The Duel: Test Drive II (Distinctive / Accolade, 1989)

I had a lot of fun with friends and family playing Test Drive II (and especially III) on the PC back in the day. These driving games were pretty awesome for their time.

sometimes i fear all of the greatest pixel work was already done in the early 90s

was playing DreamWeb tonight and noticed this scene in a mobster's office. so much thought and careful colour choice went into this scene drawn by artist David Dew over 30 years ago:
- it is drawn from a palette of 256 colours
- the cigar is 3 pixels, with a single pixel for a flaming tip; and yet, manages to perfectly express that it is a cigar.
- the 5 pixel gun slides across the desk in a casual, yet threatening, manner
