When I was a kid, early 90s, we had a family computer that had MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. It had a kind of menu screen that you got into from typing in a command in DOS. From this screen you could press the corresponding letter to open games and Windows 3.1. I remember games like Prince of Persia, Lemmings, Alley Cat, Seawolf, The Incredible Machine, Oil’s Well and many more. There was also a letter to press to get to a second screen with more games.
Anybody know what this ‘menu’ was? I always thought it was a part of DOS but no commands.
Someone suggested in a FB group I try draw it so I did. Can’t for the life of me remember the colors, but I think I recall there being an option to invert the colors and I always used the dark setting. And when you pressed the change screen option it would take you to the second page with more games where the letter would continue to Z.
I was recommended may bath programs like Dosshell, Norton Commander etc etc but still haven’t found it. Just trying my luck for nostalgic purposes.
