LMK. I love dorking around with digital video <cough>www.demodvd.org</cough>. > Actually, this guy mentioned Mean Streets as well. I have to admit that I > haven't played it...it sounds like one I have to pick up. Just pirate it. All copies, even craptastic Slash releases, go for more than they're worth IMO. Slash, don't pay more than $20; non-Slash, pay up to $55 if it's complete. But personally I don't think they're worth more than that (even though the fans disagree with me). Sherlock Holmes was entered by me and I confirmed the date. I bought my SBPro kit in 1992, but the game was available as early as 1991 (check the file dates if you don't believe me -- it was availble for the 1991 xmas season. I also worked a couple of blocks from ICOM's offices at the time :). So, a recap: The first example of DECENT full-motion video was indeed Sherlock Holmes. Earlier than that was Martian Memorandum, by a few months, and a passable attempt at digitized facial animation + digitized sound was Mean Streets in 1989. Again, there is the nagging feeling that there is some Amiga title that could qualify... -- Jim Leonard http://www.oldskool.org/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Like PC games?
