You haven't won until you WON. Remember that splash screen advertising TF2 for a loooong time at the main menu for almost all half life games? Even had screen shots that made it look like a reskin of tfc.

I just thought of another oldie but goodie from the Commodore 64 days and was ported to NES - Archon. Old school Electronic Arts when they were amazing.

I once ordered a MORPHING!!!1 program from my shareware catalog because how was I supposed to know what was actually possible on consumer hardware for free. Filled with visions of making the equivalent of that one Michael Jackson video, I set it to morph one photo of a face into another one that I had on hand. It ground away for about half an hour creating what it promised to be a morph animation with about twenty frames. And in the end, it was... a crossfade.

In the 90s there was a Star Trek TNG tie-in book whose gimmick was that it's an historic account of how computers in the 20th century worked. It was actually a pretty decent rundown of computer technology at the time, but the one thing that sticks out in my mind was the graphics software section talking about morphing. The example in the book was a simple crossfade  FFS, there was even a really good morphing effect in one of the Star Trek films. They could have at least used that.

drunk asian neighbor posted:Same thing with the Gamecube modem attachment; I can't remember why it was so valuable though, and the only game I can think of that used it was Phantasy Star Online. The broadband adapter goes for ~$50 on eBay. I still have one stuck in my Gamecube from the days of Phantasy Star Online. There were a whopping seven games that used it, three of which were versions of PSO, another three were LAN-only, and the last was a Japan exclusive. Mario Kart Double Dash can use the adapter to connect four systems and have 16-player games, which sounds pretty sweet, but do people really spend a total of $200 on the broadband adapters alone to do that? What else could you do with it any more? How would I test it to sell it?? So many questions.

I used to have this, but never got around to be able to use it well enough as a kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_poX1_we5z0 I remember TrueSpace used to be pretty big, too. I was mentioning it and some other CG programs from the 90s/early 00s to someone in a store one day and they had no idea what any of them were. Oh, and Poser, which found a second life creating fetish porn.

Oh god, I spent so much time playing with KPT Bryce on my sister's computer, making poo poo like this:  Her mighty 75mhz mac would chug and chug forever to render our masterpieces. She was in art school, so she was making actual Art, ostensibly. We recently found her work from her first year on a zip drive that miraculously still worked. It was adorable  It was the mid/late-nineties, and everyone was so excited about computers!And uhhh I don't know if this could be considered NWS but I guess I'll link it just in case? Someone decided to make a big field of boob blobs in stunning 3D

thathonkey posted:I remember trying to play Dreamcast online with a modem but I don't think it was successful. First thing I remember working was PS2 with the ethernet adapter you could buy. The Dreamcast had a built-in 56k modem and an optional broadband adapter which was hard as hell to find and super expensive so I just ran a phone cord to my lunix computer and emulated a PPP connection all that just to go online and post "I am posting this from my Dreamcast, I don't have the keyboard, this is slow as balls with the controller" fuckin loved that Dreamcast

I used that loving Dreamcast to surf for 4 years, haha. I ended up killing maybe 3 of them, which didn't matter because you could buy the things for like $50. Quake 3 Arena loving owned on that.

Yeah, there was a definite hierarchy to it. Like PC users with broadband were gods, then came the DC BB players, then 56k mouse and keyboard, 56k controllers next, and finally you had the Brazilians with 575 ping.

Buttcoin purse posted:I knew someone with one of those. I suppose it's a good feature that the top of the PC is curved so you can't put anything on top of it, because that way it can radiate heat out through all those layers of plastic bubble? You clearly didn't use Windows 95 much. Back then, developers were kind of dicks and the DLL search order wasn't as refined and separate between system and application as it is today, so applications would install THEIR versions of DLLs into the Windows system directory, occasionally horribly breaking things.
