Stumbling through the 3D Realms Anthology - 1987-1992

Wow, do I really care about this journal so little now that I haven't posted a single one of the video series I've been doing over the last few weeks? Here are the first three parts - they're basically my attempt to substitute for my obsolete dream of becoming a games programme presenter on television.

My experience with the multicolored star thing was from one of the After Dark screensavers ... man, I miss those. Screensavers in general aren't really a thing anymore, are they? And I'm pretty sure After Dark in particular is so dead that you can't even run it in compatibility mode or anything anymore. :( I remember we used to have After Dark Deluxe Edition, with a lot of "screensavers" that were semi-amusing time wasters to watch/enjoy actively but would be absolutely godawful at actually saving a screen (You Bet Your Head, Rat Race, etc.) but my favorite real screensaver was always Satori (which I can't find anywhere now. :() It was just really pretty!

Unfortunately, that is about the extent of my ability to relate to any of this. Of all the games presented thus far, the only one I actually played was IBM Mega Man, which was actually even worse than David's quick two-second cutaway gag reference made it look. :P
