In Response To: Re: The mystery of the PID box (Hamish Sinclair)

: Hmmm... well we're talking mid-1993 here now. Not sure how many other games
: at that time had this effect. But perhaps people thought that the
: screenshot looked like it has a bad color separation problem or something.

The screenshot was just poor judgement, IMHO. Since no one will know what is visible and invisible in the normal view of the game, what sense does it make to show off an infra-red view? There's no clue as to what advantage it gives you. It's like showing a screenshot with the caption underneath stating "Awesome 30fps action!" How can one ever tell that by a static screenshot? :-)

: Interesting to note that Bungie never released an updated box when v2.0 was
: released to showoff the new floor and ceiling textures. The PID CD
: envelope contains a v2.0 screenshot.

"Should we redo the box art for the new PID version?"

"Eh, PID?"

"Yes, here's the cost..."

;; looks at price quote ;;

"Eh, could you please leave me alone, we're busy with Marathon now!"

I know, I know, I'm rocking your world... Sorry Mr. S :-)
