Windows 95 work in Linux

 Even if we are not interested in Microsoft's operating systems, we use this interesting application on our desktop to maybe try out vintage games! Born August 24th 1995, Windows 95 is the first 16/32 bit hybrid operating system with graphic interface marked Microsoft and replaces the old DOS. Abandoned in 2001, it is exhumed, twenty-three years after the his release, from an imaginative developer, Felix Rieseberg, who offers it to us running on our desktop. 

 This is clearly a nostalgic operation, given that our operating system is light years ahead.Nothing prevents us from dusting off old Windows programs, no longer functioning with the current Microsoft operating system, like certain amusing video games.  In practice, this interesting application can become part of a Wine substitute and give us a smile.

OpenRA - Classic strategy games, rebuilt for the modern era

  Today we decided to play with Westwood Studio's late nineties strategic titles: Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn and Dune 2000. All, without Wine or any other type of emulation, but using only what Linux offers . OpenRA is the answer to questions about how to do something like that. This carefully recreated Open Source engine is common to all three games. 
  OpenRA, in fact, allows Red Alert to work in a practically perfect way, just as Julius succeeds with Cesar III. The engine comes with a built-in wizard, which requires only a few mouse clicks to download the original assets of the chosen game. The titles are very similar, but the graphics are practically unique for each of them. With OpenRA, therefore, the plot remains in a secondary position and it does not matter if the war takes place in a parallel timeline where Nazi Germany does not exist.

  The game, in any case, always takes into consideration the classic confrontation between East and West. Regardless of the front you choose, the things to do are always the same: to build a powerful and productive military economy, extract gold, train soldiers and attack the enemy as soon as possible. In this regard, if you can launch an offensive before your opponent does, you will undoubtedly have the advantage. 
  OpenRA is a complete and highly developed game with intelligent robots, multiplayer modes and a rich set of missions, as well as fun tricks and characters. You will therefore appreciate the quality of OpenRA in a number of ways, including the well-designed interface where most actions can be taken from the keys. Finally, you'll enjoy a powerful network mode, ideal for the most ferocious battles with friends, as well as an exceptional game speed.

Let's make Linux work on an Android device

  Let's test UserLAnd, the new free application that we find in the store of ours smartphone and that allows us to have some Linux programs always with us.
  As many of us already know, Android is an operating system created by Google which is based on Linux, just like Ubuntu. Unfortunately however, until today, these two worlds are remained almost separate. Long last this obstacle was brilliantly passed thanks to an application that we find in the Play Store of our mobile device: UserLAnd. One time installed, we will find a list of operating systems and Linux applications that we will be able to easily install and use even with the smartphone.
