Talking of Klingons (Which, I know, no-one is...) they never did anything small. Kirk blew up the Enterprise, but the Klingons blew up their moon!
FTFYA bit like the chances of another good Star Trek - or Star Wars - movie, ever again .. ever.
I'm pretty meh about Star Wars since house of mouse decided that it was 'too risky' for a black guy to have a relationship with a white female lead... If they ever do more Star Wars, they've lost me!A bit like the chances of another Star Trek - or Star Wars - movie, ever again .. ever.
But on the other side, this experience with how graphics were done in the early 80s showed me as well, that Mr. Braben was actually really good at that time - it wasn't that easy to make 3d graphics that fluent at that time.
There are rumours they are going to try to remake TNG... with a younger Picard... so they don't have to shave someones head or have such a preachy lead!FTFY
we were discussing that the other day - me too, complete with wobbly crashing ram-pack...we actually have the predecessor of it in our collection - a ZX81 with 16kB memory extension and a thermo printer - we cannot use it anymore though, it used cassette recorder storage and we have none of these devices anymore.

My fears in words. Thank you.You know - the fans - or rather a couple of youtube content creators - did that. They gave Lucas such a hard time over the prequels, he decided to sell up .. So be careful what you wish for, Odyssey deniers.
it was still acceptable with just rendering a bunch of colored triangles - but trying to put textures on it -where you had to rotate the texture in 3d with your own code and figure out which pixels go where killed any reasonable frame rate - this was just not possible at that point in time.Absolutely.
I tried to make my own 3D code, but initial results were... not impressing.
Framerate was... fractional![]()
What, pointing out that the product was subpar is now the customers fault?

i never used it - that was far before I was born - my partner has just a collection of old machines - we even have the Apple Lisa - named after Steve Jobs daughter - one of the first personal computers with a graphical user interface - impressive for it's time, but as well too slow and too expensive - so it never was a big success, but it's interesting to have it.There are pretty good emulators of most of "prehistoric" computers running on Android.
Even all hardware effects we mentioned are working correctly.
So you can have all of your sentimental history always with you, always available, even complete game/software collection fits there.
Sounds like a very Douglas Adams inspired Ship's ComputerScanning for bio spot with the new system :
"Oh, dear scanner, where can I find plants on this planet"
"On the planet."
"Thank you dear scanner, can you be more accurate, it's a big planet and I'm a small human"
"Sure, on the ground. Have fun."
"Thank you mighty scanner for your wisdom".
I have literally the entire planet blue for the 3 bio. Like the entire planet. And can't find them, only found one which was on the geyser.Sounds like a very Douglas Adams inspired Ship's Computer
And now we are back at WWI reconnaissance techniques.Sounds like a very Douglas Adams inspired Ship's Computer
