This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anyone tell that fool that CRTs were literally the only kind of TV that existed at the time
Admittedly, this game doesn't look particularly good on a CRT, either.
The hype about the visuals being "3D" was so weird and misinformed, and you could absolutely tell at the time.
It was pseudo-3D, I remember reading an article about how they made the sprites, but can't find that... wikipedia has
and they used SGI workstations to create the models and animations before compressing/converting them to 2D sprites
(sharing bc I thought that's a crazy amount of money for 1992)
Meanwhile, Nintendo positioned this method to compete with Aladdin, which simply hired Walt Disney animators to do the sprites.
