"Lara looks better flat..." ATI's XPERT@Play 98, a mouthful of a GPU name, and not so much the banishment of triangular boobs, but for being flat-panel monitor ready out of the box. From what I've read, the chipset was an ATI Rage Pro Turbo, and it was pretty popular. 📖: CGW, Nov 1998

A scan of an ad for the graphics card with an edited photo of a guy sat in front of an early home flat panel monitor with one hand on a joystick and looking shocked as Lara's chest and a held pistol emerge from the screen.

Stats and features are listed below.

DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO BLOODSHED. In the city of disaster, it's the only way to survive. One of the earliest cyberpunk/post apocalyptic RPGs I've come across, and still one with peak 80s anime OVA rule of cool vibes. 📺: The Screamer, Magical Zoo, 1984 (PC-8801)

The basic premise of a city overrun by a biological computer's horrors is laid out.

One of Primetime's most interesting visual choices is the subtle grain on everything. I think it's emulating the fact that, by the 2000's, television was being shot digitally, but people were still watching it on analog CRTs. Also it's pillar-boxed which doesn't come across in screenshots either
