I guess "Unbreaking the thing they broke in the last patch" counts as performance improvements now xD

But zooming out a litte, did he feel he thouroughly "owned the libs" still? Worth it? right? Isn't that what you wanted, guy?

Nice find! I did see an Apple Lisa which kinda had a similar vibe, but that thing was a chonker, so I kinda dismissed it lol

I found a facebook post accompanying this image which I assume was buy the guy (Mauro Sabbione?) and they mention that Peter Gabriel told them to just use a comptuer, so I think this is some kind of 80's micro computer, similar to the TRS-80 in look, but I'm struggling to find what one it is.

There's an early version you can try on itch yesbox.itch.io/metropolis1998

I've had this on my watch list for a while, it looks pretty great!
Metropolis 1998 by YesBox
Recreating childhood pixel by pixel. A beautiful throwback to the city builder & simulation games of the 90s/00s.

I'm sure people would go for it, if you didn't put all over bluesky "QAing this game, it's terrible, got so many problems", It would probably have to be confidential lol

If it doesn't have a seed you can plant and watch grow throughout your game, is it really worth doing? Come on, Peter!

Annoyingly it may not *actually* fit on a floppy disk, by about 20kb... goddamnit xD You can squeeze more than advertised on a floppy, right?

Yeah here in the UK it's only been the past few years we've had scanners that are good enough you don't need to unpack your backs, it used to be really annoying to do, now you just dump all your shit in the tray as-is
