Early PC video cards had a composite video output, and clever programmers have learned to control the artifacts to produce more colors than intended. 8088 MPH by Hornet, CRTC, and DESiRE gets 1024 colors out of a 1981 IBM Color Graphics Adapter… that the 16-color CGA standard was named after. 😂

PAL consoles can often output RGB just because SCART existed, with NTSC versions of the same consoles only having S-video as the best connection without modification.

Edit: S-video has fewer artifacts than composite, but that ruins some effects like turning the “transparency” of water in Sonic the Hedgehog into a checkerboard. The checkerboard was always there, but the blurring of composite made it appear to just be darker shades of the colors behind it (dithering). The illusion of more colors was important for Sega’s 512-color Mega Drive when Nintendo’s SNES had a full 16-bit palette of over 32,000 colors and “real transparency” (selectively replacing pixels with a lighter/darker shade).

MFW I think I heard a can open off in the distance.

Lynx was as much “the Epyx console” as it was “the Atari portable”. Epyx had so many high-quality games on Commodore 64; I have not played all of the Lynx ports but I can tell you that Electrocop was a sequel to Impossible Mission, in spirit. All of “The Games” (unlicensed Olympics) series were pretty great on C64.

Early on, one of Epyx’s founders got sick of just reusing the Apshai engine over and over and left to found Free Fall, who created Archon - one of Electronic Arts’ first games.

I had heard that Ubuntu is an old African word for “can’t configure Debian”

You said Ubuntu three times. /s

AUR is supposed the last resort, after distro repos, building from source, Flatpak, and Appimage. Ubuntu’s equivalent to the AUR would be PPAs.

Personally, I have fewer problems gaming on Arch than any other I’ve tried.

Edit: Snap is bad for software freedom. I won’t touch Ubuntu anymore; if I use apt, I meant apt and not snap. Hijacking my command is Microsoft-style rug-pulling.

Voyager, and it looks good to me! 🤔

Is this loss? Well, technically, it is a loss of tightness…

This is the fourth? post I’ve read about it.

The AUR (Arch User Repository) consists of user-submitted content. It’s equivalent to installing game.exe from somewebsite.com, so not surprising that it would be used as malware vector.

Some are suggesting Arch is being targeted due to rising popularity of the Arch-based CachyOS.

I played this on Commodore 64 as a kid and have one of these cabinets that needs to be resurrected. No original wire harness or PCB but that may be a blessing in disguise. Usually, I like running the original hardware, but this game is difficult to keep in working order.

New printers only come with a sample cartridge, not a full one.
