Props for mentioning Icculus. I always wanted to play with Black Shades at the time, but the display adapter just wouldn't cooperate: http://icculus.org/blacksh

Props for mentioning Icculus. I always wanted to play with Black Shades at the time, but the display adapter just wouldn't cooperate: http://icculus.org/blackshades/ http://icculus.org/blackshades/ (I also vaguely remember a single-file Quake 3 installer from the era which started as a shell script, but snipped itself off from the beginning when run and continued on as a binary archive. It was interesting to peek into it with a text viewer, only to see the readable part randomly devolve into garbage.)
