       Earlier this week I boosted a toot from @gamesthatwerent on Into The Shadows of their very impressive demo for a 3D FPS (TPS?), before Quake.The instance I'm on doesn't support "quote posts", but I wanted to highlight the research from @press_rouch after I pondered "those animations, they look very motion captured, but it was 1995"Turns out, they were. In an interview with a French gaming magazine, they mentioned they actual hardware they used for that. In 1995!https://mastodon.green/@press_rouch/116411091865682545

       @dosnostalgic @gamesthatwerent @press_rouch Sure, but this was a small studio.I also really thought it was a much later thing for the games industry, I can't really recall any big titles from the 90s/early 00s that advertised motion capturing?Apparently Omikron: The Nomad Soul even used face capturing, despite the low-polyness of the end result.

       @dosnostalgic Interesting. Maybe I don't remember anything about it because I didn't really know what it meant back then.Did Mario Teaches Typing really have something advanced going on? I played a bit of it when I was on my Mavis Beacon/"I should really learn how to type properly" streak, but it was only Mario's voice actor standing out. Terrible game.You don't mean the face at the start of Mario 64? If not, I need to go back.

       @malwaretech Is Mythos any good though? I can't find any actual results through all the hype.

       Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.https://virtualosmuseum.org/Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.#retrocomputing

       I couldn't find a list of all the operating systems currently available via the Virtual OS Museum (https://virtualosmuseum.org/), so I created one:https://justpaste.it/m2n36Number of installations to choose from: 1703.#retrocomputing
