[SIGCIS-Members] Archives of old computer simulations

[Jeff Scott Nagy]

Dear Fenwick,

Stanford has a collection that might have some relevant stuff, if not Micro Globus or On the Campaign Trail. It's the Cabrinety Collection in the History of Microcomputing, finding aid here: http://pdf.oac.cdlib.org/pdf/stanford/mss/m0997.pdf

I haven't used this collection, but a quick glance at the aid pulls up, for instance, Presidential Campaign 1982 by Timeworks and Sunrise Software's Campaign '84.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Jeff

Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] Archives of old computer simulations


Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone had any suggestions of links to older political simulations running on Dos. I am particularly interested in two games, On the Campaign Trail and Micro Globus both from the 1980s. I have looked into the Internet Archive and some library catologs with limited success. I guess I am looking for recommendations for other software archives. Any help is appreciated.


Take care and stay safe in these times.


Be good,
Fenwick McKelvey
