WinoFly – a selection of music, sounds, and special moves
WinoFly is a fun game about flies. It's in the style of Windows 3.11. And it has sprite graphics. Kind of kawaii. But only Windows 3.11 has a 256-color palette. There's a white background. And funny sprite objects. Like flies flying around.

I distinctly remember seeing the box art for "Beneath a Steel Sky" (1994) in catalogues and supermarket brochures. I don't know exactly what its minimalist sobriety made me think the game would be like, but it didn't quite match what the game actually was once I first played it.
Still memorable though.
I first played through "Beneath a Steel Sky" (1994) over a decade after its release. The game felt retro at the time, but doesn't feel any older 20 years later.
It's an adventure game set in a dystopian future, in Australia (a popular location for dystopian futures). It's also a more serious game than what you'd get from LucasArts, but still humourous often enough (as adventure games should be).
The voices don't always match the text exactly, which can be annoying.
I'm playing one of the best and most underrated computer games of all time. Noctis IV. On MS-DOS.
I'm checking out the original Wing Commander Deluxe Edition CD-ROM, I recently found on the Internet Archive's redump library. This one lets you make a dedicated data disk for your savegames.
I ran this on my virtual Compaq Deskpro 386/25MHz without any modification or issue using the latest 86Box v6.0 Beta.

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
