SGI IRIX was hilariously easy to break into. youtu.be/1kBKg4Qncrg

Or, sometimes, malice -- SGI destroyed Cray's archives in the '90s, and copies elsewhere were hard to locate. UNICOS installs for the X-MP and later machines have been located, I think, but I'm not sure what's turned up for the original Cray-1. Here's the start of the breadcrumb trail I know about:

The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-toy-st...

There's probably a pipeline, we just need to figure out how to do it at scale (and w/o an InDesign subscription). The other issue is that these are almost all Mac format and we've encountered issues with font compatibility, etc. in converting those, so they've just been our lowest priority

We've added 100 new CDs to our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine, with thousands of pieces of game art, screenshots, and more So, what's the GamePro press CD collection? We put together an explainer

3Dfx. Simply the best! I remember buying my first 3Dfx videocard - an Orchid Righteous 3D. Truly a game changer! Programmers could use the Glide 3D graphics API or battle with an early version of DirectX.
