Realized I haven't posted much of this project on this site. It's a very-much-work-in-progress infinite urban walking sim.

Repost if you want the iconic 'Super Scaler' aesthetic to make a comeback.

After you finish the game, it unlocks a shop. The items in the shop add a strategic element that I have not seen in any other game.

Thats a good question. I got the books decades ago. The assembly book has an ISBN 0-672-30526-7 and the 3d gaming book ISBN 1-57169-004-2

The turbo assembler book has a chapter on programming Windows 3.11 in assembler. The 3D game book shows how to setup a mode 13 double buffered fullscreen app with assembler. Also shows how to program the soundblaster in assembler.

Also as you enter a boss fight release two tornados, and jump attack the boss. If he retreats to the corner he will be hit 5-6 times by the tornados. Keep attack jumping and he will get trapped in the corner for an instant kill. Got to be aggressive AF.

Sorry for the image quality(arcade), but the Master System missed the most important gameplay mechanic. Each sword got stronger and bigger, making the game much easier to play.

This game and Hunt for Red October were my favourite gameboy games.

Strider because it was arcade perfect. Streets of rage 2 is an experience that should not be missed.

The C64 version was actually good.

Redrawings and homebrews also cool.

Devastators exactly! GI Joe did much better with the devastators style.

This is why I am on Bluesky. Really rare arcade stuff that I haven't seen before.

The chapter on advanced sprites shows how the lynx tilted and stretched sprites in hardware. Really interesting stuff.

This is my favourite 3D texture. You can see that the engine is actually a SuperScaler!
