It was the second episode of the famous Soviet TV adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in 1979, so most Russian audiences are familiar with it

 Mon Feb 01 21:07:48 +0000 2021

The episode is available on YouTube with English subtitles (not sourced from Conan Doyle, sadly) and I would recommend the entire series to any Sherlock Holmes fan who hasn't seen it:
https://youtu.be/WXwTPIhEs08

 Mon Feb 01 21:11:55 +0000 2021

Soviet series is generally regarded as one of the most accurate adaptations, and Vasily Livanov was made an Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire for his portrayal of Holmes. Considering that these are *TV* adaptations in the first place, doubly impressive.

 Mon Feb 01 21:18:40 +0000 2021

I also must point out that they don't really actually adapt the second part, it's just handcuffed Hope retelling a shorter version of it as a long monologue.

Savage Warriors/Warriors (Atreid Concept/Mindscape, 1995) #DOSGameScreenADay

 Tue Feb 02 15:56:34 +0000 2021

Savage Warriors is a rather mediocre French-developed fighting game that has a few interesting features.
- a rather interesting 3D characters with very smooth animation for 1995
- optional weapons
- two perspectives for each arena
- *slightly* interactive arenas
- VGA or SVGA

 Tue Feb 02 15:59:30 +0000 2021

And what is this 3D technique? Those aren't polygons, from the look of it. Honestly this almost looks like it's voxels. But then the clipping doesn't support my voxel theory. 🤔Whatever it is, it is certainly unique.

 Tue Feb 02 16:03:06 +0000 2021

I really don't think the characters are polygonal.

Sprites aren't gonna give full volume seen here on legs and feet at 34 sec mark.

 Tue Feb 02 16:11:58 +0000 2021

How are 2D sprites making the legs and feet at half full rotation seen in this clip at 0:34?

 Tue Feb 02 16:12:47 +0000 2021

It would be a bit weird to do that to optimize voxel though, wouldn't it? Since you have to build the volume anyway, why would you bother calculating which limb is in front of another first?

 Tue Feb 02 16:14:32 +0000 2021

Video compression isn't doing this game any favors, but the resolution on the characters is pretty low. The game also actually anti-aliases and blends the models with the background

 Tue Feb 02 16:19:27 +0000 2021

A lot of the graphics in the final are also just out in the open, but not actual textures. There's one file that looks like something that could be used as character's texture, but it's clearly missing stuff, so that's not it.

 Tue Feb 02 16:25:55 +0000 2021

One sprite per angle would give you that foot at 0:34 mark, not to mention memory/space consideration for a 1995 game that was released on floppy disks.

 Tue Feb 02 16:27:32 +0000 2021

There are rendering artifacts all over the place, you just can't see them in Twitter's compressed video. Idk if I'd buy that theory just on the basis of how smooth the foot is, and the fact that it's a floppy disk game from 1995.

Pretty much. The owners bought a bunch of rights themselves too. They were developing a new MegaRace game for a while.

 Tue Feb 02 20:59:36 +0000 2021

But you know what? It's okay! Critique is important to a medium. I don't have to agree/disagree with something for it to inspire someone to re-examine or re-evaluate a piece of work that leads to further developments in a medium.

 Thu Feb 04 14:00:12 +0000 2021

You can find like a 2 hour special that Siskel & Ebert did where they literally talk about how 80s horror movies "hate women", especially strong independent ones, and then list numerous examples. Words like "misogyny" and the like are all in there.

 Thu Feb 04 14:02:25 +0000 2021

And yet nobody says that Siskel & Evert were killing movies, even though I sometimes (often) disagreed with what they said in that long video essay.

 Thu Feb 04 14:04:44 +0000 2021

3D Realms always sold it as satire, but it clearly isn't. Looking at their other works one gets to realize that 3D Realms didn't know what satire was. And when they doubled down you got... Shadow Warrior, which is most definitely a big yikes.

No, it was done to obtain a UK classification, although there was no original design. It's a game that evolved over time from being a Mad Max game, to Death Race game, so its own thing. Carmageddon II had zombies in the UK as well.

Their own 16 bit engine written in Turbo Pascal without the use of floating point.

 Fri Feb 19 14:12:47 +0000 2021

The game itself is a wild blend of Quake and Wolfenstein 3D. 3D meshes, and shootable enemy limbs, yet the maps are all on a flat 2D grid, making the levels boring. The balance is way off with deadly enemies who are super spongy. And there are in-engine mission briefings.

 Fri Feb 19 14:21:27 +0000 2021

The game is written in Turbo Pascal, and has that runtime error 200 when your CPU is too fast. It doesn't use floating point, and runs comfortably on a later 486. Has multiplayer as well, even TCP/IP with a patch. And it's Quake-inspired art direction deserved a better game.

 Fri Feb 19 14:26:09 +0000 2021

Weirdly, HROT is kind of everything Chasm isn't. Its levels are also on a grid with only right angles and 3D prefabs, but because it's not on a flat plane the environments allow for a lot more variation.

In more ways than just art direction too.

Pascal for Chasm, Delphi for HROT.

 Fri Feb 19 15:21:52 +0000 2021

A lot of it is trickery. For example, it's a fixed perspective view. Looking up/down is done the same way it is done in any 2.5D shooter - just shifts the horizon point and pans up or down. Everything gets pretty distorted at extreme angles, so it limits how far you can look.

 Fri Feb 19 17:06:58 +0000 2021

 Sun Feb 21 14:19:54 +0000 2021

So I read up on this, and as expected this is possible to the similarity between the Spectrum's Z80 processor, and Game Boy's CPU. In fact as far as CPU goes only 9 instructions had to be implemented via emulation, everything else is executed directly. https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1363194611435470849

 Sun Feb 21 14:32:41 +0000 2021

The rest of the resources are spent emulating graphics and sound to the limited extent that Tetris is using them. Keep in mind that the Spectrum's CPU runs slower than that of the Game Boy. 3.5 Mhz vs 4.19 Mhz.

 Sun Feb 21 14:36:08 +0000 2021

While Tetris runs somewhat comfortably (apart from the ending animation, which really shows off how limited the implementation is), the author says that a Dr. Mario implementation is unlikely.

This is literally from the interview where he was calling out Andrew Dice Clay, his material, and his audience.

Ok, pre-order includes an updated version of System Shock 2 as well, so it seems very reasonable. https://x.com/NightdiveStudio/status/1364955316488667143
