Monsta, one of the first games I worked on together with other people over 20 years ago has just been officially ported to the iPhone and iPad. It was originally designed for the PalmPilot if you remember those 🙂

We made a Nintendo 64 demo for Revision 2025!
📺 youtu.be/v3wYV6gxJII
It has baked lighting with normal mapping, specular shading (at the end), and of course bloom. The beautiful song was made by @prismbeings.com with guitar performed by soundcloud.com/sou_andrade
Some development notes below.

Here's the Atari ST demo we've released at Sommarhack with SMFX.
Includes some crazy technical achievements from Tom and Spkr as the demo had to run without writing any data to the screen memory.
