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). Although I still have the source codes, I never managed to release any of them! Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32) was the inspiration guide for all this work... <br> <br>

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!). <br><br>

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. Inspired and motivated by the greek Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32, CAT problems), I still develop (MS-DOS like) programs for the CP/M-80 and the CPC6128 just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems (budget and car maintenance monitoring). I like/prefer single tasking computers because they allow you to focus on your work without being distracted by messages, emails, reminders, notifications, other processes etc, etc.

My CPC 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...)!.
