OMG!! i remember playing this as a kid. I think i had the same computer or something cause i remember the exact same boot up and everything right down to the amount of ram although we must of got the comp a few years later cause i was born in 84 so id be too young to remember that i believe we got it second hand from my uncle or something. This brings back so many great memories that was my first comp ever and i had family feud too!!! I would memorize the dos commands people typed in ahhh...

@Arian9 Sounds like you did have a Tandy 1000 series computer, they made a lot of them, there was the all-in-one models like the 1000 EX, and the desktop versions like the original 1000, SX, HD, TL/2, TL/3. It was one of the most popular PC (in the IBM Compatible sense) manufacturers/models of the 1980's.

Howcome the DOS text goes all sorts of strange colours when it displays the copyright information and the files on the disk, but when it displays the system memory size it's standard white on black text?

@Lachlant1984 It's an artifact of composite video, I'm not sure if I understand it fully, but I know a part of it has to do with the resolution being too high for the output medium.

[creepingnet]

@creepingnet Yeah, that did not come about till I think the Tandy 1000/TL, when the machines were running 286 processors methinks. Before that, you still had to use boot-floppies, unless you got one of the more expensive Hard Disk models

When you said "dining room", the response was "that answer has been used". What? A kitchen is a dining room?

[creepingnet]

There are times where the Dining Room is a PART of the kitchen, some homes have a separate one, others have it as a part of the kitchen, so I Have heard of a kitchen being referred to as a dining room.

@Lachlant1984 Composite video artifacts are much more visible in high (horizontal) resolution but you can notice some color bleeding in low resolution (as in memory size screen and Family Feud game) also. This is because of the way the color information is encoded into the video signal.
