I'm sure this will end further distribution just as effectively as it did when they issued take a down against AM2R ...

Half-Life is one of those seminal games I will never get tired of. The retrospective documentary in the same link was really interesting too. The way the developers spoke about the crunch to finish was a little painful because I can completely empathise. I recognise the mix of extreme pride in being a part of something so impactful, combined with strong notes of bitterness about the personal costs.

On the brightside they got a really strong showing from Id. Atari really should have leaned into that considering how much of a phenomenon Doom was at the time. The Jaguar had the definitive Doom and Wolf3D console ports until the PSX turned up.

Atari50 was an incredible collection of materials but its really unique and new contribution was the excellent Jaguar emulation. Existing emulators have been a little hit-or-miss with compatibility but this absolutely nailed it. Huge kudos both for the technical achievement and to Digital Eclipse for allowing the author to release it separately:

I love Tempest 2000 on Jaguar, but I feel like I'm missing out on the tactile heft of the rotary controller and the visual impact of the original arcade machine.
