So I got a new camera for my birthday. And some cash. What better way to test it out than to make a nauseating shaky-cam video of random junk? Besides, people often ask where I find my retro stuff. This is the answer: Goodwill stores and Goodwill Outlet centers.
Okay, so maybe it's not the best result, but hey. This was just me and my brother farting around and seeing what worked and doesn't work on the new "HD" camera, while finding random junk for cheap at various thrift stores. Wasn't sure if I was going to upload it, but I figured "what the heck"?

The one, the only, the original Voodoo1. Back when 3D acceleration was a new thing, the 3DFX cards blew away home consoles and set the PC apart as THE gaming machine to own for maximum awesomeness. And one of the most iconic is the Diamond Monster 3D 4MB PCI card.
A quick overview of the card and a direct comparison of 2D software modes and 3D accelerated modes using Glide and Direct3D. Footage of Quake, Need for Speed II SE and Tomb Raider 2, all on Windows 95. Now *THIS* is hardcore gaming, 1997-style!

So the Voodoo is an amazing card for older PCs, but what about the Mac? Is it even possible to run a PCI 3D graphics card made for Windows under Mac OS? This is just a quick overview and a test of a 3Dfx Voodoo2 PC card being installed in a Mac Performa 6400 computer, using special Glide extensions. Quake is used for benchmark purposes, because it's awesome.
Yes, there were Macintosh versions of the Voodoo cards made, but those are somewhat hard to come by. But this is the testing of a card without the Mac BIOS, originally made for PCs!

This walkthrough uses Windows 7 and Adobe Photoshop CS4. Other software combinations can be used but the steps may be slightly different.
This also assumes basic knowledge of file types, archives, graphics editing and software manipulation. In other words, this is not the *most* basic of tutorials and I will not be answering questions relating to unzipping and the like as it's not in the scope of this video or my channel.

A new MS-DOS game? From the year 2011? Yes, they DO exist, and this awesome Pac-Man game by Jason Knight is living proof!
Regarding gameplay logic, this is directly from the dev, Jason Knight:
The game logic is similar in most respects to the original, though due to the 8:3 reduction in game resolution many elements had to be dropped or faked. For example the animation appeared jerky trying to make the ghosts move faster or slower than PakuPaku, so they are for the most part the same speed. In the original you could take corners faster than the ghosts by clipping the edges of each turn -- this was called "cornering" by most players. It was impractical to recreate that at such a low resolution so instead I gave the player a one pixel "boot in the patoot" at every corner to give a slight advantage.
When the ghost go into 'flee' mode when you eat one of the four super-pellets the ghosts are cut to half speed -- this proved using the 'random movement' logic to be too easy despite being remarkably close to the original game's logic. As such I have changed their flee logic to be a bit more intelligent, making you have to put a bit more effort into hunting them down.
Likewise their pursuit mode logic is a bit different -- for the most part the red ghost still tracks you directly, the magenta ghost tries to get in front of you, the cyan one's accuracy decreases the further away the red one is from you, and the brown one is still a bit... silly... but they've been tweaked with a bit of randomness to make them a hair less predictable. Likewise the movement restructions of not being able to turn upwards at the two center "T" shaped maze section while present, has a 1 in 10 chance of being ignored... just to give players a bit of a surprise every once in a while.
The level progressions follow the original game fairly closely, the entire game speeding up or slowing down depending on the level you are playing. The fastest level speed is pretty quick, even compared

Scuds! They're attacking! Quick, man the Patriot missile launchers! Hooray for late 90's DOS shareware that rips off early 80's arcade games.

It's Christmastime once again! And that means cold weather. And cheap holiday computer game cash-ins. Like The Official Father Christmas by Alternative Software. Nothing unofficial about this holiday arcade romp.

A Christmas version of a PC version of an Amiga version of a Commodore 64 game that Nintendo banned from sale in 1987. Sounds like a surefire winner to me!

Just playing some Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and making random comments. Randomly. Kind of a "Let's Play" made on a very lazy day.

Christmas doesn't include the North Pole's Santa Claus everywhere in the world, oh no. In countries like the Netherlands and Belgium you've got Sinterklaas, aka Sint Nicolaas, having his holiday loot stolen and getting his own computer games!

Bullfrog made a Christmas computer game? Yes, yes they did. And it is not nearly as psychotic as the name implies.
