PROJECT DESCRIPTION
LEGO, technology and nostalgia – no fake shell.
BrickDOS is a fully functional retro PC in the style of the 1990s. The outer case is based on an existing LEGO model by Pantasy. Modern hardware inside the monitor acts as the invisible technical foundation.
The system boots directly into a deliberately retro user interface. From there, classic DOS games can be launched.

From power-on to gameplay: BrickDOS boots directly into its own retro interface. From the splash screen and simulated boot process to the ASCII menus and launching different games, the video shows the complete experience. Everything runs on real hardware inside the LEGO case.
