That's what I remember too.

I briefly documented how to run Turbo Pascal 3.00A on a CP/M system a while back:

I'm doing that on a single-board Z80-based system, and it has to be said that writing pascal is a pleasure on such a machine. 64k of memory, and yet code compiles to real executables "instantly".

May I interest you in a game of Snake for that.

I have a similar copy of a snake game already, and a tetris clone, but seeing more code is always fun - thanks for sharing :)

You can see screenshots of some of the versions here: https://winworldpc.com/product/turbo-pascal/100

Looks about like what I recall: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38486499

I’m one year younger than TP, and the blue screen in TFA is the one I remember when I first used it (1990 or so I guess), so that must have been a later version.

It looked like that until version 4 where they switched to the more common interface with windows, menus and whatnot.
