Wow, some really interesting things in here! It boots straight into “program manager” which seems like a sort of modified version of dosshell ?
Then there is dosshell itself, rebanded as the file-manager… so it looks like they were aiming for a sort of hybrid dos that was a bit like windows.
Diffierences in Qbasic – different demos, there are some demos from QuickBasic, a strange maze game and gorillas is ‘castles’ in this.
