History of DMA Design
I've just been pointed at http://www.dmadesign.org. It's contains an unfinished history of the company by Mike Dailly, one of the original coders.
There is also a forum to ask Mike about any old stuff. Included in the history is some information about Gore, for those interested parties. Last edited by FromWithin; 16 November 2005 at 02:13. |

Only scanned it quickly but it looked OK to me. Maybe you're joking and I don't get it. |

In the german ASM-magazin it was prewien, too.The mainfigure/sprite animation
was about 240k!(with the best compression algorithm.)To make this executeable without a ram-expansion they had to reduce the sprite size, this would take some time... |

...And it seems the other sprites/bobs had not been much smaller.

I took a quick pic from the preview.The bobs are different. Maybe these are the originally planned bobs. and maybe, maybe this is an candidate for:"I want to get on the index in germany" Last edited by NOB; 19 April 2006 at 21:23. |
