I quite liked it too. Many people also seemed to dislike the Disney-esque animation style, but I think that suited the game very nicely.

You might be surprised to find how popular they still are, even if they don't get much love from the large game development studios. There are many smaller companies or groups (Wadjet Eye, Phoenix, King Art, Infamous Adventures) who ma

Things like this are not unique to CF and actually originate from outside their network. It does happen every once in a while, but I have far more confidence in CF's ability to resolve it than my own. They have the clout in the industr

I hadn't heard the Deskstar 50/50 term... most people I knew referred to them as either Deathstar or Deadstar.

If you're just looking to play the games, they are in the internet archive's software library in many versions. At the very least the DOS version and Amiga version, probably others too, are playable through the online emulators.

This was done my some MPEG decoder cards, like the Sigma Designs RealMagic. The Voodoo didn't process the input VGA signal itself in any way. Image quality suffered slightly simply because the signal had to travel further and through a

The Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP? I had one of those (after a Voodoo 1 and a Voodoo Banshee) and it was a huge disappointment to me. The whole thing seemed terribly unstable. Heat issues? driver bugs? hardware conflicts? I could never figure it out.

It is fun. I actually used (and still use) the "Standard Galactic Alphabet" from the Commander Keen games every once in a while, which is a little easier to read and write, yet almost as baffling to non-insiders :)

Got hit with several ContentID claims on videos that I posted in 2013 with the work I was supposedly infringing on being created in 2014. My appeal was denied. Moronic algorithms.

I would love this, though it's not really worth it... Shipping costs are prohibitive, usually costing more than whatever I'm trying to buy. Even US eBay is no longer worth it. When I'm buying something worth $60 and have to p

Ehm, the Wikipedia article you link to for Tuberculosis directly contradicts your statement. Some quotes from that very page: "Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

The 1980s with its CGA, EGA and early VGA displays must be from before your time then? I definitely played games looking like that. I prefer not to use such filters, but some people might be nostalgic for it. One interesting application mig

Firefox and Chrome seem render it flawlessly and Edge's performance isn't half bad either, but I am honestly surprised at how well it works even in IE11.

Spelling correction rather than spell checking and suggestions really bugs me. As soon as you have a somewhat international audience (and given that this is the internet - you probably do) or have any non-English content, automatic correcti

I doubt it will be too long before 32-bit versions of Windows are no longer produced or supported. The 64-bit versions do not run 16-bit software. When that time inevitably comes, the Windows 1.0 software will also stop working in native Wi

I'll admit this is offtopic, but why on earth do they insist on putting an unrelated video on autoplay at the top of the page? I'm there to read the article and just when I've read the first few sentences, I get distracted by

I get the feeling that what you mention is the precise realisation that Atkinson had when he figured out a way to draw them quickly. It's quite possible that he was initially thinking of ways to describe rounded rects using a single eq

I don't even use Krita, but donated €15 anyway, just because I know what it's like to deal with the utter shitstains at the VAT department of the Dutch tax service.
