    Not to alarm you about modern software but "emulate a complete 486/120 system and play an MP3 in it" turns out to be one of the more CPU and memory efficient ways to listen to music on my laptop.

    My run of 25+ year lead times in finishing what I started continues as I delve back into the archives to fix a QBASIC game I originally wrote in 1997. In which I try to add AI despite knowing nothing about game AI. #promo

    1. Adding AI to my 26 year old QBASIC game | QBASIC Rescue
      from Timberwolf
      "You're a moderately successful web developer, and yet you spend your evenings programming old QBASIC games," as a friend of mine said the other week. There'...

    I can't review Police Quest through modern eyes because I didn't see it through modern eyes, I saw it through the eyes of a 9 year old in 1991. But I can go for a wander through the town I lived in at the time in what is probably a concept too far. #promo

    1. Revisiting the streets of my youth via Sierra's Police Quest
      from Timberwolf
      It's time to go back to the streets I spent my childhood on. To answer that question, "can you go back again?"But which are the streets of my childhood? Are ...

    Flight Unlimited: in which I buy a copy of an old game I used to have, and it suddenly becomes Very Important to go off on a long tangent about the machines we ran these things on, possibly drawing the ire of the rich kids who no doubt got Pentiums the moment they came out. I care not, to the point I even emulated most of it in period-correct 486-o-vision. #promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuliJOYsTEE

    1. Is Flight Unlimited the first true modern flight sim... and should I have run it on a 486 DX2?
      from Timberwolf
      Any question can be answered "yes" if you get to define your own parameters. Nevertheless, I would like to tell you about Flight Unlimited, why I think it do...

    #promo I found some old game levels I made years ago and therefore decided there should be a video about them.

    I also filled in all the bits about nudity, violence and the rest on the YouTube "advertiser friendly" questionnaire honestly. For a video about Duke Nukem 3D. Let's say I'm not expecting great things in terms of organic in-platform discovery... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbzNQEsEhrU

    1. Duke Nukem 3D, the Build engine, and my 1990s attempts at level creation
      from Timberwolf
      Duke Nukem 3D is an all time classic. It's a shame I was only ever any good at making levels. And even for that I needed the help of a vintage guide.I recoun...

    Accidentally became a retro gaming YouTuber, although perhaps the only one who combines technical explanations of how the games of my youth worked with the most unimaginably awful puns available. And cheap wolf ears.This profile is only occasionally that, and is more likely trash-level wittering about music and British culture interspersed with shitposts.He/him, ally, don't be a dick.
