Nice. But this picture on the screen has no spherical distortion, which was typical for such monitors.
But if it's true ... I still have a functional zx-80 machine somewhere so I'm ready to join the team http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You must be suicidal, because if I get my hands on you i'll snap your neck for that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. But seriously, when can we expect the Beta to start?. Not for a few months I imagine.

Re: Space Empires 5 Beta
 

About the se5 Beta,.. Last I heard it was till on schedule for January. It's getting close now, and december is always the month that passes the fastest due to holiday fever, so get ready, the greuling arduious work of beta testing is comming fast.

Re: Space Empires 5 Beta
 

On my first attempt, I tried scaling the width down to 320, and then cropped the vertical to 200. That generated plenty of distortion.
Since the original pics are fullscreen-shaped, the way to go is to just force 320x200 without worrying about the proportions. Looks distorted in transit, works out fine in the end.

ROFLMAY

What is that, an old apple or something? Any whoo, my TRS-80 should qualify me for the older machine beta. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

We got it at home from NCR around 1984; handful of Mhz CPU (14-ish?), full 640k ram, 10 meg HD, slightly pre-CGA video card.
DOS v2.11, Quickbasic with compiler, Sopwith and Star Control (along with innumerable QB games written by me & my bro).

HAhahaha!!!! LOL!!!
Now that's funny!
It reminds me of a pic I saw when Doom 3 came out. There was a pic with an old computer with a screenshot on it asking for disk #666. And in front of the computer were a few HUGE stacks of floppy disks. Haha, it was so funny.
