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 Database and Mission1990 (a text adventure game similar to the games of Magnetic Scroll). However, I never managed to release any of them! Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32) was the inspiration guide for all this work...

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!).

I still make programs for the CPC and CP/M just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems (budget, car mainenance etc).

COSMOS, the personal cost monitoring system, which runs under CP/M-80 was my biggest project for the CPC. Its final version (v.27) was released in November 2021. My future plan is to release an screen based database for the CPC and CP/M-80....
