Truck mods. Is enough enough? Not yet. #LiftedTruck #Titan #Tundra #Silverado #F150 #Sierra

Another 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

@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.

MPU-401AT + MT-32 playing #sierra's Thexder II (badly)

Testing my capture setup and video editing rig. I'm pretty happy with it!

I'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.

inexplicably, the best parts of Sierra On-Line’s catalogue are often its least talked about. The Manhunter series has this absolutely bizarre setting - where aliens have devastated NYC and you work as a minion in their spy agency.

i can kind of understand why it became a cult rather than popular classic: it’s full of surprisingly graphic cartoony corpses, takes place in a post-apocalyptic city, and is full of dark humour. the polar opposite of every King’s Quest setting.

and exactly why i think it’s one of their best.
