The intro from "Another World" (1991) still manages to impress even decades later, which is why I feel like it's nearly impossible to describe emotions one felt upon encountering it 35 years ago for the first time.

Today I was poking a little bit into the possibility of porting some Hercules games onto the Apricot. It is harder than I hoped it would be.

But I did an image quality check, and ouch it looks pretty good, which makes me sad that the Apricot didn't have decent games for it. This is a mock-up, I couldn't make the real game run, of course.

The screen has multiple frames because the monitor is 800x400, the image is 720x348, and the actual gameplay area is 448x192 (software scrolling on 4.77 MHz is slow, okay?!)

💾 NEW PODCAST 💾 In November we looked at Toonstruck, the FMV point & click adventure game from 1996 featuring none other than Christopher Lloyd (that's "Doc Brown" from Back to the Future!)

This was a huge production at the time, with apparently a budget of around 8 million dollar!

Sadly the game seems a bit forgotten now, but that's all the more reason for us to take a look at it.

We've been using Jitsi for conference calls with DOS Game Club for many years now.

It's simple, it's free, you don't need to sign up, it works right from the browser (although there is an app if you want that). Your call duration isn't limited. It just works.

Truly difficult to understand why people keep using Zoom or Teams or whatever.

mostly i browse what's coming out on steam each week cause every once in a while i run into something like this https://store.steampowered.com/app/3269810/KNOCKOFF and i'm like what the fuck

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

This is Quake running on CGA. Normally Quake requires VGA (320x200 256 colours), but WinQuake can actually run fine on any card supported by Windows 95.

Now, CGA doesn't support Windows 95. But turns out with a little manual hex editing, it can start with a CGA driver from Windows 3.0 (I believe no one succeeded in doing this before). And with Windows 95 kind of sort of running on CGA, @gloriouscow recommended to try if Quake would run. It does, and it is almost playable. Definitely more playable than Doom8088 on MDA.
