Sorry, didn't mean to have it come off quite so strongly lol. I kind of just meant that some people dislike Steam and, like you, prefer GOG. Not necessarily that you yourself "dislike" Steam.

I wasn't referencing it specifically, no. But some people in general just dislike Steam and prefer GOG, like Tawm. That's the only reason I said it. But yeah, we did have that whole thread about just those differences...

Mage's Initiation now has a Coming Soon page on GOG. Go now and wishlist it if you're one of those anti-Steam/anti-DRM fellows.

Perhaps a possible new avatar, Collector? (QFG4 screens now on my Google Drive collection)

I took most of yesterday and wrote a script that extracts background resources from a Sierra game, converts to PNG, and upscales with ESRGAN. I'm doing all the Sierra games and uploading them to a Google Drive folder. I'll upload more as time goes on: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r6wxN7xQ...

The Lord of the Dead (2048x1460):

Someone in the thread mentioned it took him 8 seconds to render an image with his new RTX video card. Give that 10 years (if that) and we'll have a silky smooth 60fps framerate out of that.

On the King's Quest 6 CD-ROM there were a collection of hi-res versions of backgrounds from the game in 512x365 resolution (game resolution is 320x200). Using this upscaling method I converted one to 2048x1460 and it looks phenomenal!!! Upscaled w/ESRGAN (click to download at full res!): https://i.i...

Curse of Monkey Island:

A GIF comparison. I mean, just look at this. It's obviously not perfect but pretty darn close enough I'd say:

So this has been making the rounds in retro video game circles. It's been used with great effect for Doom sprite and texture upscaling and the Duke3D community has also been experimenting with it. I found a thread that featured upscaled backgrounds from Monkey Island 2 and the results are quite incr...

I also miss manuals.
