I was shocked to see how few people know of #OpenTyrian for Linux, one of the best ports! It's free on the Ubuntu repos. After installation, run 'game-data-packager tyrian' on a terminal, and it will create a .deb file for you on your home folder. Install the deb, and you'll have all the game data available for the game to work properly. Very enjoyable game!

Running here on my Linux Mint.

OpenTyrian is an open source port of the DOS game Tyrian. Check your favorite app store and see if it's available.

Prefer composing small libraries rather than using specialized, all-in-one frameworks. 🍱 The frontend g8 template has recently added zio-http as a backend. I would personally like to see Tapir integrated as well. #scala #tyrian https://github.com/linux-root/tyrian-flowbite.g8/

Новый взгляд на старые игры. Часть 6. Sound Blaster AWE 32/64. Эмуляция на базе VirtualMIDISynth и aweromgm

На примере семи игр проанализируем возможность получения схожего звучания без наличия под рукой, по нынешним меркам, достаточно редко встречающихся и достаточно не дешёвых, звуковых карт, впервые представленных в районе марта 1994 года, а также сравним полученный результат с записанным звучанием на реальном железе.

@carlosefr @zorrobandito I guess my beloved #WarHawk would fit in the euroshmup category. Checked https://shmups.wiki/library/Euroshmups and yeah, #Tyrian is in there. It seems it wasn't made in Europe, though T_T

Some colours were more difficult to obtain and hence, more precious than others in ancient times… It makes me wonder if ordinary people felt starved of colour in their day to day life,compared to the elite? As their choices of pigments were obviously much more restricted when it came to clothing and homes.

“by the 1460s, the cochineal gained such popularity in Europe that it superseded #Tyrian purple as the traditional color of the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church”
