Haha, happy to share, wish I had a better photo of it! Someone from the Jazz2online forums actually grabbed it AFAIR.

I found this on e-Bay when looking for a boxed copy about 15-16 years ago. Someone on the JJ2 forums wrote " Yipee ki Yay" and I have never been able to stop laughing.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.

The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

A little backstory: these CDs contain artwork and press releases that game publishers sent to GamePro magazine. These are some of the only surviving copies of the original assets used by magazines!

I remember getting a copy of that leaked Super Star Wars port, likely from Home of the Underdogs back in the day, having no idea that it was an SNES game originally. Lollypop is also fantastic, maybe I should give it another go sometime, never managed to beat it.

now, if you're playing, Star Fox 64, on a telephone...you will NEVER, in a TRILLION years, experience the game. You'll THINK you did, but you''ll be CHEATED, without the Rumble Pak. It's such a sadness, that you think you saved the Lylat system, on a FUCKING telephone. Get real.

been thinking a bit about people doing all sorts of upscaling on old games with prerendered backgrounds and it hit me that it would be kinda fun to use the extra resolution to make them look worse in interesting ways instead, like trying to make the it look like a scanned 90s game mag screenshot

Double Switch is next in my Saturn series. After getting an obscene amount of material, this spiraled into a 7+ hour video about the history of Digital Pictures, its canceled projects, and why it shut down. Digging for Isix early release for Patreons/Ko-fi by April 30th, public premiere on May 9th.

I recognized the "Its the beginning of a new and excitingly different story!" sample from the Chrono Trigger arrangement album of all things, but never assumed it was actually a relatively common sample in 90s house music so I never bothered to look up that its from the 40s Superman radio show.

Yeah it really depends. You can find some theoretical limits here which you might find of interest: retro.swarm.cz/s3-virge-325... I still think you could do some decent gaming in early games. Problem is most titles went from 320x200 to SVGA, when 400x300 and 512x384 were perfectly fine substitutes.

Compatibility issues might be why there are noticeable seams on the road. The wonders of playing on PC at the time! As a side note, 3dfx cards not working with DOS games might be a case of the exe not detecting the glide2x.ovl library. Try copying it into the folder from the driver package.

Great video! Note that Virge DX was released in early 97 AFAIR and was faster, up to 50% than the original! It's also a bit less compatible with the S3D versions. Fairly certain there was a tool that helps with those cases. I concur though that if expectations were kept in check, it could be useful.

Some of the notes here look like puzzle solutions to the Neverhood, but some of it just looks like Myst or Riven-like games such as Rhea and Schizm.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
