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.

@RealDaveRyder hmmm, has Ryder found himself on the set of The Flintstones (1994)

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?!)

πŸ’Ύ NEW PODCAST πŸ’Ύ 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.

@volpeon the best modern file search tool to my experience is the one included in FreeCommander which does not need any AI models to be both faster, more accurate, and more generally useful than the one in Windows. It even has "search within files" functionality, for not much hit on performance at all.

We don't need this new technology to make something infinitely better than we have. It's already right there.

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.

@literalgrill Alas I've only seen 3 or 4 episodes of the series myself, but I'll make a note to check this video later. πŸ‘

"Damien what do you want to do when you retire?" I want to hope I have enough time and money to buy those stupid rare records and rip them in FLAC and put that shit on soulseek
