But I'd rather also have something to look forward too. Last time it was multiplayer. And unfortunately that never quite worked.

I didn't see this tweet until just now. :O

 Sun Sep 04 00:23:13 +0000 2016

So it appears Gabe Newell *wasn't* THE person porting Doom to WinG, but a project manager. To be fair, that's what he was at MS.

 Sun Sep 04 00:25:37 +0000 2016

Newell shipped over 30 products over his career at MS.

 Sun Sep 04 00:28:45 +0000 2016

WinG was pretty terrible. I had a book on it back in the day.

 Sun Sep 04 00:34:41 +0000 2016

According to Alex St John's blog, he was involved with with WinDOOM, although not directly, but as a project manager.

 Sun Sep 04 00:35:38 +0000 2016

But I will protest against KillGDI thing being "not really a port". Still had to port everything else.

 Sun Sep 04 00:39:41 +0000 2016

I guess so, but it had a whole DirectX behind it.

 Sun Sep 04 00:43:37 +0000 2016

There's like a handful of 3D games on Win3.x, but quite a few on Win95

 Sun Sep 04 00:44:28 +0000 2016

Yeah, not really. Here's a page from St John's taking fun seriously, dated 9/20/95. Way before Doom 95.

 Sun Sep 04 00:53:20 +0000 2016

The list is pretty long and as you can see has "Y" for many games in the SDK column

 Sun Sep 04 00:55:21 +0000 2016

Huh? This is month after Win95 launch...

 Sun Sep 04 00:57:03 +0000 2016

Yeah, most of them. BUT here's my Ecco CD. Look at the dates and folders.

Dug out Sierra's Thexder (also a 95 release). There it is:

 Sun Sep 04 01:18:05 +0000 2016

So now I'm sure there are others. So while DOOM might have been their primary concern, I'd say DirectX wasnt made 4 it exclusively

 Sun Sep 04 01:18:50 +0000 2016

I didn't until just now. :) I just have a habit of second guessing everything from years of dealing with videogame history.

If you know these maps by heart, these things stand out so much

 Thu Sep 08 02:22:14 +0000 2016

See, like this building demolition switch - it's right next to the building

 Thu Sep 08 02:23:07 +0000 2016

I'd show you more Duke 3D beta stuff, but remapping the controls disables weapon switching for some reason. I'm getting my ass kicked.

 Thu Sep 08 02:44:00 +0000 2016

The enemies are easier to kill in this, but they deal more damage.

 Thu Sep 08 02:44:42 +0000 2016

Ok, figured out which keys to use to not mess with the games pre-assigned buttons, and also got cheat codes by poking in the exe.

 Thu Sep 08 03:15:58 +0000 2016

Death Row turned out to be nearly identical to the final version, with the exception of this first locked door

 Thu Sep 08 03:16:42 +0000 2016

I never said it was.

 Thu Sep 08 03:17:03 +0000 2016

Couple more differences, scuba gear graphic, and the final UFO area is totally different

 Thu Sep 08 04:05:09 +0000 2016

I guess this is where the episode's boss was supposed to make his entrance, but it never happens. Very metal though

 Thu Sep 08 04:13:08 +0000 2016

Yep. Everything until that point is nearly identical, but the final encounter area is totally different.

 Thu Sep 08 04:16:39 +0000 2016

But yeah, overall lots & LOTS of tiny differences in everything, nut just maps. So much polish happened in between this & the shareware.

 Thu Sep 08 04:19:15 +0000 2016

.@NilkadNaquada Idk. Looks like Ozzy is about to come out and perform. A bit too much if you ask me.

 Thu Sep 08 04:20:39 +0000 2016

Believe it or not, I once had too much ice cream. It happened.

 Thu Sep 08 04:24:37 +0000 2016

Some stuff is there, other stuff isn't. The Doomguy and ROTT monk are both present, but no captured women.

