Want to play Wolfenstein 3D on Windows 10 / Linux ?
I've tested a couple things that work even better than DosBox!

I think these patches support Spear of Destiny as too ;)

ECWolf for Windows allows you to play Wolf3D on Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Due to lack of a test machine I can't verify it to work on Windows 8 (but others say it does...).

Linux users will need to get Wolf4SDL in order to play Wolfenstein 3D natively.
apt get usually works nicely for most distros ~ link is only for additional instruction.
Also linking this archive (of the developer's) page [Chaos-Software] for reference.

You will need your original Wolfenstein 3D game files for these to work.

Operating Systems:

Looking to make the change (from WinDoze) ??
Well here's a couple of distros to get you started!

Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

Get Ubuntu Ubuntu is completely free to download, use and share.

I will undoubtedly have more Linux links to share with you over the next few months.
As for me... it will probably be a while before I settle with any particular Linux flavor
since i like different things about all of the versions that I've tried so far.

Perhaps you'd like to try running Android (-broken link-) on your desktop?

The NoScript extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank).

Facebook Disconnect blocks all traffic from third-party sites to Facebook servers but still lets you access Facebook itself.

A short list of Wild Eatables

Cool Utilities...

FSP stands for File Service Protocol
www.720k.net is archiving FSP client and server software for Windows platforms.
The software is tested on different versions of Windows and the results posted.
They even offer a small list of FSP accessable sites.

UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several executable formats.

You can find a motherload of useful utilities at tinyapps.org... linking if only for my own use!

Speaking of motherloads... Here's a working mirror of simtel.net (ftp) ...loads of stuff that you either thought was extinct or never knew existed.
come to think of it... a simtelnet mirror might make for a good addition to this site... if only we had more bandwidth/speed...

Here's is a handy reference page
loaded with all kinds of information:

Simply the result of some DNS tinkering I tried back in 2003.
Haven't been able to successfully point another subdomain there since!
