I bet "I like ya, Tweety!" reminded the elders of the classic Mars by Tim Clarke back from 1993. Move your mouse to get around. Beam me up, scotty!

i remember this thingie running smooth on my 386 back in 1993(?), which was a real knockout that time.

i doubt this was the most ripped routine around that days ;)

Wow. Running this on a 1GHz is... too fast. It's out of vsync and goes all choppy.

For once I'm glad my own computer is crappy, heh.

I was incredibly impressed by this when I first saw it running on my 486SX 25MHz back in the day.

Oh yeah! That old cool 4kb intro with nice shaded voxels, sky, controllable with mouse, running at full in my 486!

I always wondered who this Tim Clarke was and if he was a demoscener after all?
Anyway the first sizecode with style I ever saw.
And still one of my all time faves.

I remember no mouse flyby version of Mars, it was released before this one, isn't it?
rulez added on the 2014-11-21 09:38:14 by Manwe Manwe
I think there was a later 4k with no mouse that seemed to have ripped or being inspired by this?
