I've uncovered more amazing material for the abandoned 'Iron Man' game that I was working on at Genepool Software. During mid/late 2003 we created a demo of the game for PC, XBOX and PS2 before it was canned. I have just found the Game Design Document, Mission Design Document and much, much more!
A short video of the XBOX version of the abandoned 'Iron Man' game I worked on. Recovered from some of my old development DVDs.
Here are some pages from the Game Design Document for the abandoned 'Iron Man' game I worked on at Genepool Software in 2003. The demo we created was looking great, but sadly it was canned and we all lost our jobs. Life as a videogame developer is not always great!

I just realised that the start-up screen on System 7 can be changed. 😮
This is nice. 🙂
Curious; how do you determine the temperature?
Thanks. :)
But why? 🥸
Just for the record. DL4 was shorted internally. Because of this RL2 was fried by -109V and the TEA2037 (vertical deflection IC) wasn't getting any power. It's fixed.
Instead of turning a clock into a vintage Mac, I turned a vintage Mac into a clock!, I though it would be fun given its #MARCHintosh The program can be downloaded here: github.com/retrotheory/...
It supports US/EU month day order AM/PM, Invert display, 'grey' background and alarm function
Please host it on AmendHub too. ☺️ @jcs.org
We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia
No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.

Whoops. This caught me off guard. 🥸
I discovered a really obnoxious band, like a hybrid of meat beat manifesto and early vnv nation with some Mr bungle mixed in. Exactly what I need right now. Please enjoy.

I don't remember the details, but it was a dead end.
Imagine sending E-Mails, while hanging around in IRC, using your Wi-Fi connected Macintosh Classic. BlueSCSI really is a marvel. 💙
