Intellivision Operating System Revealed

Posted by simoniker on from the never-too-late-for-an-os-update dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the IntyOS site, which has released Version 0.2 Alpha of a "multitasked operating system for the Intellivision console." According to the site, IntyOS "..includes a powerful GUI which handles a mouse pointer, windows, menus, icons, etc", and was "..written from scratch in CP-1600 assembly language in order to fit exactly to the hardware specificities of the Intellivision. Its main goal is now to see how far it's possible to go with today's technologies on such a limited system from the early 80's" There's also a site mirror available, and the demo ROM is viewable in a Java applet.

    If someone can fit a GUI'd, multitasking OS in such a small amount of physical memory, why does Windows have to take up so much, or even Linux for that matter?

    Yeah, I'm kind of sick of projects to port/write an OS for every godawful piece of obsolete hardware available. Why waste time and effort making an elaborate system for paleolithic hardware, when one can get the same experience simply by running Windows XP on a P4?

    (Although to be fair I should point out that GNOME and KDE have recently become Windows without the grace and stability, because apparently an OS isn't competitive anymore unless it has fruity throbbing widgets.)
