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! I was also a big fan of Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32). Nowadays I have a 6128 with a CTM and GT monitor, a double 3.5”/5.25” floppy drive unit, ParaDOS, X-DDOS and R-DOS ROMs, Dobbertin 512 KB RAM expansion, an EPSON LX printer, an AMX mouse, a RS232C (6128 connected with a Windows 7 laptop), a KONIX Joystick and a reset button. 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. I am mainly interested in collecting all CP/M-80 applications and OverScan Demos for the CPC (these are what make the difference!).

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...)!.
