The collected works of fatal_error

Ahoy!

Lager, Guinness and Jack Daniels for me.

Too much alcohol these days, but, its probably linux related...
And if thats not enough, they will get retinal burn of the MXI kind
But... is there anything similar available open source?

Probably not. I wonder how easy it would be to make such thing with sdl, a some kind of a wrapper. Hmmm. Im thinkin about it. Because that glterminal is so cool.

Oh yeah, i was just thinking about the possibility to have something similar working on ye olde irix or ... windows or linux ( shhh, i know, its a heresy ). I think i will have to investigate situation further - having a pet project - to try to code similar opengl/sdl hack. Don't hold your breath, though...

This is bit offtopic, but i found a nice set of pages about PowerAnimator 7 (unfortunately in russian), but it includes lots of great and inspirational (retro wise) graphics - http://www.museum.ru/MUSEUM/CGA/apps/pa7/index.html

Google translate does something though - http://translate.google.com/translate?u ... l=ru&tl=en

SPAM alert!

Archive.org saves us a bit in this situation.

Sidefx site from 97 has some text about prims -

Sydney Vislab has some "hands on" stuff about it -

History of sidefx, which includes prims also -

But what happens when archive.org goes extinct? All this wonderfully nice information is lost forever---

Someone did a compile of dillo 2.something a while ago. I think he also linked up the source files to his post. But after that he disappeared.

Oh, here it is

Those PowerAnimator boxes are so... nice - sexy. And all those other 3d softs also. :)

It would be really great to find a place online where to read scans of those old cgw magazines. Doubt that kind of torrents doesn't exist.
