Fair, fair 😀

Thinking of something and I'm curious what YOU think! If you could remake a retro PC videogame, what would it be and how would you envision the remake? #gaming #pcgaming #retrogaming

Building art used early in development of Age of Empires 1, provided to me by lead artist Brad Crow (although much of this would have been drawn by David Deen). These were later replaced by 3D renders that got flattened to 2D and touched up by hand.

A collection of early pixel art buildings for Age of Empires, mostly dating back to late 1995. Ensemble soon switched to flattened 3D renders for better efficiency (and a neater fit with the skills of their art team). There'll be more of these in the "deluxe hardcover" edition of my book.

This one always made me think the inspiration was these Scooby Doo ghosts share.google/erf6o9431JTb...

Thems the rules. Also, I didn't say "let's learn hot to win" 😆 I am literally interested in understanding the intricacies of its combat system.

Da

Usually good brand, especially at the time these were made in. Likely will need a bit of maintenance but those should produce a solid amount of decibels.

Panzer General is still severely under-remembered but its Fantasy-drenched coutnerpart even less so #gaming #pcgaming #retrogaming #strategy youtu.be/j8BgE43OAwo

Up top, the headline: "SANYO FIRST OFF THE BLOCKS WITH A CD-ROM AMIGA 500? A combined CD-ROM/Amiga had already been developed in Japan as early as last August, the Express can reveal." The article describes how the specs resemble an Amiga 500, but the case resembles an Amiga 2000 with a Sanyo badge; while Commodore US knew nothing and Commodore Japan did not respond (not terribly good signs), the quote from the lead engineer Nakamura stated they were looking forwards to porting Amiga home titles to the Japanese market. But don't go looking for one at your local used game shop. Instead, this deal would fall through and they would spend 1990 shovelling out the C64 "Games System" (like a C64 you can't program, but more expensive!) and spend further development money reinventing this working Amiga with the CDTV (1991, 2 years later, 60000 units sold) and the CD32 (1994, 4 years later, 125000 units sold).

Despite a strong opening act, Commodore made multiple errors through the 80s. Perhaps one of the biggest ones was the Sanyo Amiga CD-X. The CD-X was set to use the established Amiga 500 electronics and receive Japanese arcade ports from Taito, Capcom, Sega, and Konami... in 1989. (Source.)
