Comanche: Maximum Overkill

[joshua25fm]

is that MT-32 sound?

[SIG551P]

Wow, hard nostalgia here too. I remember reading the manual more than playing the actual game.

[BadManneredCat]

Nostalgia'd so hard...

[htholt23]

Thanks for uploading. I wore this game out back in the day.

Impresive graphics for 1992

voxel games: outcast. (play it, it's great), perimeter, even crysis uses voxels for terrain.

Used to sit on my grandfathers lap and play this game, I could only get to level 3, he'd have to play the rest. Miss this.

The audio is messed up, there is a channel missing. Did you only record mono?

[AlienFourTwoSix]

Hahaha, nice. The scene at 2:10 is classic. The wingman fires his Hellfires and you mark their target. But you can also select your wingman and he gets shot down by his own missile...

Loved this game and others by NovaLogic (Delta Force, XenoBots/Ultrabots).

I lived on this game growing up, with the classic two-button joystick.

[ToxicBarrel]

Wow! Great graphics, sound and music for 92 game!

[elftoes888]

EXACTLY WOW

[deplague]

voxel grafix... year! :o)

[tonyredsnake]

Wow! Awesome!

[IconOfSin24148]

What the? The music is totally different from what I normally hear. What did you select in the music option?

[gyiyg996]

I wonder how the hell the SNES version would work.. I didn't think a voxel engine would work correctly even with the SuperFX addon chip.

[JackiePaquito]

Great graphics for its time

[JackiePaquito]

Yeah! Classic!

[i486x]

Thanks a lot buddy, for uploading this. :)

[CuteFloor]

No problem :)

[CrazySandtrooper]

I wonder how good a voxel engine game could look with todays hardware! :)

[CuteFloor]

You might want to google for Ken Silverman's Voxlap engine, it's completely based on voxel graphics. There's also a game called "Voxelstein 3D", inspired by Wolfenstein 3D using this engine :)

[WhiteMageMentality]

Speaking of voxels, could you explain how it works to a layperson? I can't wrap my head around how it's supposed to work...

[CuteFloor]

You probably know that a digital picture is based on pixels. Well, voxel stands for VOlume piXEL, it's basically the same but in 3D. So, if you draw something in voxels, you can rotate and see it in any angle you want. It's often used to display detailed landscapes or single objects (like in the later games using Ken's Build engine).

You can see good examples in Ken's Voxlap engine that I mentioned above. He explained it pretty well.

[bachterman]

@WhiteMageMentality voxel is a pixel, but with depth. like those pictures with the thousand little pins that make an imprint of anything that you push into them from behind.

[solothurn666]

thats classic. havent played this one, but spent ALOT of time playing commanche 2 (which is lotsa younger).

btw, could you make a video of game named 'Gender Wars'? i miss that one and almost already forgot how did it look like. my memories need refreshing a bit ;)

[CuteFloor]

I'll see what I can do, but it might take a while.

[solothurn666]

great to hear that. worth to wait even a longer while ;)

[mechan9]

I remember drooling and despairing over the ad shots in Computer Gaming World. Despairing because I only had a lowly 286 at the time which was unable to run this game :{

It really does look great for its time.

[187onaPigeon]

This game looks great. Damn, especially for that time. The lighting looks amazing.
