@miah It's my in-use Windows drive. 😭

@miah Fuck. It's not even that old.

Strip Poker II/Deluxe Strip Poker (Artworx Software Company, 1988) #DOSGaming

@samf @jberg Not officially, no.

A demonstration of how the Blade Runner videogame (1997) stored each frame of its "3D" models. A very unique vertical slices technique which the engine could draw from any rotation around its vertical axis.
