Farting about with some ideas tonight. Turns out you can fit every possibility of a 4 colour 4px/4px tile into 256x256 VRAM... So why not use these to build the screen rather than generating on the fly? Sure, it'd be chunky... but probably nippy. (for a Game Boy!) #gameBoy

For #RandomGameSaturday here is Sim Earth from Maxis for the #Amiga. I had been seriously addicted to Sim City and was hoping for more of the same, but this game never really clicked with me. One thing I do like is that, even in this budget re-release, the game comes with a text book sized manual.

Bought the new Halo. Hard crashes after 10 mins on my PC. Played Roguecraft for 2 hours instead. Maybe tomorrow there’ll be new drivers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unity sure dropped the ball eh. Dropped it. Tripped on it. Blamed it. Threw it at devs. Bounced back hit them in the teeth. Picked it up. Soaked it in features. Dropped it again because its not a ball anymore. It’s a cube no one asked for.

* MD 3D engine v8.5 * Added X scrolling of the sprite based background. Added X camera movement of the 3D plane ( broke stuff for a while due to wrapping and limited coordinate resolution ) . Video from Exodus with sprite boxing enabled to show how the sprite based BG is made up - Neo Geo style !!
