Old Embarrassing UPL Issues

We’re not sure why you’re here, but for the love of God, please go to our later, less embarassing issues and ignore these! PLEASE! I was a really dumb 14/15 year old in 1999, and I had bad judgement.

ORIGINAL DOS FORMAT

DOS?!?

Even though it was 1999 and people hadn’t been using DOS for years, I liked releasing the UPL .txt issues in a format that was only properly rendered in DOS. This lasted from issue 003 through 012. It was stupid, but I loved the look and feel of the DOS Edit application. More recently I have gone back and converted the cheesy DOS formatted issues in to an equally cheesy, standard .txt equivalent. However, if for some strange reason you want to fire up DOSEmu or use your Windows command prompt and see how UPL003-UPL012 originally looked, you can download the archive in tar.gz or zip format by clicking here.
