That site sadly doesn't have THE explosino sprite footage though BUT i did find a mortar exploding , a disc exploding , a grenade exploding . and a flamethrower's flame more to mention.... Shadow Warrior is also filled with this explosion that has bad scaling and offsets (it'll center itself to the …

They eventually did have some redundant scaleability in the NAOMI though but that's crossing into Series2 territory....

it's unlikely because Quake had a hard cap for 1280x1024 in resolution enumeration (which could be raised in the source or a hex editing) ISA sound card is important if you wish to play those Build classics without it crashing when you enter water/sewer

For G100's GL I had to resort to a Techland D3D->GL ICD from Crime Cities. from there on I got Q3 to "work". Nothing blends and it looked completely ugly of course, but the speed was playable and the picture was sharp and I can see how sharp all those dithers are :) G100 gameplay can be a guilty …

Not a sim but CyberBykes did have 1280x1024 support in 1995 😀 The potential was always there, the CPUs weren't though, and games were already struggling to get to 640x480 by that point, being the luxury niche res for a while that the common ISA bus is totally crap for

Also common VBE extensions didn't really have much widescreen resolutiosns specified to begin with, unless you count 320x200/640x400/1280x800 as 16:10. The most old highres game I can think of that applies is Jane's US Navy Fighters and ATF, featuring 1024x768 support (for 1994!)

It's gotta be the DAC, the phosphors, the mechanical clunks, clacks and all the electrical whines you can muster. Also the cramped fingers you have when manually setting a bunch of jumpers in a row nonstop, as well as degunking your mouse ball / wheels and having a novelty cloth pad for them on. …

That depends on the monitor and if it has a choice of resampling. I'm guessing the Windows section implies Battle.net edition which is eternally stuck in 640x480 anyway, and maybe directdraw can be wrapped to a wrapper that can handle aspect correct 2D scaling, like DXGL or dgVoodoo2 (never tried …

S3 Trio64v should be fine on am5x86, i'd guess it's more of the classic conflict involved if you can't get anything more than VGA. You should be able to get up to 800x600x16/1024x768x8 on a 1mb Trio

Defiance has a low res but really smooth and very alpha blended variant. I believe Descent's infamously internet copied explosion is the same fireball but condensed down the middle Eradicator also uses it a lot.
