Funny. System Shock isn't even one of my favorite DOS games. My first proper playthrough happened in 2015. Yet this remake demo hit all the right notes for me. I am very excited to play through the full game.

Alien's director's cut IS shorter, because it shortens Ripley's running around a lot, despite all the new material. I've seen both cuts of Dark City.

Quake 2 is a lot more uniformed in color than Quake, which a lot of people called "brown", but it's actually largely blue. If you play Quake 2 in software it is extremely noticeable. It is hardware accelerated lighting that adds color to Q2, often in garish ways.

It's a separate entity entirely. When Windows finishes loading what you see as DOS is not actually DOS, but rather Windows itself. Which is why some commands, functionality, and compatibility are different. When rebooting to DOS mode, it's actually pure DOS.

Yeah, that's fair. Come to think of it, a whole bunch of French games have tracker-like music on title screens. Geisha and Fascination both do that if they don't detect an AdLib.

To this day you can't buy and watch this movie as intended, in 3D in the US. Which is a shame, because Jeunet really pulled off some beautiful 3D shots in it.

There are so many effect shots in the movie, it's crazy. They are painting out modern looking buildings, replacing ads with art, repainting existing objects they couldn't actually touch, adding elements like steam for Amelie's freshly cooked pasta, etc. Incredible amount of work.

Windows 3.1 was impossible to run without MS-DOS, but it itself has everything an OS needs to have. Its own memory manager, executable format, driver structure, multitasking, virtualization, etc. It does still rely on lots of DOS functions for backwards compatibility.

Here's Win 3.11 running in 640x480 256 color SVGA protected mode while having two real mode DOS games open in separate windows. One in 640x350 EGA, one in 320x200 VGA. Just a gui shell it is not.
Sat Mar 27 13:03:01 +0000 2021Replying to @EepJeep and @rikupone
The answer is "yes, it is both", but it is most certainly not "just" an MS-DOS program. These days a Linux bootloaders are more complicated than entire DOS ever was, so you can think of it that way, if you *really* need some kind of a distinction for some reason.

The game also offers an SVGA option, but it makes everything too small. #DOSGaming

Ok, so now I'm beginning to understand why the King is such a prick, sort of, but why are the Katamari fans from Earth also giving the Price shit?

No, but there are remakes of Supaplex popping up pretty often. I'm sure the account that tweets about a web-based remake will find this tweet soon enough.

They don't want original content. They're gonna spend Avatar-type money for essentially direct-to-video proven to succeed formula repeats. This isn't any better than your regular Hollywood studio.
