Back in February I headed up to Marin to backup some of Aric's old CDs from LucasArts era. In one of the backup, this odd demo surfaced. It's now preserved online.
Video Game History Foundation@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social · last mo.In a very Indy-like move, we've unearthed a never-before-seen Lucasfilm Games Indiana Jones adventure! Note that we said "adventure," not "game." For possibly the first time ever, here's Indiana Jones and the Quest for Paradise VGA, the best ten-minute commercial you'll see this week.

Wrote a test harness that let me run the decompiled game in lockstep with the Ymir emulator, validating that for the same input, the game behavior remain faithful to the original code. This checks character position, camera, collisions, and can easily add more. #panzerdragoonsaga #reverseengineering
Philippe Vachey has restored and published the original soundtrack for 'Alone in the Dark', the French survival horror game that inspired an entire genre back in 1992. nowplaying.cool/after-34-yea...

Tonight I'm trying to debug collisions. Very little progress, but I did add some better way to display the collisions meshes as that are tested by the engine. Large cities are sectorized in cells, so only a fraction of the collisions are processed around Edge. #panzerdragoonsaga #reverseengineering
Finishing up Dragon morphing tonight. Always wondered how that worked, and it's pretty simple geometry morphing. All dragons form share the same vertex count and topology. The textures are just interpolated on the CPU and updated in VDP1 memory per frame. #panzerdragoonsaga #reverseengineering
Played through the Adventures of Elliot demo. First, it’s a pretty long demo. And second, what a chatty companion! Even with reducing the talkativeness in the options, it’s pretty intense.
From the shelve, here is the pamphlet that was given out to press during the launch party of Heavy Rain in Paris. Should probably scan it at some point. (Amusingly it’s missprinted and has the same page twice in the middle) #heavyrain #gamehistory
@mdashow.bsky.social someone on Thursday was mentioning there was a bay area gamedev discord server and I needed to ping you?
I randomly bumped on the fact that Delphine Software "Cruise for a Corpse" was originally using very different graphics. That version is probably lost, but it's interesting to see what it was looking like before scraping all the graphics. #retrogaming #adventuregames
Starwars trivia night. Did ok on the original trilogy and even prequel, but went downhill pretty quick on the sequel and tv shows questions. Still a lot of fun.
Today I learnt there was an official Expedition 33 beret, and I'm almost tempted. #expedition33

Been wiring a few more scenes in Saga decompilation. There is so much hardcoded logic in something like this. Still, I'm often impressed at the tricks they used to make this work on a Saturn. The vdp2 water distortion here works pretty well. #decomp #PanzerDragoonSaga #SegaSaturn
