First of all a sad farewell to those at the Forest of Illusion game preservation group, it just goes to show how shallow it all is. Cost of living and precious little time to work on preservation was the final nail in this coffin. News story here.
In a bizarre twist to this, we went to the boot sale today, no stick with it. Along with a Dell keyboard for £3, (super nice) and a windows 7 back up along with a few other things. I've hit the motherlode of old paper ephemera.
Chucked out near the bin in one of the green garden waste bags was a load of paper from various computer fairs and things ripped from magazines. I guess whoever it was that owned them before was really into early 3D. So there are bits and pieces from TV Paint and Lightwave 3D, various rendering leaflets from long dead companies and some glossy brochure from Rare, which is the highlight. I'm guessing its circa 1996 because it has an Ultra 64 logo instead of the released N64. It shows a rendered Diddy and Dixie Kong along with Sabrewulf from Sabrewulf (Killer Instinct), and plugs their Rareware 3D platform.
Also some weird internet road map that has to have come from a computer show. And yes it's an actual map.
