Lockshin's version is, I think, pretty clearly inspired by Petrovic's film. But it manages to still stick to a lot of the source despite reframing it. And Lockshin had to leave Russia as well.

All of that is true, but I was there, & those tools were not very accessible. And, again, 3rd party. I never managed to make a decent Doom map, for example. Quake editors were a total mess in the very beginning too. Unreal was out of the box ready to go. I think that's the point.

Fri Apr 05 23:13:56 +0000 2024I wish people would stop passing off this 35mm print scan of The Matrix as some kind of reference material. Just look at it. Very clearly it's either weirdly faded, OR something went wrong with the scan. All the green is clearly missing. The pods are orange! The Oracle is yellow.

Bill Pope's 4K remaster finally got rid of the mid 2000s ultra green recoloring they did, and looks a lot closer to what it originally looked like projected than this scan, I promise you.

All of the ports with simplified maps come from the Jaguar version, and most retain all the cuts from that. PlayStation port compensates by actually adding a few features of its own, and merging parts of Ultimate Doom & Doom 2 together, bringing the total amount of maps to 59.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. No matter how small or less defined televisions of the past were, if the effect was just not convincing enough visually, even on a tv of the day it still looked bad.

Officially, the 1st version of Tetris happened in 1984, but in reality it probably didn't happen till 85. Gorby didn't sell anything. The rights belonged to the state company ELORG, which licensed them to a British company Andromeda Software, and a very Japanese company Nintendo.

System Shock Remake is really good, if you're into that sort of dungeon crawling. If you're on the fence, I recommend it. It's on sale for $17.99 right now. It is *exactly* as advertised. Very much a 30 year old game wrapped in a modern presentation.

Doom doesn't use a math co-processor as all the math in it is purely integer based.

That's how every file format on PC works. It's all software. Anyone can do it. First you figure out how to store the data you need in a file, then you write a program that takes that file, reads the data, and passes it to a device.

It's the PC speaker bit. Windows 9x did not allow programs to bitbang devices. Or, I guess I should say, it prevented them from doing it properly. Usually it didn't result in a crash though, but a program running *very* slowly while emitting a very high pitched noise.
