big hug
that's great.

let's have some fun.
does anyone know to which game this music belongs, it's not a space game, neither it's intellivision but it's from an early successor of the second gen. consoles:

i know i know it's out of tune (50Hz grid freq.) to silent and trashy.

let's get back to topic:

second try

I think you will like this one Gernot, from the game Darwinia. I still play this now and again

i guess the title tells all, no i didn't know this game, but will for sure look out for it.
sounds pretty funny on the small speakers i have connected to the notebook.
i did it twice today, i first filled the head of a guy on disqus who dared to ask how the dinosaurs started to fly and actually why didn't all animals can fly, i guess he's a creationist.
and then i filled your head with almost the same topic

what i like to post and had already in mind, is one for my buddy phil.

if i'm not playing pioneer and do not work on phoenix i have another favorite (or two), one of them is "Streets of Simcity" which i like much and to which i added new hand-edited racetracks. the tracks are "simply" SC2000 cities. "simply", it needs some experience to build or grow cities which are suitable for a race, i prefere growed cities because you won't place the buildings in the same way a city grows even if that is a sort of "starter town" which grows from a complete zoned citymap. the cities i created last spring are special "race cities" kinda "rollercoaster" strip some cities are build along a long track and have little or no crossings. important is to me that the track goes up and downhill often and includes some tricky passages because the race scenarios are a little "dumb" respectively the AI is dumb. i did my best to edit the output of the scenario creator which is unfortunately limited to a simple race. it would be possible to spawn police or crooks along the road but that's quite tricky if you don't know the exact commands for this and the rotten scenario file is a binary which didn't makes it easier to modify it.
however, i managed it to spawn crooks or other traffic (not in this scenario) and to release certain events (like the applause you can hear) when you pass a certain tile or area of the map.

the game runs with the help of dgVoodoo very well on my win10 x64 notebook, that good that i won't need any other helping application to run that old tard, which is uncommon for a win 95 game. dgVoodoo makes a good job and i expect it won't have looked this brillant on a win95 even with an Voodoo graphics accelerator card or you would have had to spent quite a lot of money to reach this in 1996/97.

the music in this clip (that's why i present it here) is from "Astrosmash" (composer/musician) which is certainly the right music for this "Intellivision" race track. it's an ode to Intellivision on an ode to MAXIS' SC2K.

Colour this thread resurrected. Unfortunately, Ginger Baker cannot be resurrected - RIP, Ginger:

While I'm at it, Robert Hunter died a couple of weeks ago. I've always had a soft spot for this: 

@codyYeah,..I heard about Ginger. These days I feel everything I know and love is slowly going away. I hate getting old.

Posted by: @geraldine I hate getting old. :(You and me both! I keep seeing 50th anniversary editions of albums I bought on release. Here you go, amiga - have a freshly-baked ogg!

@codyLiked that Cody! :DOk, ok, maybe I am dwelling too much on the past but what to do?HmmmmmmOh I know! I will play something from the present number 1 from the UK's album chart. Yes, something new and modern. That will do it surely?

<chuckles> Case in point - I queued at my local record shop to buy Abbey Road the day it was released.Here's a gem of a single from Chicken Shack, also released in '69 Hart does a terrific rendition of that old classic! Nurse, nurse - where's my medication?

No! Step away from the medicine Jar!

Posted by: @geraldine No! Step away from the medicine Jar!I can't, I'm a medicine head! 

Deep space, falling slowly in-system, drives on minimum, scanner clear, local time 00:55 - all is quiet. One a.m. approach! 

Christmas is a time to head home! Yes, I think so!
