History of DMA Design

FromWithin · 15 November 2005, 19:01

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.

Blimey man. That site is awesome, just spent the last hour or so reading through that site. Excellent stuff

GORE

Why couldnt they have finished it ...

I remember seeing a tiny magazine preview promising 64colour graphics...

NOB · 19 April 2006, 20:02

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...

NOB · 19 April 2006, 20:45

...And it seems the other sprites/bobs had not been much smaller.
(thanks cfou for the gifs)

Bloodwych · 19 April 2006, 20:54

Nice links, enjoyed the read.

NOB · 19 April 2006, 21:17

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"
