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.

You mean 'typos' and 'mislabeled'?

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.

for:"I want to get on the index in germany"
