Comment on A Full Motion Video Codec For the Atari ST by Joshua

Comments for Hackaday
The Atari ST has got to qualify as an “old dog” 41 years after launch, and if playing Full Motion Video (FMV) cutscenes– from DOS games of a decade later– doesn’t count as a new trick, we’re not sure what does.
Just porting classic DOS games like [Jonas Eschenburg] is doing with Command and Conquer— a title 10 years newer than the ST– is an amazing tour de force.
Granted, [Jonas] has to work within the Atari’s limitations, so it doesn’t quite look the same.
The whole article is absolutely worth a read, and the demo videos generously sprinkled through it are worth a look, too.
Speaking of DOS games, did you know the Atari ST can run doom?
