Re: Technically impressive games?

No arguing that NSP's intro is just amazing, but it came after Vroom was released, which always seemed more impressive to me (classic road mixed with 3d and a few samples of various pitches mixed in realtime, oh and 2 player support! An interview with the programmer here http://www.atarilegend.com/interviews/interview.php?interview_id=3)

Also, a bit of trivia for NSP: when Cyrano Jones was messing around with the game trying to make it HD/Falcon/etc installable, he changed the memory detection code and forced it to 512k (IIRC). Then the game switched into this freaky low resolution mode (I think that each pixel was 16x1!) that really made it look like it's a 2600 game :).

I'll see if we can release a special version of this so more people can see it.


(really hope my memory isn't shot to hell and this actually happened, but I'm pretty confident it did :D)
