Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

A fun thing to do is to ask people what is "Flohwalzer" called in their language. Because you get stuff like "Flea waltz", "I stepped on a cat", and "meatballs jumping over a fence". 😄🎶

Somehow missed that "Vangers" got a big official update during the summer. 60 fps support has been merged into the main branch, but also a bunch of mission hiccups that were in the game since 1998 have been fixed as well! store.steampowered.com/news/app/264...

Happy October Eve! For Hallozeen this year, I made a 16-page walkthrough for a 36 year-old shareware classic. Primarily out of trash. I have no idea who the target audience is for this, besides me, but here you go! emmfoolery.itch.io/a-hallozeen-... #dosgaming #retrogaming

The opening game screen of Hugo's House of Horrors, by David P. Gray, for MS-DOS. A game released like, two weeks before I was born. Hugo's outside a haunted house! Spooky.

A new tactical combat game for #msdos has been released! #StarCadre Team Command puts you in charge of a squad of elite operatives in the far future, conducting special missions on behalf of an interstellar civilisation. Get it from cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-t... #ibmpc #cga

A collage of screenshots of Star Cadre: Team Command against a background image. The background images shows the K-53 modified fighter craft in the foreground, that takes the away team on their missions, on a landing pad beside its hangar, with planting around, a city scape behind, mountains in the far distance. The screenshots are all in 4-colour CGA. They include: the title screen which is a 4-colour version of the background image, a mission taking place in an industrial complex, and the personnel screen where a new recruit is being added to the team.

With the A.I. companies buying up all of the computer storage these days, I'd like to offer up the solution we used in the 1980's to double our storage for free. You are welcome. #old

There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.

Oof. Yeah. Interesting looking game that just went flying off my wishlist at the speed of sound. And no, it's not for AI stuff. That avenue of investigation went nowhere.

StrataVision was the 3D modeling and rendering package used to produce graphics of the original Myst. They are so proud of this that even right now if you get the latest version of it ("Strata Design 3D SE", free on Steam,) it comes with a bunch of Myst assets in its library:

I have no intention of buying it, but somewhat surprised to see that the Hellraiser game is actually an immersive sim. Everything else about it is kind of cringe.

Watching the new trailer for "You Can See Everything" and... I think they should stick to calling it the official name, "RogerEbert.com".

A frame from the trailer for "You Can See Everything" (2016) with a quote "Like no other film I've ever experienced" attributed to "Roger Ebert"

I am still so baffled by that official "Manic Miner" remake. Like, it isn't 1983 anymore. Anyone can knock out a Manic Miner clone over a course of a weekend. At this point it literally feels like an exercise in putting as little effort as possible, because otherwise it doesn't make sense.

I was afraid to click on this thanks to the recent officially endorsed "Manic Miner" remake debacle, but thankfully the materials in this set turned out to be completely AI-free.
