RANDOM VINTAGE BANNER PACK »»»» RIGHT IN YER FACE!

Some nostalgic imagery from the times when [Netscape Navigator] and [FTP servers] ruled the WEB.

[Unreal] is a cult 3D shooter developed by EpicMegaGames back in the 1998. Game unfairly received much less attention comparing to well-known Half-life, despite: more beautiful computer graphics, more atmospheric soundtrack and better overall design. One of the first games to implement 32-bit color and complex illumination. Reason: game was more demanding on system resources. Pentium II with at least 128Mb of ram and powerful GFX accelerator were mandatory requirements.

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-19 [Modernized remake] of vintage black and white [Outer Limits] of the 60s. Most of series are junk, but beware that in rare cases GEMS can be found. Anyways, serial is recommended for those who would like to experience 90s aesthetics like early CGI graphics, CRT monitors, pagers and "shiny new" cellphones. INTRO WARNING: 7TH SEASON IS A COMPLETE ABOMINATION!

I have pretty strong nostalgia regarding vintage light effects. Vibrant blast of light beams: such scheme was very common during 80s days. I don’t understand why movie industry almost abandoned it in favor of generic non-atmospheric CGI illumination. Just check these light rays out!

To dilute generic routine i’ve decided to show up some random art from my favourite cartoons of the past. Hope that you’ll enjoy and maybe recognize some of them!

UPDATED ON: 2023.01.26 Is it a detective? Horror? Comedy? Melodrama? Or psychedelic art-house? Giving glance onto [Twin Peaks] we can quickly discover that movie demonstrates not only serious detective elements, unserious humor, melodramatic notes but scary horror vibes at the same time. How could it be? Film forces watcher to experience controversial states of mind in a short amount of time and it surely features some kind of psychedelic vibes among the frames.

BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system] . It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.

The concept of the show was reading SciFi stories, which were backed with modern electronic music. Music styles revolved from ambient-trance to trip-hop. DJ Incognito always provided unique’n’immersive atmosphere to the show. It’s a pity that he is no longer in project anymore.

I’m not much into rock music, but Porcupine Tree stands out from boring generic rock stuff. [Steven Wilson] - leader of the project resurrected rock style from it’s ashes. His music represent perfectly brewed concoction of space rock, heavy metal, trance and even ambient ingredients. Most of art are melancholic with unexpected positive explosions. My favourite album is [Voyage 34] . VOYAGE 34 PORCUPINE TREE - EVEN LESS

It is pretty strange that i didn’t cover this topic in previous posts. So, i stand corrected and posting it now! @ FIRST: [WHAT IS DEMOSCENE?] In this quick breakdown i’ll point to the most coolest demoscene stuff out there. ▓ IBM PC [DOS/WIN] In early 90s finnish coders from [Future Crew] brought phenomenon of demoscene to masses.

[Frank Klepacki] is well known for [Command & Conqueror] soundtrack released back in a mid 90s. He brought awesome progressive sound to PC platform, which was pretty innovative especially after FM bleeps’n’blops of the 80s era. Don’t get me wrong, i don’t have anything against frequency modulation in games. [UFO X-COM: Enemy Unknown] is an excellent example of how music should be done when you are squeezed by multiple limitations like waveform shapes, file size and so on.
