and I am very happy being part of the CPCWiki community. I live in Athens and I was born in 1974.During the period 1987-1992 I developed several applications for the CP/M-80 and the CPC6128. To name a few: Hotel Manager, Technical Dictionary, CPCWrite, Basket Game Monitoring Tool, Music Metronome, The Doctor's Database and Mission-1990 (a text adventure game similar to the games of Magnetic Scroll). Although I still have got the source codes, I never managed to release any of them! Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32) was the inspirational guide for all this work...Nowadays I have got a 6128 with a CTM and GT monitor, a double 3.5”/5.25” floppy drive unit, ParaDOS, X-DDOS and R-DOS ROMs, Dobbertin 512 KB RAM expansion, an EPSON LX printer, an AMX mouse, a RS232C, a KONIX Joystick and a hand made reset button. I am mainly interested in collecting all CP/M-80 applications and OverScan Demos/Games for the CPC. In 2005 I released my first demo, the "Monkey Island 2 demo" (see cpcrulez.fr), a 600 KB screen demo on the basis of the well known famous adventure game. I still make programs for the CPC and [[CP/M]] just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems (budget, car maintenance, etc). <br>

During the period 1987-1995 I developed several applications for the CP/M-80 and the CPC. To name a few: Hotel Manager, Technical Dictionary, Basket Game Editor Tool, Music Metronome, Doctor's Database and Mission1990 (a Magnetic Scroll's type text adventure game). However, I never managed to release any of them! In 2002 I fitted a 3.5” and a 5.25” floppy drive in my old CPC, purchased a few external roms, some ram expansion, a printer, an AMX mouse, a CTM monitor an RS232C and a reset button. Thus the new CPC era had begun! In 2005 I released my first demo, the Monkey Island II, a 600 KB screen demo on the basis of the well known famous adventure game. [[Cosmos|COSMOS]], the personal cost monitoring system, (which runs under CP/M-80 is also includes [[ASCII Tools]]) was my biggest project for the CPC(2005-2021). Its final version (v.27) was released in November 2021. <br><br> In summer 2024 (40 years of CPC, 50 years of CP/M-80) [[Cosmos|COSMOSOn File]] vdatabase management system will be released for the CPC and CP/M-80.25 was released in July 2020!
