4U - Public Domain

Another German series, but one that didn’t originate from a magazine. Other than that there is not much known about 4U. Due to the age of the programs, it must’ve been released some time in the 90’s. Distinctive features of the 4U series is a comparatively large number of data disks with MOD files or clipart and demo versions of commercial programs.
