I was fairly young when these games came out but could someone confirm with me that the first collage of game screenshots are mirrored backwards? They say [bottom to top, left] but it looks like they have it flipped. Like Wolfenstein 3D (left), Hovertank (right) and Quake (left), Doom (right).
- AdeptusAquinas 9y agoLooks right to me. Right to left, bottom to top is what I read their description as being. One thing wrong is that isn't Quake, but Quake 2 which was released in 1997
- nhatbui 9y agoOh that's my mistake. I thought by the description "left", it meant "yes, bottom to top but for each row, read left to right". Thanks!
- bananaboy 9y agoAlso the bottom image isn't Commander Keen, it's Dangerous Dave.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoThey do mention that order, kind of. I guess the problem is that right to left, top to bottom is a fairly maniacal order to put things in without a good reason.
- dpkonofa 9y agoThe entire article has far too many errors. Most of the info is correct but they make several mistakes including lots of typos.
- Nition 9y agoLots of mistakes in that caption. The games are: Top: Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001) Second row, from left: Quake II (1997), Doom (1993) Third row: Wolfenstein 3D (1992), Hovertank 3D (1991) Bottom: Dangerous Dave In the Haunted Mansion (1991)
- rasz 9y agoVery much this. It doesnt bode well for the credibility of an article posted on IEEE no less, when random 30 something person can spot 2 errors in 5 seconds after loading the page.
- Nition 9y agoI spotted: - Bad image order instructions - Quake should be Quake II - Hovertank should be Hovertank 3D - Commander Keen should be Dangerous Dave In the Haunted Mansion
