Für das Betriebssytem Windows 95 hab ich soeben auch noch eine Diskettenfassung der deutschen Updateversion hochgeladen. Wie schon bei der Vollversion, die ich letzte Woche veröffentlicht hatte, handelt es sich auch hier wieder um Datenträger im 1,68MB DMF-Format.

Ich wünsch euch viel Spaß damit!

in 1998 i was in my 2nd year of university; once a month i'd have enough cash to buy a new PC game. cash burning a hole in my wallet, i'd wander over to my favourite big box store (The Future Shop) and browse through their 4 aisles of big box PC games and spend 1-2 hours reading the copy on *every* box. there were so many great AAA games out that i'd end up having to choose between 3 or 4. it was torture.
that particular day i had to choose between Fallout 2, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Half-Life and Baldur's Gate which were all in the centre of one aisle. 😓
at the very end of the same aisle were games with FMV like Riven, Ripper, and a new one called Black Dahlia. it had a huge yellow STARRING DENNIS HOPPER sticker on the front cover. i gave it a dirty look: years earlier i had been burned to a crisp on FMV games like The Critical Path and Ground Zero: Texas, and i wasn't going to make that mistake again. i grabbed a copy of Half-Life and went straight to the checkouts.
25+ years later, i finally got to see what i missed out on. Black Dahlia was among the last of the classic FMV adventure games, and it's surprisingly well-produced. @sqhistorian's documentary is composed of interviews with the original cast, crew and development team - and watches exactly like an (Ars) War Stories doc.

if you're into the mechanics of movie production, set design, and the complexities of translating cinematics to gameplay, i highly recommend it.
