Spiderweb Software and the Realmz folks collaborated to buy an art set, which became the Exile III graphics (and fans kinda just call them "the Realmz graphics"). They were then (somewhat) modified and backported to Exile I and II in ways that didn't always work great, which became the Exile I/II versions of those graphics.
- eridius 7y agoAh, interesting. I loved the heck out of the Exile games but I was unaware of details like this. I didn't even realize Exile I/II got graphics updates.

- eridius 7y agoThat first screenshot looks like what I remember. I guess I never saw the graphics update.
- eropple 7y agoI remember a lot more red in Exile I. The caves got more dull and gray in Exile II. Here's the OG splash screen: http://macintoshgarden.org/games/exile-escape-from-the-pit http://macintoshgarden.org/games/exile-escape-from-the-pit And here's the update: http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/screenshots/exile.jpg http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/s...
- duskwuff 7y agoInteresting -- I actually see three different versions of the splash screen at that first link! (One with red text on a gray background and 1.0 graphics, one with blue text on a gray background and 1.0 graphics, and one with gray text on a gray background and 2.0 graphics.) There's also two different 3D-rendered splash screens.
