Anders Gulden OlstadThanks to Arne Nestor for lending my father a copy of this floppy. I never did martial arts, but I did this one! (1984 ed.) It was a gateway drug into the #Sierra world. #Retrocomputing #Retrogames #SierraOnline #KingsQuest
Sound Trax
HP van BraamAnother sweet #RolandMT32 tune! #sierra's #silpheed.
The setup:
- Celeron 300A
- Roland MPU-401AT
- Roland MT-32
- Soundblaster 64
Direct capture from VGA and Audio! The "snow" at the start is also visible on my monitor. Maybe an incompatibility with my VGA?
(I promise this isn't a MT32 account now. I was testing my new capture setup and it came out beautifully. I hope you'll all enjoy!)
Even if your truck is next-level, climbing in should be easy. Stop in today to upgrade your pickup with automatic side steps for convenience and cool factor! 🛻🪜 #sidesteps #f150 #silverado #sierra #tundra #titan #superduty
ATMcashpoint@ramon_wilhelm In versions between 2001-2 and 2010, the art in AGDI's KQ1 & KQ2 remakes was much different, and in the case of KQ1, arguably inferior to Sierra's 16-color SCI0 game. The changes in 2010 made both fangames far more visually appealing.
Also, the term "VGA" that AGDI used for their fan remakes was always a misnomer, since their games have a much higher color depth.
One more #RolandMT32 song, as a treat. The intro to #Sierra's Space Quest 3.
MPU-401AT, MT-32, and an AWE64, all direct capture.
I'm super happy with my new setup!
Also, this song absolutely slaps.

Testing my capture setup and video editing rig. I'm pretty happy with it!
novaTopFlexHype for the Future 136G: City of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Overview The City of Truth or Consequences is located within the boundaries of Sierra County, New Mexico, in the United States of America. The area is largely associated with natural hot springs in the southwestern portion of the State, honored by the Geronimo Springs Museum, as well as a number of local art galleries within the community of around 6,000 residents.
Mr CreosoteI've heard good things about #RevolutionSoftware's #Amiga port of #KingsQuestVI. Tried it for the first time. It's much snappier than those earlier #Sierra in-house ports! And what they do with palette swapping is impressive. The Amiga (5 bit colour depth) scene lost the sword, but apart from that, it's hardly distinguishable from the original 8 bit colour depth.
