16 bit? Back when we was kids we only got a single bit on Christmas, as a treat
And we had to share it!

Here's a blog post from Scott Miller of Apogee
https://www.apogeeent.com/devblog/dnf-truth

quote:

IMO, while I was not part of the DNF project, as a company owner I had some good insight into the issues with the game's development.

- We were always understaffed by at least 50%.

- We did not have a good development roadmap (at least, I never once saw one), and instead the project was adlibbed too much.

- Because of the game's slow development, when new 3D technology became available, the project--in effect--rebooted to make use of the newest tech causing massive delays over and over.

I like not being a teenager and feeling that they had a 90% complete version of the game they were sitting on. I also like the modern media where there are more than a few project postmortems available - so we have an idea of what's possible and what tracks with reality. Duke4 team was built in a time out when the Quake team was working so - two programers, three level designers, two graphics guys - quake 3 is a dozen people or so.

How is DNF 2001 of all things the one game I've seen where they bothered to animate the character's hands on a motorcycle? It's a tiny detail but it adds a lot.

Just Dumped: The location test build for Megumi Rescue, a Sega System E-based arcade game that failed its location test and was reworked into a home Master System game. Unlike that version, this one uses a vertical monitor and dial/spinner controls!

This won't be in the next version of MAME due to deadlines, but it'll be in the one after that, at the end of June.

That looks fun! Is there a standard spinner/dial controller for PC these days? I remember there were some giant arcade sticks that had one along with a trackball etc, but i'd love to have a small, modest controller I can plug in occasionally for a few games

That just came out/is coming out, and seems perfect. I don't know what the driver situation is or anything, but I'm assuming somebody is going to make it work, because it seems so ideal.

That one is related to Flying Hero, a Famicom game I really like. The Mark III game is okay, but it doesn't have the same spark, so I'm looking forward to checking out this arcade version.

(if you don't recognize it offhand: Marble Madness II)

Apparently this is the later version, which drops the "Marble Man" from the title. It's also the version that uses joysticks instead of trackballs. Still no public dump of the trackball version.

I think the most pressing question on all our minds regarding SimCopter64 is:
