    I took a look about C language in DOS.
     
    First. You need a plain text editor to write your codes.

     
    Then compile it with Microsoft  C.

     
    And use link to make an executable file.

     
    Programming is more easily in 1990s when all computers have hard disk.

    Browsing unless website, I spotted a Mattel video game system called HyperScan released in 2005.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperScan
     
    HyperScan is somebody would say advance for its time, can scam cards from games to make it to run
    like Nintendo does with Amiibos.
     
    I don't have this console but based on many reviews, Hyperscan is an awful system to play with dated graphics and difficult to scan cards and poor games.
     
    We are lucky Mattel didn't name this console Intellivision Hyperscan.
     
    It could be an embarrassment to use Intellivision name.

    TV starts acting funny

    By Serguei2,

    My Toshiba TV screen becomes darker and one moment later brighter.
     
    It happens with other channels too.
     

     
    That reminds me when my monitor had the same thing before it dies years ago.
     
    Probably I will buy a new tv set one day.

    Unlike other consoles, Google Stadia is a console where it can play games from cloud, not from hard disk, sd or other devices.
     
    The problem with it, if Google decides to terminate its console, we would get an orphaned console without games because Stadia only plays cloud games.
     
    If Atari 2600 was a cloud console instead cartridges, nobody would play it today.
     
    What a shame.

    YouTube new policies

    By Serguei2,

    From now, YouTube users need to tell if their videos are made for children or not.
    https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9527654?hl=en
     
    Myself, I can't tell if some of my videos are for kids. 
     
    I make them for everybody, not just for kids.

    I just checked my old catalogues and I noted console games are higher than pre-NES.
     
    Before NES, console games are around $10- $40. Computer games are around $30-$60.
     
    With NES and other consoles starts having games the same price than computers, around $40-$90. Commodore 64 has lower price games.
     
    Only Atari 2600 has decent prices around $20-$35 until 1992.
     
    $ = Canadian dollar.

    I follow my rules when it's time to buy a new video game system.
     
    1 - The system must be good and available in almost stores.
     
    2 - The games I want so hard to play it.
     
    3 - The games must be physical, not digital.
     
     
    I bought Atari Lynx just to play Ms Pac-Man. The Gameboy version was not available yet.
     
    Luckily, I also bought later, S.T.U.N. Runner, Steel Talons and Lemmings. They are all great on the Lynx.
     
    In 2018, I bought New Nintendo 3DS, just to play Minecraft. 
     
    Ok. I know Minecraft is also available on PC but in digital only. That's why I bought New 3DS and the game.
     
    Luckily, I also enjoy Etrian Odyssey games, The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time. They are all great.
     
    Recently, I follow Intellivision Amico, a family video game system. It uses the same kind of controller likes the original Intellivision released in 1979 except, it has four buttons and a touch screen likes Nintendo DS and mobiles/tablets for additional experiences.
     
    I'm not sure if I like playing with this kind of controller. I maybe need to play it for a while if there are Amico booths at the stores.
     
    None of the Amico games at the launch would make me to buy the system at the moment.
     
    A family system means games will be for everyone without any blood, swearing or other things it would not appropriate for kids.
    Mortal Kombat series would probably out of question on that system.
     
    Ok. I need to wait until Amico is released in 2020 to decide if I buy it or not.

    I always wonder if the names from Conquest of the new world are real.
     

     
    After a little researches from wikipedia, few names are from military.
     
    Don George: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_George_Franck
     
    Lady Marsha: from a recent actress?  http:// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_Fitzalan
     
    Lord William: http:// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_William_Bentinck
     
    Sir Gregory: http:// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Gregory_Page,_1st_Baronet
     
    I can't find Viceroy Michael and Viceroy Byon from wikipedia.
     
    Leo Brocoli: it was me.

    I inserted a miniSD card in my mp3 player.
     
    Then I tried to play new songs. The mp3 player does not reconise the sd card.
     
    I checked and I noted the sd card is not inserted.
     
    I took a look at the desk and the floor. Nothing.
     

     
    Weeks later, the mp3 player makes noises when I shake it.
     
    I realised the SD card must be inside it somehow.
     
    I can't find a way to retrieve it without ruining my mp3 player.
     
    Instead, I use another SD card.

    Strange error.

    By Serguei2,

    I worked on my colecovision game when I get this message:
     

     
    I'm not really sure 'Evelyn the modified dog' means but I guess my one of my game turned into a monster.
     
    I'm not sure 'Conditional flow changed by optimizer' either. 
     
    I will work on m game if this message keeps showing. If it the case, I might ask for help.
     
     
    Alright. It's late. I'm going to sleep.
     
    See you another day. Bye.

    Classic music

    By Serguei2,

    I like listening classic music from time in time but I won't spend all day listening to them.
     
    Most radio stations play any kind of songs except classic music.
     
    For some reason, listening classic music for me is more like listening silent movies even if classic music is more older than movies.
     

     
    My favourites are: Chopin, Mozart, Tchaïkovski, Strauss and others.

    Challenging Google

    By Serguei2,

    Albert, the owner of Atariage, said Google (and other search sites) could show screenshots from my club.
     

     
    Yeah! Google found a picture from "the official Robin Gravel's club".
     
    Actually, it's a banner from the main club page where everybody can see anyway.
     
    But can Google find my pictures from my topics/blogs inside my club?
     
    Only the time will tell.

    I just discovered my cat gave birth. 
     

     
    I can't tell when Grizeline gave birth.
     
    Mom knows where to hide her kitties.
     
    I think it's three kitties from the picture.
     
    How cute. ?
     
    But we have to deal with these new cats too.
