Most of my concentration as of late has been on the Gaming section of the site, adding reviews for Trauma Center: Under the Knife and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, both of which are wonderful and original additions to the Nintendo DS lineup. I’ll be getting back to the meat of operation 9 here again soon after I complete the upgrade to TXP 4.0.1.
In the meantime, have a little play with this interesting demo from 1991 I found in some old DOS disks I pored through the other night. This is the Superscape Virtual Reality Demo, and using a DOS emulator such as DOSBox, you can blast back to the day when true 3D graphics as we know them today were still in their infancy. To be honest, I haven’t found this demo anywhere else on the Internet, so this is a rare one indeed.
The second download is a package of old screen savers from the mid-to-late 80s. These were true predecessors to modern-day graphics and visualizations everyone takes for granted in everything from iTunes and Winamp, to the venerable-and-late After Dark. Most of them are small productions and won’t be found anywhere else on the ‘net, but are well worth the time to take a look at.
