Easter Egg

Gerasimov told Sisu some hints to access the easter egg... "I no longer remember the key combo/sequence. This isn't much of an Easter Egg anyway. It should just show a message. Nothing fancy. The message is encrypted in the code, so you can't see it in a debugger." Doesn't seem like it's a sequence though, so it might be a key combo. Either way, I had a lot of trouble accessing this, so I'm calling it quits for now. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 20:13, 19 September 2016 (EDT)

Screenshots should be CGA

I believe these screenshots (and those on the prototype page) should be retaken with the emulated machine set to CGA. Justifications:

1. VGA was released by IBM in 1987. Thus, a VGA card could not have been the intended video card for a 1986 game. EGA handles 200-line modes the same as CGA, so it would not have produced this output.

2. 40 column VGA doesn't always have the best text proportions. Few VGA-intended games used 40 column mode.

I'm not currently set up for PC emulation to retake the screenshots, but if nobody else does so, I could update the screenshots in the near future.

I know this is like, years late, but you might've been onto something, considering that Vadim's site shows a screenshot of it in CGA mode, rather than VGA mode. Think I'll go and retake all of those myself. (work in progress as of right now) --LilithNaNBweh (talk) 15:48, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
