Basically solely by Dan Aykroyd is a funny way to describe a movie he didn't write or direct. Aykroyd is co-founder of Ghost Corps, and was about equally a involved in the 2016 one, the one the production company was originally set up for.

Interplay and Xatrix's attempt to capitalize on the genre created by Deer Hunter.
Improvements on original game:
- 3D maps (Build engine)
- 2 types of ammo for each of 5 weapons
- Ducks, turkeys, & boars in addition to deer
- "Humor"
Tue Jan 11 21:54:38 +0000 2022Replying to @dosnostalgic
The result is mostly dull and annoying, as the maps are largely just flat open spaces, and the overly cautious animals have the ability to run beyond the bounds, only to spawn somewhere else later. "Humor" courtesy Leonard from Redneck Rampage is toned down, and just not funny.

Yeah, it's supposed to alert nearby enemies, but idk if it actually does. And keeping both your alcohol and gut in the green allegedly increases the accuracy of your weapons, but I honestly couldn't tell because the game's damage system is so incredibly random.

It's a big box retail product that debuted in Q3 of 1996, so no. If it was bundled with stuff it wouldn't have been until later, and wouldn't affect the 1996 numbers.

I think in case of Wordle (2021) its the gameplay+name that counts, and I think the fact that it is a non-commercial product adds a layer as well. William Soleau's Wordle has very little in common with Josh Wardle's Worlde. Or Steven Cravotta's Wordle (2016), for that matter.

Update on retail sales of Quake:
A PC Data chart that provides no units, but places Quake on #6 most sold in November and December of 1996.
PC Data reported in 97 that Quake sold 373,000 during "its first 12 months", while a different report shows 273,936 units sold for all of 97
Wed Jan 12 19:05:24 +0000 2022Replying to @dosnostalgic
So yeah, needless to say these numbers wouldn't get Quake on the top 10 retail sales of 1996. Or 1997 for that matter. However, the shareware release apparently sold 393,575 units in 1996 alone. Don't know how many of those were then registered or qcracked though. 🤷♂️

"Looks like it's abandonware at this point" implies that there's some kind of an agreed definition for it with a time frame of some kind, which there isn't. How long before something becomes "abandonware"? Does the rights holder have to not exist anymore or no? Who decides it?

At the same time I felt that it was a retread for Verhoeven. If you've seen his non-Hollywood films, you'll recognize many familiar elements. It also establishes very early what reading of the story it's gonna give you, and it doesn't play with an alternate possibility enough.

BuildGDX is pretty good, but its renderer isn't quite accurate to the DOS one, I think. It's also not maintained often anymore. But there's also nBlood which at this point is more accurate, I think. Maybe it's the other way around, but I don't think so. 🤔

I never had access to any original floppies because I lived in Russia, so my approach has always been to use a compression program capable of breaking up archives in chunks (LHA, ARJ, RAR at the time) and just copy the resulting files using my favorite orthodox file manager.
