I'm always shocked to re-learn that "Chex Quest" (1996) had a budget of a half a million dollars, but then I remember that it had EPIC CUTSCENES:

This season's hit
"A Spectre is Haunting"

(From the 1995 Russian-Ukrainian tv show "Cabaret «Maski Show»".)

Maybe I'm only a casual enthusiast of tracker music, but I didn't know that you could have *that* much control over the timeline in a traditional MOD format. My mind is very much blown.

Check out this crazy tracker shit! 😯 🔊🎵

It's nice to have options! Music from the classic action-puzzle game Supaplex (1991) on an AdLib, Roland MT-32, and PC Speaker. 💾🔊🎵

Microsoft sent me an email telling me to throw my computer in the trash. 🤷

Cheat codes for "The Shadow of Death" expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Can you tell this game came out early in the year 2000?

RIP Monolith Productions.

@industrial_cream If you're on modern Windows, grab the game here:

Then use dgVoodoo to run it: https://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/

It is such a simple idea, and it works totally as intended - something as simple and accessible as Snake instantly becomes too complicated to quickly master. 😅

And here's Kinetic Worm Dimension in action. It's more difficult than it appears to be.

I know Viktor Antonov was known for many things, but for me the biggest impact of his work was seeing the very distinct Eastern European environments of Half-Life 2 for the first time. At the time you just didn't see these kinds of things depicted realistically in major games. And with me being a fresh immigrant at the time, it felt special.

Oh MIDI, Lord, trouble so hard

Don't nobody know my MIDI but God
