Yeah I would’ve been impressed

I would expect hackaday to go into more detail. Ironic.

It looks like all they did was uncap the render distance, to let the game render the high detail level at ranges that would have crippled the original hardware. They didn't actually hack higher quality resources into the game. Same resources, just all on screen at once.

Oh wow. I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Knew it from the thumbnail immediately.