Gonna try out a beta of Shadow Warrior really quick. This one is from over a month before shareware

 Thu Sep 08 18:02:09 +0000 2016

Right off the bat it's really glitchy. Locks up if you try to slice anyone with a sword

 Thu Sep 08 18:03:52 +0000 2016

Ok, can't even finish the 1st level because of the glitches, but it has some areas that are different from the final

 Thu Sep 08 18:11:32 +0000 2016

It's a trick. Both Shadow Warrior support fake stacked sectors in Build. Both do it in their own way.

 Thu Sep 08 18:17:02 +0000 2016

Not like this tough. Here you can see and interact through them.

 Thu Sep 08 18:20:28 +0000 2016

Found in Shadow Warrior beta's resources: sprites for this unused enemy, seen in early promo screenshots:

 Thu Sep 08 18:27:56 +0000 2016

Also found these two scanned in photos of topless women, and a dancing girl from Duke Nukem 3D's 4th episode

 Thu Sep 08 18:30:18 +0000 2016

Also this one sprite of an unused boss (I guess), and a warning screen

 Thu Sep 08 18:32:57 +0000 2016

Also this screen from when Shadow Warrior was still an Apogee game (pre-3D Realms brand). Editor UI is a part of it

 Thu Sep 08 18:34:56 +0000 2016

There are so many promo Shadow Warrior screenshots out there. I know I've posted a bunch in the past, but still

 Thu Sep 08 18:41:05 +0000 2016

And more:

Only existing shot of Shadow Warrior alpha that Interceptor/3D Realms wanted to release to public, until they didn't

 Thu Sep 08 18:50:25 +0000 2016

From what I understand, interceptor had to sell their 3D Realms assets, while retaining the name. So none of this is up to them anymore.

 Thu Sep 08 18:51:37 +0000 2016

Shadow Warrior has some serious issues for a game that's considered one of the best 90s shooters. I don't really enjoy it.

You want to bumpify old textures? Fine. But don't waste your time if all the new materials are gonna look like this:

 Fri Sep 09 01:19:10 +0000 2016

I hear some of the WarCraft Adventures downloads are being removed already. As expected. I hope you all grabbed them.

 Sat Sep 10 18:51:49 +0000 2016

What *would* have been great if Blizzard just released everything as is. With notes & maybe a little bit of history, and such.

 Sat Sep 10 18:52:26 +0000 2016

But, you know, not gonna happen. It's not worth the effort to do so, and gets them no money. *Potential* press/reaction isn't good enough.

 Sat Sep 10 18:53:30 +0000 2016

We have a rather legendary example of a videogame vaporware surface. So that's quite something. A notable day of sorts.

 Sat Sep 10 18:54:56 +0000 2016

Yes, everyone got paid for making it and such, but the work itself would have never been seen by others. That's a shame.

 Sat Sep 10 18:55:45 +0000 2016

And before you say "But YouTube", that wouldn't have happened if someone else didn't get a hold of it, just as illegally.

 Sat Sep 10 18:57:50 +0000 2016

They could have, but they won't. Corporate thing is to guard its property, and not set any kind of precedent for policy change

A near complete versions, and an earlier beta.

 Sat Sep 10 19:13:16 +0000 2016

More than NINETY percent of American films made before 1929 are lost. Video game industry is making the same mistakes.

 Sat Sep 10 19:16:22 +0000 2016

I guess I might as well tag onto this: most of the games that *have* been preserved, have some kind of an illegal activity to thank for it.

 Sat Sep 10 19:20:46 +0000 2016

Preservation is always a side effect of software piracy. Even if it's not intentional.

 Sat Sep 10 19:25:30 +0000 2016

Surge update: it's kind of meh. I was hoping it was gonna taste like Full Throttle minus all the caffeine & other shit.

It's not unused. After you save the game & restart, main menu becomes available. You can watch it from there

 Sat Sep 10 20:37:25 +0000 2016

My bets are with this one. I think it's much better, not to mention looks a lot more final.

