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's Database and Mission1990 (a text adventure game similar to the games of Magnetic Scroll). However, I never managed to release any of them! Notice that the standard CPC6128 was the main computer I had for my studies in the University. In 2002 I fitted a 3.5” and a 5.25” floppy drive in my old CPC6128, purchased a few external ROMs, some RAM expansion, a printer, an AMX mouse, a CTM monitor, an RS232C and a reset button. Thus the new CPC era had begun! 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. Nowadays, I am mainly interested in collecting all CP/M-80 applications and OverScan Demos for the CPC.

My CPC still fully active

I live in Athens and I was born in 1974. In my opinion, the CPC6128 was the 8-bit micro with the biggest potential because of its CP/M-80 business applications, its colorful overscan games/demos and its expansion capabilities. I still develop (MS-DOS like) programs for the CP/M-80 and the CPC just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems (budget and car maintenance monitoring). Notice, that the Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32, CAT problems) was the inspirational guide for all this work. My releases pertain to:

2005, The The Monkey Island II Demo demo.
2005-2021, COSMOS, the personal cost monitoring system which also includes ASCII Tools.
2024 June, On File database management system (50 years anniversary of CP/M-80).
2024 June, No One Like You Demo (40 years anniversary of CPC).
2025, June, On File Register (pending...)!.
