Ok, has anyone made a program that will eat up a customizable chunk of conventional memory in DOS? I would like that for testing purposes, so I don't have to dick around with loading every driver & tsr I can think of, and save myself some time.

StrataVision was the 3D modeling and rendering package used to produce graphics of the original Myst. They are so proud of this that even right now if you get the latest version of it ("Strata Design 3D SE", free on Steam,) it comes with a bunch of Myst assets in its library:

When Russian urban fantasy supernatural film "Night Watch" (2004) was released outside of Russia, a new version was produced. An inferior one, imo. Since then the "International" version became the one distributed across all formats, and the original 115 min cut was confined to a DVD released only in Russia.

Now you can find a direct stream copy of the DVD together with official English subtitles in an MKV here: https://archive.org/details/night-watch-2004-original

Since it's Russian media produced by the state, here's a quick note:

The director of the film Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) spoke out against Russian war in Ukraine.

The writer of the source novel Sergey Lukyanenko banned Ukrainian translations of his books, denies Ukraine's existence, and wished violence on Ukrainian children.

So that's where we're at 20 years later. 🤷‍♂️

Obviously whoever uploaded it has committed a terrible sin, but The Book of Mormon Game is now available for playing in browser or a download on the Internet Archive:
