Hi, I am 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 1987-1995 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, Doctor Database and Mission1990 (a text adventure game similar to the games of Magnetic Scroll). Although I still have the source codes, I never managed to release any of them! Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32) was the inspiration guide for all this work...

Nowadays I have 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 (6128 connected with a Windows 7 laptop), a KONIX Joystick and a reset button. In 2005 I released my first demo, the Monkey Island 2 (see cpcrulez.fr), a 600 KB screen demo on the basis of the well known famous adventure game. I am mainly interested in collecting all CP/M-80 applications and OverScan Demos for the CPC (these are what make the difference!).

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 mainenance etc).

COSMOS, the personal cost monitoring system, which runs under CP/M-80 was my biggest project for the CPC. Its final version (v.27) was released in November 2021. My future plan is to release a screen based database for the CPC and CP/M-80....