 Sat Sep 10 20:45:40 +0000 2016

Reading the docs and revision documents might answer that question

 Sat Sep 10 20:46:09 +0000 2016

Most of them are in Russian, yes. Scripting language documentation and some kind of a financial report are in English

 Sat Sep 10 20:50:17 +0000 2016

It looks like you're right. All the design docs (all marked as v1.0) describe that version of the intro, and there are some...

 Sat Sep 10 21:00:48 +0000 2016

... notes about Davidson & Associates being displeased with the animation style. So yeah, an alternate version was in works.

 Sat Sep 10 21:01:42 +0000 2016

I really don't like that intro. I like how the dude is more of a dick in the early one.

 Sat Sep 10 21:02:51 +0000 2016

Could be. The animation is a not as wobbly as Animation Magic's.

 Sat Sep 10 21:08:07 +0000 2016

The new style is better, but it's just bad as a piece of animation. Even visual composition. AMI's is great in that respect.

It honestly doesn't look like Blizzard was involved that much, the only notes that are being discussed came down from

Davidson & Associates.

 Sun Sep 11 11:40:23 +0000 2016

Well, yeah, the outline is like 130 pages long. It's a design bible, with every puzzle & every line of dialogue & stuff

Nope. Just going by what I looked through in the archive.

 Sun Sep 11 11:47:56 +0000 2016

Yeah, it's all there. None of this is Animation Magic's fault. Maybe it became more apparent when combined with cartoon gfx.

For 1998 probably a little too late, but who knows, really.

What could have been: https://x.com/Grummz/status/774956544626569216

 Sun Sep 11 13:05:11 +0000 2016

WarCraft Adventures sure does look like a later Animation Magic game. 2 shots + 2 shots from their kids games

 Sun Sep 11 13:10:30 +0000 2016

Playing it now a lot of things become apparent. It's not *bad* per say, but not exactly at a level it needed to be. Puzzles & writing r meh

 Sun Sep 11 13:11:41 +0000 2016

The near-complete version is from February of 98, and honesty, that's a little too late at that point.

 Sun Sep 11 13:12:20 +0000 2016

Now that we actually have something, it becomes very apparent why Blizzard decided to can it.

 Sun Sep 11 13:12:56 +0000 2016

Not saying it *ISN'T* a great historical artifact, it very much is, but a good game it is not.

Another World is preserved rather well. By Chahi and his people. It's not going away. Also reverse engineered.

 Sun Sep 11 13:14:47 +0000 2016

What is this in response to?

 Sun Sep 11 13:20:11 +0000 2016

A lot of things *could* be done. But they aren't. Companies aren't gonna just start adjusting in this area, because customers

 Sun Sep 11 13:24:32 +0000 2016

don't care. We went past that age in movies. Yes, even the movie preservation isn't perfect, but it's miles ahead of people

 Sun Sep 11 13:25:20 +0000 2016

just throwing stuff in the garbage. Trust me, movie crews aren't always collectors either.

 Sun Sep 11 13:25:49 +0000 2016

Part of the reason why sketches, production photos, makeup appliances are preserved in the movie industry is not because

 Sun Sep 11 13:27:39 +0000 2016

some gaffer cares about them, but because the company can SELL them to you, by putting a blurb about it on the blu-ray.

 Sun Sep 11 13:28:28 +0000 2016

We stopped looking at film as something disposable, but with games, that's where we're at. They have a "shelf life".

 Sun Sep 11 13:32:23 +0000 2016

It will take both the people, and the businesses behind the industry to change it. And the industry maturing as a whole.

 Sun Sep 11 13:33:17 +0000 2016

And we're not really anywhere near that. It'll take a while. All I was trying to say is that we should know better.

 Sun Sep 11 13:33:43 +0000 2016

Absolutely.

 Sun Sep 11 13:41:09 +0000 2016

Are you gonna pay for the museums? Why don't we just burn the paintings to make room for new ones?

 Sun Sep 11 13:48:51 +0000 2016
