Gradient skies and dithered poly choppers. Released late in the Amiga's life in 1995: Bitfusion and Empire Interactive's arcade flight sim Coala. These kind of polygon graphics always feel quite familiar for flight sims as they were the only kind I saw until the PlayStation.

I remember enjoying Chase the Express (aka Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn) when it was new, it's a tank-control survival-action game set on a train, and is very much in that Time Crisis "Japanese devs make a Western action movie" style.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I can see the point of its slow pace, it's a world you need to bathe in, but I got frustrated with how it felt the game was fighting me when I wanted to do something. Also the M&K controls are a bit jank.

JP Trespasser is fascinating, in places showing ideas that wouldn't be mature until stuff like Half-Life 2. As @outsidexbox.bsky.social put it, "they were so preoccupied with whether they should, they didn't stop to think if they could". If they had any guts the new JP game would be "Trespasser 2"

I was trying a few old drives to see if any were more suitable for video capture than what I'm using, and didn't like how eerily quiet my machine was at boot without an optical drive clicking into self-test.

The System32 was the last of the great super-scalers before 2D went extinct, how ironic one of its more spectacular games is about dinosaurs (Jurassic Park).

I am very much in search of work right now if anyone’s looking for a freelance WordPress developer. I build custom themes, bespoke for each project I work on. I don't personally do design/ branding but I do know some designers if you need that too.

If you're not familiar with the Sega ST-V, I wrote a blog post about it a few years back: nicole.express/2021/segason... Long story short, it's an arcade system based on Saturn hardware that takes interchangeable cartridges rather than CDs.

Okay, time for another game I never beat ... and I just learned it was a copy-protection system I didn't understand. Exile, an early Amiga game as it was first made for the BBC and Acorn Electron, then ported to the C64, Amiga, and ST. This pixel art splash screen goes *way* harder than it needs to.

There's another old game off the shame-pile
A screenshot from the game Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis on the Amiga. It shows victory at the end of the Atreides campaign, where the Mentat (your advisor) says "I go now to relay the news of your most glorious victory, and deliver your terms to the Emperor". Next to him is a post-battle image of troopers surrendering to your forces.

Most people know the PS1 boot sound, but I'm not sure as many know that the sound is not actually pre-recorded but just 3 simple samples being mixed, playback at different speeds and generated at runtime to produced the final output.

This is a short breakdown of the original Sony Playstation's iconic startup sound. There is a quick addendum to this video showing the audio samples being played in a software synthesizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7gV6RdIeUQ The original composition and sound samples were created by Takaf

Coala was one of the games from when the Amiga was much in decline, but the intro was quite a vibe. What can I say I'm a sucker for a dithered flat-shade.

Kaizo-hard Amiga game Alien Breed Tower Assault has these characters on the edge of the data pad to (presumably) give it some Blade Runner future flavour. I wonder where "Spring blessing material" came from.

When I was a kid I thought that arcades were the coolest, made with the most exotic bespoke hardware, as I dive into their workings though it keeps turning out like...
An instance of the Spongebob meme "Daring today, aren't we?"
Customer: I'll have a... Motorola 68000, with a Yamaha FM chip
Squidward: How original
Customer: Throw in a Z80 too
Squidward: Daring today, aren't we

After seeing some CGA art on Mastodon I've nerdsniped myself. What was the last game to support a CGA mode? I realise that "last" and "game" are going to do some lifting there, so feel free to show your working.
