Great job on the site celebi! ^^Quote from: celebi23 on November 13, 2009, 04:17:02 AMOnce I finish cleaning up the site, I'll upload the original scans. To preserve the quality of the images, I scanned them as PICT images. This caused the total size of all of the scans to be almost 700MB! I'll convert the images to JPEGS is people want.How about PNG, anything is better than jpeg... <<

Way to go. I'm very impressed that you were able to pull this off. Sorry I wasn't more help, but feel free to call on me in the future if there's anything I might be able to help you with.Dean
Thats what they did most of their work in was Macromedia Director. Remember the thing saying they were planning on using it to create the game? They then switched to DooM engine, but I bet they'd still have the source files. (but they might be stuck in those old files he mentioned)
Hehe, gotta love extreme backwards compatibility...BTW, what Mac do you have? (been curious)
actually,there was One.i distincly rememember it as a kid because i watched it more times then i could count.how ever,it was not a Game intro video.it was a trailer to the game,because of the limited amount of ownership of CD burners at the time, i couldn't burn it to a disk{heck,i installed Windows 95 from 40 3 "5" Floppy discs} It wasn't muich to speak of,but still cool.I'll describe it for you all ,as I'm sure noone will probably ever see this video again.The scene slows down to a city.The chex warrior returns to the city,and is cheered by fans and everyone as a hero.The sun sets,and darkness falls over the city.a Police officer notices something green on a banana peel,and throws it down to the ground.The green liquid seeps off the banana peel,and gently seeps into the sewer. A green Worm flemoid peeks it's head out of the sewer,and havok reaks on the cityThe Chex Warrior sees the Flemoid,and runs after it,saying I will zorch you for the last time{how cheesy...}Then it said"Chex Quest 2,coming soon,the Mission Continues"so it was never an intro movie,but it was a prelude to the story.hope this helps!
