Machs gut Duke Nukem - heute heißt es Abschied nehmen. Aber die Trauer währt nur kurz. Es geht endlich wieder in die Keller von Ultima Underworld und vielleicht ist noch bisschen Zeit für Star Trek 25th Anniversary #retro #retrogaming #retrogamer #retrogames #twitchde #twitch #twitchstream #streamer #twitchstreamer #pc #pcdos #sierra #spacequest #rogerwilco #dukenukem #dukenukem3d #startrek #startrekgame #startrek25thanniversary #Ultima #UltimaUnderworld

In case any other fans of #UltimaUnderworld follow me here, the world record time for beating the game was brought down to just over 16 and a half minutes a few months ago in this fantastic speedrun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXzrD_AdeCA

@aut thats really neat! Not long ago I was reading about texture mapping and why the video game #UltimaUnderworld had such warped textures compared to #Doom which was released near the same time.

I dont have the skill nor time to program my own exercise in this area, though I definitely think that both texture mapping and ray tracing look like fun exercises!

Coincidentally earlier today I was thinking about ray casting for a doom wad I'm working on.

(I think I'm missing a bit in the middle, but this, the opening narration from #UltimaUnderworld , has been living rent-free in my head since 1992 or so.)

Ahahah, caro il mio guardian, suca fortissimo. #ultimaUnderworld
