The VGA palette in TED v1.01 is the same as in Dangerous Dave. bsky.app/profile/fren...

Frenkel @frenkel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

In the same PCKF thread K1n9_Duk3 released the reconstructed TED v1.01 source code. It shares a lot of code with Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement and Catacomb II.

K1n9_Duk3 has recreated the source code of Commander Keen 1-3, Commander Keen 4-6 and BioMenace in such a way that 100% identical executables can be compiled. And now Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement can be added to that list.

36 years ago, John Carmack and Tom Hall created Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement, the tech demo that started id Software. To celebrate this event, let's discuss the reconstructed source code. pckf.com/viewtopic.ph...

It's been a while since I watched 3 movies in 1 day. Today I watched: Bastille Day (2016) 👍 Der blaue Engel (1930) 👍 Kreator - Hate & Hope (2025) 🤘

I was just looking for an excuse to say in a weird way that millions of people were exposed to silent movies thanks to Minions & Monsters. 😉

I don't know. I've only seen 4 Minion movies. I'm not a Minion expert.

The Sprinkler Sprinkled (1895) would be much funnier if it had Minions & Monsters in it.

Dik Trom en het circus is een kinderfilm van Henk van der Linden uit 1960. Bassie en Adriaan doen hun komisch acrobatennummer en de act met de stoelen als The Crocksons. En er zit een scène in van 3,5 minuut waarin Dik Trom zijn vrienden dwingt om verkleed als indiaan een pijp te roken. 😲

The source code of the game before it (Catacomb II) and the game that came after it (Commander Keen 1) are available. How hard can it be to combine the two to recreate the source code of Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement, the tech demo that started id Software?

Years ago I noticed the similarity between the palettes of Dangerous Dave and Wolfenstein 3D. But only recently I read Adrian Carmack took the palette of DeluxePaint II for Wolfenstein 3D. doomwiki.org/wiki/PLAYPAL

The PLAYPAL lump is a set of color palettes the Doom engine uses to set the main colors for all graphics, including full color fades and tinting effects. Since the Doom engine can only display a maxim...

The palette of DeluxePaint II is very similar to the palette of Dangerous Dave and Wolfenstein 3D. #DOSGaming

I just got a pull request from sabino, the same guy who did DoomGeo. He managed to increase the resolution from 38x28 to 76x56 🤯 When you've played Doom for a long time at 38x28, 76x56 looks very detailed 😄

Snub Pollard is much easier to recognize when he's wearing a mustache. 😀 One-Eyed Jacks is in the public domain. Someone should create a version in which Snub Pollard does have a mustache. 😄

Today I watched One-Eyed Jacks, a western from 1961 starring and directed by Marlon Brando. "Wait, is that Snub Pollard?" I had to pause the movie to check on IMDb to confirm my suspicion.
