Back in the days, when computers were an adventure...

I'm amazed at the frame rate its pulling, granted it is just basic wire-frame graphics.

[h4ngman]

Kathode ray tube display...

BWWWAAHAHAHAHA

Also, I love how the image starts flickering when he draws a few extra freehand lines.
Seriously, huge credit to those guys though, for building the foundation of fucking everything graphical.

Hey! it's canadian too!

[wranglor]

Wow, you need at least 75 in science to activate a terminal like that

[Anthos]

I wasn't expecting the 3D part, it's amazing what they were capable of back then. It's like a prehistoric version of Blender :v:

[Key_in_skillee]

I bet this was the most impressive thing on the fucking planet when it was first shown.

Yeah, we sure had a lot of cool things back then.

Install Vista without any patches or updates and have an adventure!

[brandonsh]

I always love watching this older CG stuff.

[Dlaor-guy]

It's funny because it has better shape tweening than Flash.

[Laughing Stock]

I would have orgasmed if I was in the presence of this back then.

Still shocked there isn't a -punk prefix for '70s-'80s technological styles.

Vector graphics can be drawn much faster than bitmaps.

"Retro" might work.

Though only artists I know of that use that technological/art style is Boards of Canada

Retropunk?
Analoguepunk?

[Michael haxz]

But can it run Crysis?

[HazzaHardie]

[QUOTE=Michael haxz;35654181]But can it run Crysis?[/QUOTE]
no

[Drax-Quin]

The funny thing about it is even though it's the technology is so simple it's so bloody hard to do anything because the interface is so tedious/complex. He probably worked all day just to get it to do that :v:

Vector graphics, still no

[Stonecycle]

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;35655815]Vector graphics, still no[/QUOTE]

Text, so yes. Wait. Unicode. Back to no.

[elih595]

I don't know how they could draw all day using a mouse.

What would you call the fallout series' style?

[Tacosheller]

[QUOTE=H4ngman;35700879]What would you call the fallout series' style?[/QUOTE]

Art Deco? Fallout uses 20's to early 60's, nothing past.
I'd call 70's/80's vectorpunk but that's just me.

I like how you can tell which of the two guys is the animator because he's the tall thin one in a turtleneck
